Ultrafine air classifier for powder separation
Achieve precise particle separation with technology designed to enhance your production efficiency by maintaining sharp cut points and optimizing fine powder yields. Perfect for applications demanding rigorous control over particle size and quality.
Classifies and Separates Ultrafine Powders and Granules
The Turboplex ATP Ultrafine Air Classifier from Hosokawa Alpine specializes in precise particle separation for industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to additive manufacturing. Utilizing a single-wheel or multi-wheel arrangement, it delivers superfine powders with fineness levels as precise as d97=2 µm, without spatter-grain formation. This classifier efficiently extracts fines from feed material using centripetal air flow and gravity, ensuring a clean, coarse product. Designed for continuous operation, it adeptly handles fluctuating feed rates while minimizing wear with its horizontal classifying wheel arrangement and optional wear-protection linings. Available in customizable materials for corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel for pharmaceutical uses, the Turboplex ATP seamlessly integrates into existing lines with its low space requirements and stable, easy-to-maintain design. Whether processing technical ceramics or achieving high-purity battery materials, this classifier enhances throughput and quality, making it adaptable for complex production lines.
