Summary

Cascade-gravity classifiers are meant for separation of materials into predetermined cut fractions in the air stream in the size range from 0.1 to 5.0 mm.

Description

Separation of materials is possible due to influence of the gravitational field and air stream on material particles. The cascading system of separation is implemented in the construction whereas classification process has a cycle character allowing reaching high accuracy of separation. Cascade-gravity classifiers can operate in a closed air cycle, i.e. the air or its part returns from the system of aspiration to the classifier.

Technology type

Technical advantages and economic benefits

The construction ensures possibility to adjust fractional composition in the course of operation without suspension of production. If materials larger than 1 mm are separated, classifiers are able to process it without preliminary drying, material humidity can be as high as 3%.

Technology differentiation and uniqueness

Production of market products from screening waste generated at grinding units.

Context in which technology was identified

Cascade-gravity classifiers are successfully used at enterprises of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan.

Technological keywords

Cascade-gravity classifiers, separation.

Development Stage

Intellectual property rights

Range of applications

Cascade-gravity classifiers are designed for separation of any granular material including grinding screenings into several fractions and production of construction material, such as small cubical crushed stone, sand with particles of predetermined size, fine fillers for concrete and asphalt concrete, filtering powder, abrasive powder, etc.

Classifier Used at the EU Innovation Relay Centres

Preferable Regions

Practical experience

Air cascade-gravity classifiers implemented at the Scientific Production Association “Center” demonstrated their high efficiency, reliability, simplicity in operation and possibility of fractional composition adjustment.

Environmental impact

A system of gas emissions treatment has been developed. Dust level of gas emissions does not exceed the permissible rate.

Type of collaboration sought

Terms and restrictions

The technology cannot be transferred.
