Grading Machine "Micro Shifter" / Air Jet Sieve Particle Size Analyzer
A unique classifier that carries powder particles on an air flow and passes them through a screen.
To classify powder particles into the required sizes (a process called classification), there are two common methods: using a screen (sieve) and using air flow to classify based on differences in specific gravity (air classification machine). It is not feasible to achieve 100% or a mixing ratio of 0% with an air classification machine, and a vibrating sieve cannot handle large volumes due to issues like clogging. The "Micro Shifter" is a unique classification machine that allows powder particles to pass through a screen while being carried by an air flow. The newly developed fan-less type (NF type) incorporates a specific gravity sorting mechanism, achieving higher precision classification. The "Air Jet Sieve Particle Size Analyzer" uses dedicated JIS standard sieves and can measure down to a minimum of 20μ. 【Features】 ■ High precision classification and sorting ■ Can handle easily agglomerated fine powders ■ Can process adhesive powders ■ High reliability due to screen type ■ Screen replacement is easy with a one-touch mechanism ■ Easy internal cleaning ■ Minimal vibration ■ Can be used for removing foreign materials such as hair and debris from powders, as well as removing powder from particles ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
