To reduce the SD content, the wet washing process is traditionally used, where the flow of water removes the fines particles (Bouso, 2000; Wigum et al., 2009). Washing is a simple physical separation process where sand is poured into a water recipient and dispersed by agitation. ... The air classifier was designed for the extraction of stone ...

Successful enrichment was achieved with pea and lentil, but this was not the case for chickpea due to the smaller starch granules and higher fat content. The best conditions for pea were air classification at an air-classifier wheel speed of 8000 rpm. Subsequently, electrostatic separation was optimized with two passes.

The results show that the airflow velocity and location of the air inlet and outlet have a significant impact on medium-grained (0.15~1.18 mm) and fine-grained (0.075~0.3 mm) sand. Adjusting the ...

How Size Reduction and Air Classifying Equipment Extracts Proteins. The most popular plant crops used for protein extraction are varieties of pulses and beans that contain between 20-35% protein. Various extraction methods will concentrate this protein to 50% or better where more specialized techniques can isolate the protein to as high as 90%.

The air classifier is designed for dry operation; material moisture preferably should not exceed 2 to 3 percent, with 4 to 5 percent as maximum for most materials. The Sturtevant Whirlwind air ...

Abstract. Volute profile plays an important role in guiding the airflow for a turbo air classifier. The traditional volute design is based on the method of analogue and there is a lack of uniform theoretical design basis and guidance. To meet the needs of guiding the airflow better, a logarithmic spiral volute design method is put forward …

Yoshida, et al. [10] found through experiments with a straight duct type air classifier that separation curves can be approximated by a cumulative normal distribution function. Hirajima, et al. [15] found this cumulative normal approximation was applicable also to zigzag type air classifiers. More recently, Eswaraiah, et al. [13] devised an ...

Van Tongeren developed three models of air classifier in 1958, using knowledge of air flow gained through the earlier development of cyclones. The equipment is used to classify particles into different size ranges (as opposed to a cyclone, which is designed to collect particles of all sizes). The three models were the gravitational, the ...

In contrast, dynamic classifiers have a variable speed rotating cage which allows adjustment of the cut size (Altun et al., 2016).Since their introduction in 1885, Altun and Benzer (2014) dynamic centrifugal air classifying equipment has evolved through three generations. In the first generation classifiers, as shown in Fig. 3 b, an integrated …

Mechanical centrifugal air classifiers are useful in many applications, including the following: • Dedusting undesireable fines in many types of aggregate stone, such as limestone, granite, trap rock, …

The classifier has a square tangential air-inlet and a long circular vortex finder. The upper feed port was omitted in the simulation process. As a key part of the classifier, the rotor cage is applied to be horizontally positioned. 40 radial blades are installed evenly across the circumference of the rotor cage.
