Air Classifier Overview

The Air Classifier is an advanced powder separation system designed for precise particle size control and high-efficiency classification of fine powders.

Unlike traditional screening methods, the air classifier uses aerodynamic separation technology to classify particles according to their size, density and aerodynamic characteristics.

JETER Air Classifiers provide accurate and stable classification performance for applications requiring narrow particle size distribution and consistent powder quality.

The equipment is widely used in battery materials, pharmaceutical powders, ceramic materials, minerals, chemicals and other industries where precise powder classification is required.

By integrating advanced airflow control and dynamic classification technology, JETER Air Classifiers help manufacturers improve product quality, reduce energy consumption and optimize powder processing efficiency.

Working Principle of Air Classifierhttps

The Air Classifier works based on the principle of centrifugal force, airflow resistance and gravity separation.

During operation, the material enters the classification chamber together with airflow.

Inside the classifier, the rotating classifier wheel generates a centrifugal force field.

Fine particles with lower mass are carried upward by airflow and pass through the classifier wheel.

Coarse particles with higher mass are unable to pass through the classification zone and are rejected back for further processing or discharged separately.

By adjusting the classifier speed and airflow parameters, users can precisely control the final particle size.

Main adjustment parameters include:

• Classifier rotor speed

• Airflow volume

• Feeding rate

• Material characteristics

This allows JETER Air Classifier systems to achieve stable and accurate powder separation.

Main Components of Air Classifier

1. Classification Chamber

The classification chamber provides the controlled airflow environment where particle separation occurs.

2. Dynamic Classifier Wheel

The rotating classifier wheel is the core component responsible for precise particle size separation.

Higher rotation speed produces finer classification results.

3. Airflow System

The optimized airflow design ensures stable particle movement and efficient separation.

4. Feeding System

The feeding system provides continuous and uniform material input to maintain stable operation.

5. Powder Collection System

The collection system efficiently separates classified powder from airflow.
