Presented by Ian Hancock, Eng Tech MIET IEng FIMechE; Vice President, Sales & Operations – Bradley Pulverizer
Wednesday, April 26th at 1:30 in the Tech Theater
Air classification is a common processing technique employed for the separation of coarse products from fines. While traditionally used in the minerals industry for heavy-duty applications, the need for classification of specialized powdered materials and for hygienic applications is growing. This session will chronical the evolution of the Bradley Pulverizer Windsifter Air Classifier from its historic roots in industrial mineral processing to the newly designed stainless steel classifier, ideal for highly specialized applications. Topics presented will include:
- Design considerations in taking an air classifier from a heavy-duty mineral processing machine to a specialized unit for low contamination use
- Challenges in the process of development and design
- Achievements and developments with rotor designs for specialized applications
- Next steps and future goals for the design
- Case studies/novel application examples will be presented
