Micron Separator

Product overview

Hosokawa’s Micron Separator is a mechanical centrifugal air classifier, using “flow through” technology, providing precise, efficient, and reliable separations of materials. The Micron Separator is unique in the field of fine powder classification as it can be retrofitted to many popular grinders, such as the hammer mill or pin mill.

The machinery is able to classify particles by balancing the centrifugal force of the rotor and the centripetal force of the air. Material to be separated is pulled through by the fan into the inlet duct and up to the rotor, where the two opposing forces classify it. Finer particles are more susceptible to centripetal forces whereas coarse particles are more prone to centrifugal force. These forces flow coarse materials down the inside wall of the machine, emptying out the materials in the coarse particle discharge, while finer particles travel through the air current into the rotor and then discharged through the upper outlet duct. There are 12 motor options to suit all classification needs. The Micron Separators are perfect for applications in the food, chemical, and cosmetic industries.

Capacity: 25-40m3/hr, 350kg/ hr, down to 150 micron

2.2kw, 415V, Clasifier Speed 420-1630rpm

The rotor speed determines the centrifugal force; therefore particle size can be easily adjusted by changing the rotor speed.

The unit we have in stock is a second hand unit in good running condition.
