1).Air drum separator is a device that uses airflow to separate materials according to different physical properties (such as density, shape, size, etc.). This machine is widely used in many industries, including food processing, plastic recycling, mining, chemical industry, etc., to improve production efficiency and product quality. Here are some basic introductions about air separators:
2).Working principle
The basic working principle of an air drum separator is to affect the motion state of material particles by generating a directional or controlled airflow, so that material particles with different characteristics are separated by different forces in the airflow. Common air separation technologies include gravity separation, centrifugal separation, suspension separation, etc.
3).Main components
1.Feed system: used to evenly feed the materials to be separated into the separator.
2.Airflow generator: usually one or more fans, used to generate enough airflow to push the materials.
3.Sorting chamber: This is the main space where the materials are separated in the airflow.
Collection system: The separated materials are directed to different collection areas for further processing or packaging.
3).Application areas
1.Agriculture and food industry: For example, in grain processing, to remove impurities or classify grains of different qualities.
2.Recycling industry: used to remove non-target materials or sort different types of recyclables during the processing of recycled materials such as plastics and paper.
3.Mining and Chemical Industry: used for preliminary processing of ores or other raw materials, such as removing light impurities or sorting according to mineral density.
4).Technical Features
1.High Precision: It can effectively separate different components in mixed materials accurately.
2.Energy-saving and high efficiency: Compared with other sorting methods, air sorting is usually more energy-efficient and has lower operating costs.
3.High degree of automation: Modern air sorters are often equipped with advanced control systems to achieve continuous and automated sorting processes.
