Mechanical air separator for uniform fineness
Achieve precise material separation and de-dusting with our air separator, ensuring consistent fineness and efficiency in continuous high-speed operations.

Separates Fine Powders and Granules Efficiently
The Raymond® Mechanical Air Separator by Schenck Process is designed for efficient separation and de-dusting of fine powders in continuous operations. This equipment stands out with its unique whizzer blade design that enhances centrifugal action, suitable for both open and closed circuit configurations. Primarily used in cement, chemical, and fertilizer applications, it helps produce consistent end-products such as Portland cement, ammonium nitrate, and more.
The separator efficiently processes up to 99.5% passing 325 mesh, supporting operations in environments demanding precise particle size control. With a robust design, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines alongside ball, tube, and compartment mills. Engineered for energy efficiency, it circulates material through a closed loop, minimizing wastage and optimizing throughput.
Available with single or double whizzer configurations, the separator can handle the rigorous demands of chemical processing and mineral powder production, offering adaptability with customizable rotor speeds. Maintenance is streamlined due to its durable construction, ensuring longevity and continuous operation with minimal downtime.
