MZM & MZF Multi-Plex
Gravity classifier for sharp separations in the range of approx. 0.1 – 10 mm
- Gravity classifier for sharp separations in the range of approx. 0.1 – 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.
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.
