Windsifter is a device that uses airflow to separate and classify particles of different densities or sizes. It is widely used in mining, chemical, food, pharmaceutical and other industries to separate materials for effective material processing and utilization. The following is the working principle and main features of windsifter.
Working principle:
1. Airflow conveying: The material enters the windsifter through the feed port, and the airflow is generated by equipment such as fans. The high-speed airflow suspends the material and transports it to the sorting area.
2. Sorting area: In the sorting area, the speed and direction of the airflow will affect the movement trajectory of the material. Light particles are brought to the upper part due to the action of the airflow, while heavy particles sink due to gravity.
3. Classification:
- Light materials: are lifted by the airflow and enter the upper layer or outlet of the airflow to become light products.
- Heavy materials: are left at the bottom of the separator due to gravity and are eventually discharged as heavy products.
4. Adjustment parameters: By adjusting the airflow speed, flow rate and internal design of the separator, it is possible to separate particles of different sizes and densities and optimize the separation effect.
Main features:
- Efficient sorting: It can efficiently separate materials, especially suitable for the classification of light and heavy materials.
- Strong flexibility: The working parameters can be adjusted according to the material characteristics to meet different sorting needs.
- Low energy consumption: Compared with other sorting equipment, windsifter consumes less energy during operation.
Application areas:
- Mining: Separation of metal ores and impurities.
- Chemical industry: Separation of chemicals of different particle sizes.
- Food: Screening of grains, sugar, salt, etc.
- Pharmaceutical: Separation of drug powder, etc.
