Powder air classifier is a device used to separate materials based on their size, shape, and density through the use of air flow. It is commonly used in industries such as mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and recycling to classify materials into different categories for further processing or disposal. Air classifiers are versatile and efficient machines that can handle a wide range of materials, making them an essential tool in many industries.
What is air classification?
Air classification is a process of separating materials based on their size and shape using air flow. The air classifier works by passing a stream of material through a series of interconnected chambers where the material is subjected to different forces such as gravity, centrifugal force, and air flow. As the material moves through the chambers, particles of different sizes and shapes are separated and collected in different compartments.

What materials work best for powder air classifier?
Air classification is best suited for materials that have a wide range of particle sizes and shapes, such as:
- Powders: Fine powders with particle sizes ranging from nanometers to microns can be easily separated using air classifiers.
- Granules: Coarse granules with irregular shapes can be effectively classified using air classifiers.
- Aggregates: Aggregates made of different materials and sizes can be separated using powder air classifiers.
Powder Air Classifier Working Principles for Separating Material by Particle Size
Powder air classifiers work on the principle of separating materials based on their particle size by using air flow. The working principles of air classifiers can be summarized as follows:
- Inlet: The material to be classified is fed into the air classifier through an inlet, where it is mixed with air and subjected to airflow.
- Distribution: The material is distributed evenly in the air classifier, allowing for uniform separation of particles.
- Classification: As the material moves through the air classifier, particles of different sizes and shapes are separated based on their weight and aerodynamic properties.
- Collection: The separated particles are collected in different compartments based on their size, allowing for easy retrieval and further processing.
Limitations of Air Classifiers
- Limited size range: Powder Air classifiers are best suited for materials with particle sizes ranging from nanometers to millimeters, making them less effective for very fine or very coarse materials.
- Sensitivity to moisture: Air classifiers may be sensitive to moisture in the material, affecting the accuracy of classification and reducing efficiency.
- Limited capacity: Air classifiers have a limited capacity for processing materials, making them less suitable for high-volume applications.
What will my air classification system include?
Powder air classification system typically includes the following components:
- Inlet: The inlet is where the material to be classified is fed into the air classifier, where it is mixed with air and subjected to airflow.
- Air classifier: The air classifier is the main component of the system, where the material is separated based on its size and shape using air flow.
- Collection compartments: The separated particles are collected in different compartments based on their size, allowing for easy retrieval and further processing.
- Air flow system: The air flow system controls the movement of air within the classifier, ensuring efficient separation of particles.
