The UCX aerodynamic classifiers were created with the thought of using them in the production of ultra-fine materials.
Our engineers working on classifiers of this type used modern, complex technologies to offer devices ready for use in demanding applications where very fine particles are still produced with high efficiency.
The UCX aerodynamic (pneumatic) classifier is combined with a cyclone, air filter and fan.
The batch material is evenly supplied to the classifier by means of a screw or vibrating feeder and pneumatic transport. In this type of separator, the material is tangential to the rotor chamber. The advantage of this type of supply is the initial velocity of the gas-powder mixture. Inside the classifier there is a rotor with a diameter depending on the size of the device, the speed of which determines the size of particles that are able to get through the spaces between the blades. In the UCX aerodynamic classifier, there are three phenomena that separate fine/light grains from coarse/heavy ones.
The first phenomenon occurs when the stream of material falls within the rotor, and more precisely – in its upper part. Then the fine grains closer to the rotor are immediately sucked in. The second phenomenon occurs a bit lower in the middle part of the rotor, where a stream of secondary air A is directed to the system through a tangential pipe and static blades. It causes dispersion of the material, release of fine grains, and then directing them between the spaces between the blades of the rotor. The third phenomenon occurs downstream, where the coarse/heavy fraction rejected by the rotor, still having small grain size/mass
