Abstract
An air classifier for classifying a mixture of fine and coarse particles by size or aerodynamic shape, wherein the air classifier generally comprises a settling box through which a laminar airflow passes that improves introduction of particles into the airflow and thus improves separation and grading of particles by the air classifier.
Claims14
An air classifier for separating and grading particles comprising:
- a settling box having an inlet and outlet, a fan positioned at the outlet for generating an airflow through the settling box in a direction from the inlet to the outlet, a plurality of vibratory receptacles for receiving and secondarily sorting particles, a material diffuser column for gravity feeding particles into the airflow, wherein said airflow and gravity separates and sorts said particles towards one of said vibratory receptacles and said vibratory receptacles secondarily separate and sort said particles.
