- Classification takes place according to the centrifugal counterflow principle in a rapidly rotating classifying wheel.
- The powder is dosed into the viewing chamber and transported to the viewing wheel by the air flow.
- Fine particles pass through the wheel, are discharged with the air and separated in a cyclone filter combination or in a filter.
- Coarse particles are rejected by the classifying wheel and collected in a collection container.
- The separating air is fed into the lower part of the housing via a paddle ring; this disperses the rejected coarse material and increases the separating efficiency of the separator.
- The separating cut is adjusted by varying the gas volume and the classifier speed.
