Product Description

1. What is a Zigzag Air Classifier?

Removal of light impurities: It can helps separate lightweight contaminants such as plastic film, paper, foam and fibers from heavier fractions. This preliminary separation can reduce the amount of lightweight contaminants entering downstream equipment, helping improve system stability and reduce unnecessary maintenance.

Material pre-purification: The machine performs preliminary classification based on differences in material density and aerodynamic behavior,This can improve the efficiency of downstream magnetic, eddy current, and electrostatic separation processes.

The enclosed air-classification system can be integrated with a cyclone or dust collection system to help control airborne dust generated during processing.

3. How does the Zigzag Air Classifier Work?

It is based on aerodynamic principles, Sorting is accomplished by utilizing the difference in suspension velocity of different materials:

The mixed material is evenly fed into the zig-zag classification chamber, where controlled airflow separates particles according to their aerodynamic behavior and settling velocity..

Lightweight materials are carried upward by the airflow, while heavier particles have a higher settling velocity and move downward under gravity.

4. Applications:

Plastic recycling scenario: The ZigZag Air Classifier can process waste plastic fragments such as PET bottle flakes and PP/HDPE hard plastic scraps, Separate the light impurities.

Solid waste treatment scenario: Suitable for industrial waste materials such as automotive shredded materials and scrap steel shredded materials, It can separate the plastic components from the sponge and paper scraps; It can separate lightweight materials such as plastic films, bags, sponge, and paper from heavier fractions such as metals and bricks.

Expanding scenarios across industries: It can also be used with grain seeds, mineral building material granules, and other materials. In the agricultural cleaning industry, we complete the impurity removal and cleaning of grain seeds such as wheat and corn, Achieving refined grading of powdered and granular industrial materials in the building materials and mining industries.
