WET CLASSIFIER

i Classifier Overview

WET CLASSIFIERS

The Satake i Classifier uses an advanced centrifugal rotor system to classify to a high degree of precision. A centrifuge is created in the chamber using a specially-designed rotor system that is the product of decades of research, testing, and CFD flow analysis by Satake engineers.

The Wet Process

Liquid Medium

A liquid medium is pumped into the chamber and the rotor is spun to create a stable centrifugal field at anywhere from 1000 to 3000 G forces. Your raw material is then pumped into the centrifuge chamber, where a steady stream of th material passes around the rotor blades.

Centrifuge Force

Particles are held at the outer edge of the rotor by a combination of forces:

Drag produced by the radial motion of the liquid media on the particles
Centrifugal force of the media

Different sized fine particles will pass through the rotor blades depending on the force generated by the centrifuge. Fines passed inside the blade feed into the central discharge shaft. Coarse particles under greater drag are forced to the outside of the chamber. Either coarse or fine particles can be collected. The entire liquid slurry is recirculated for further processing to maximize efficiency and reduce wastage.
