MAC Air Classifier
Prater MAC Air Classifiers process dry materials to exceptional fineness and uniformity over a wide range of feed variations. Offering separations from 3 to 150 micron, they are ideal for use in closed-circuit with a conventional milling system or as independent “stand-alone” systems incorporating feeder, fan, and product collection equipment.
The MAC Air Classifier’s superior performance is due to a design that ensures feed material entering the classifying vortex is unimpeded by re-circulating coarse fractions and an adjustable secondary air stream that improves collection of near-size particles. The MAC can easily be installed in existing air systems with minimal modification.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Theory Of Operation
Prater MAC Air Classifiers utilize adjustable centrifugal force to separate particles in a pneumatic circuit. As product is conveyed thru the primary air inlet, individual particles are subjected to aerodynamic drag by the pneumatic air. This drag force varies with the size and density of the individual particles. As particles spiral toward the classifier rotor, one of two things occur:
Cut-point is determined when the forces are equal, in which case particles have a 50/50 chance of passing as fines. Cut-point is variable and can be controlled by adjusting the rotor speed. A secondary air inlet introduces a controllable amount of air that moves upward into the classification zone, increasing agglomerated and near-size particles' residence time. This air helps to increase collection efficiency of the desirable product.
