Wind microseparator
From the MS series microseparators, two products are always obtained:
A) The finer fraction with particle size less than 10÷80 microns depending on the setting adopted
B) The residual fraction with particle size greatly depleted from the finer particles.
Some of the fine powder, in varying percentages depending on the specific application and adjustment, remains mixed with the residual fraction.
The residual fraction B can be:
- Employed for applications requiring lesser finesse.
- Sent back to the microseparator for more complete extraction of fine A product.
- Remilled with suitable mills.
In the classification zone, particles are subject to 2 opposing forces:
- the CENTRIFUGAL FORCE of a fin rotor, which tends to project particles against the outer walls of the machine, with the effect proportional to their mass, and ultimately to their size;
- the TRAINING FORCE of the air current forced through the microseparator, which tends to drag the finer particles through the rotor fins.
The CENTRIFUGAL FOR CE can be adjusted by varying the speed of the rotor, while the TRAINING FORCE can be adjusted by varying the speed of the air stream.
By appropriately controlling these 2 forces, the desired grain size cut is obtained.
CIMMA develops and manufactures plants suitable for the separation and concentration of plant proteins.
