Introduction to Air Classifiers
- Air classifiers are commonly employed in industrial processes like food processing, cement, chemicals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and pigments to separate particles by density, shape, and size.
- They use air drag and centrifugal force to separate particles by mass and inertia, making them well suited for various industries.
- The working principle of air classifiers allows for efficient and fast separation of particles with varying physical characteristics.
- Air classifiers improve processing by classifying materials more efficiently and controlling air pollution.
- They are most effective for dry materials with particles smaller than 100 mesh (149 microns) and often used with grinding machines.
Air Classification Process
- The air classification process involves the use of air flow to separate coarse particles from fine particles, achieving precise particle size distribution.
- Air classifiers control particle size separation using airflow, classifier aperture, feed rate-to-air ratio, and classifier wheel speed.
- The process is carried out in a grinding chamber where material enters and is crushed into fine particles by high-speed rotor impact.
- The air stream carries the crushed material into the upper classifying area of the mill, where finer particles are separated from larger particles.
- The classifier wheel rotates at high speed, applying centrifugal force to separate fine particles and achieve particle size consistency.
Working Principle of the ACM
- The ACM air classifier mill uses dynamic air classifiers to control particle size distribution down to D97 < 20 µm.
- The mill recirculates coarse particles back into the grinding zone for efficient milling of various materials, including specialty chemicals and lithium carbonate.
- The working principle of the ACM involves the use of a high-speed hammer/rotor assembly for milling and an air classifier inside the grinding chamber to control particle size.
- The classifier wheel speed and airflow are adjusted to achieve the desired particle size distribution and minimize moisture buildup.
- The ACM is well suited for processing heat-sensitive materials and achieving lower energy consumption.
Air Classifier Mill Technology
- Air classifier mill technology combines mechanical impact crushing with air classification to produce fine powders with a narrow particle size distribution.

Particle Size Control
- Particle size control is a critical aspect of air classification, and is achieved through the adjustment of classifier wheel speed, airflow, and feed rate.
- The process involves the use of drag force to separate fine particles from larger particles and achieve the desired particle size distribution.
- Particle size control is essential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, and specialty chemicals, to ensure product quality and consistency.
