In the realm of mineral processing and aggregate industries, efficient separation of materials of different sizes and densities is of paramount importance. Craftsmen Crusher has recognized the significance of this and integrated screw classifier technology into its crushing and screening systems.
What is screw classifier ?
A screw classifier, also known as a spiral classifier, is a mechanical device designed to separate solid particles from liquid or finer materials based on size and density. It’s widely used in the mineral processing industry to classify materials and ensure efficient separation.
Working Principle:
The working principle of a screw classifier is relatively straightforward. To begin, a mixture of solid particles and liquid (or pulp) is fed into the classifier at one end. Inside the classifier, a rotating screw-like structure conveys the material upward, simultaneously stirring and lifting the particles.
As the material moves along the screw, the particles are subjected to gravitational forces and water flow. This results in the separation of particles by size and density. The classifier carries larger, heavier particles to the bottom and then removes them, while it carries smaller, lighter particles up to the top and discharges them.
Key Components:
1.Screw Shaft: The screw shaft is the central component of the classifier. It conveys the material upwards while providing the necessary agitation for effective particle separation.
2.Spiral Blades: The spiral blades are attached to the screw shaft and play a crucial role in lifting and conveying the material. They also create a gradual increase in the volume of the classifier, allowing for separation to occur as the material moves along the screw.
3.Overflow Outlet: This is the point where the finer, lighter particles exit the classifier at the top.
4.Underflow Outlet: An underflow outlet typically removes the coarser, heavier particles that settle at the bottom.
