Ultrafine classifier for soft to medium-hard mineral processing
Achieve exceptional particle precision with an ultrafine classifier that optimizes mineral processing by enhancing throughput and minimizing energy use, ensuring every product—from cosmetic powders to battery electrodes—is produced to exact specifications and quality standards.

Classifies and Processes Fine Powders and Granules
The Turbo Twin Double TTD from Hosokawa Alpine stands out as an exemplary classifier mill, adept at ultrafine classification of powders and granules. Leveraging its patented Turbo Twin wheel geometry, it facilitates high throughput and precise classification, reaching fineness levels up to d97= 3.0 μm. With six machine sizes available, it suits varied capacities, up to 120 m/s peripheral speeds, perfect for industries like chemicals, food, and minerals. This equipment is engineered for energy saving, achieving up to 25% reduced power consumption through a low pressure drop. The TTD is PLC-controlled for smooth integration into existing workflows and designed with maintenance in mind, featuring a double flooded fine material outlet to simplify upkeep. Fabricated for robustness, it is compliant with industry standards and available in materials suited for chemical resistance, supporting large-scale, continuous processing with customized configurations upon request.
