Hosokawa’s Mikro® CC Air Classifier is an in-line fines classifier that can handle a wide range of materials in many size ranges making cut points between 3 μm to 20 μm possible using unique internal
dispersion systems.
The Mikro® CC Air Classifier was originally developed for dedusting powder coatings, removing fines product below 5 µm; however, its effectiveness can be applied to other fine chemicals. Hosokawa's Mikro® CC Air Classifier is an in-line classifier that can handle a wide range of materials in many size ranges making cut points between 5 µm and 100 µm possible. The unique internal dispersion of material allows for sharp particle distributions while maintaining high throughput. The compact design of the Mikro® Classifier allows for complete access to the interior to facilitate cleaning and product changeover. Typical applications include: powder coatings (epoxy or acrylate based); fluidized bed and drying processes; hot gas systems and minerals.
The Hosokawa Micron classifiers and cyclones are coordinated perfectly to match the Mikro ACM® Air Classifying Mill series. The classifiers can thus be integrated in-line into a grinding system or can be employed off-line as an independent classifying system.Design & Options:
The feed product is fed tangentially to the top of the classifier. The
classifying wheel separates the feed product into a coarse fraction and a
fines fraction. The classifying air and the fines pass through the
classifier wheel, whereas the coarse material settles on the housing
wall. A flow of secondary air introduced tangentially above the product
discharge recirculates any unclassified material to the classifying
wheel for renewed classification, whereby agglomerates are dispersed and
the material is then distributed uniformly in the classifying zone. The
optimized classifying wheel geometry results in a high product yield at
an extremely high precision of cut. In addition, the low pressure drops
result in low energy consumption and correspondingly lower operating
costs.
