Precision at the point of bend.

Quality in the result.

MZM & MZF Multi-Plex zigtag classifier

Whether dealing with different particle sizes, varying material compositions or high throughput rates: our MZM & MZF Multi-Plex zigzag classifier from Hosokawa Alpine ensures precise separation in the 0.3–10 mm range and reliable results – even under demanding operating conditions. At the same time, the MZM & MZF Multi-Plex gravity classifier impresses with its robust, low-maintenance and low-wear design. It is resilient to changes in the feed material and offers a high level of operational reliability – even under overload conditions. 

The result: consistent product quality, reliable processes and maximum cost-effectiveness. A classification solution that keeps pace with your requirements.

Key points at a glance

  • Gravity classifier for sharp separations in the range of approx. 0.3 – 10 mm
  • Single- or multi-tube classifier
  • Low-maintenance and low-wear design

Principle of operation

Alpine offers zigzag classifiers (ZZ Classifier) in two different designs: MZM and MZF. Each design is available in a range of machine sizes from a single-tube to a multi-tube classifier. Ideal for sharp separations in the range d97 = approx. 0.3 - 10 mm.

Throughputs can range from a few kg/h in the case of the laboratory classifier up to approx. 200 t/h for the industrial-scale multi-tube classifier. Classification takes place at every change in direction of the zigzag tube and permits an extremely high, steplessly adjustable precision of cut. The result is clean-cut fines or lightweight material, even under overload conditions.

Features

  • Maintenance-free and wear-resistant
  • Overload-proof
  • Insensitive to changes in the feed material composition

    As a result of these characteristics, once set, the classifying system can be operated over long periods without any supervision at all.

Further Applications

  • Oleiferous seeds: classifying systems for separating cracked soy beans or sunflower seeds
  • Precious metals: the separation of copper, aluminium or lead from the insulation material of previously cut cable scrap, Dust removal from plastic granules, coke, chalk, fertilisers, bauxite, etc.

Classifiers and air classifiers
Classifiers and air classifiers separate bulk materials precisely by particle size in an air stream. This lets you achieve defined finenesses from d97 = 2 µm to d97 = 200 µm. Typical applications include the classification of minerals, fillers and fine chemicals, as well as the de-dusting of toners.
