vákuumosztályozó

A vákuumosztályozó, commonly known in English as a vacuum classifier, is a piece of industrial equipment used for separating solid particles based on their size and density. It operates by utilizing a controlled flow of air or gas to levitate and transport material. Lighter or smaller particles are carried further by the air stream, while heavier or larger particles fall back down or are collected at different points.

The core principle relies on the balance between gravitational force and aerodynamic drag. By adjusting the airflow rate and the geometry of the classifier, precise control over the separation process can be achieved. This allows for the production of different size fractions from a single feed material, effectively sorting it into distinct groups.

Vákuumosztályozók find applications in various industries, including mining, metallurgy, chemicals, and food processing. They are often employed in conjunction with grinding mills or other size reduction equipment to create closed-loop systems. In these systems, the classifier continuously removes fine particles that have reached the desired size, preventing over-grinding and improving efficiency. Conversely, coarser particles are returned to the grinding mill for further processing. The separation achieved by these devices is crucial for optimizing product quality and process performance in many manufacturing environments.
