  • 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.
