Air classifier for fine to medium-fine separation
Reduce energy consumption and wear while achieving high precision in the fine to medium-fine particle separation process, making it ideal for enhancing productivity and efficiency in various grinding and classification applications.
The Stratoplex ASP II air classifier from Hosokawa Alpine offers enhanced fine to medium-fine particle separation, specifically designed for continuous, high-speed processing in diverse industries such as chemicals, food, minerals, metals, pharma, and recycling. Its optimized design reduces wear and energy consumption, operating efficiently with a reduced speed of up to 20% compared to previous models. The machine employs a centrifugal classification mechanism where feed material is evenly distributed and separated through a classifying wheel and baffle system, ensuring high precision. Applications span from lithium-ion battery electrodes and gourmet chocolate to recycling PET bottles. With a throughput matching demanding industrial requirements, the ASP II integrates seamlessly into production lines, supporting remote monitoring and minimal maintenance, thanks to its modular design. The air classifier also features ceramic coatings for wear protection and is delivered with a comprehensive filtration system. Customizable settings, such as adjustable rotor speeds, make it adaptable to specific processing needs.
