Product catalog summary
Overview
Metso offers a comprehensive range of dry classification solutions designed to meet various dry particle sizing requirements in the mining and construction sectors. These solutions include gravitational, gravitational inertial, centrifugal, and cyclonic classifiers, each tailored for specific particle size ranges and operational needs.
Gravitational Classifier (G Series)
The G Series utilizes air flow, gravity, and directional changes to separate materials from 1,700 microns down to 150 microns. It operates without water, aligning with EPA water-usage regulations, and separates coarse particles through gravity while fine materials are conveyed by air to a fabric filter.
Gravitational Inertial Classifier (GI Series)
The GI Series employs secondary air flow, gravity, and directional changes to separate materials from 400 microns to 75 microns. It features no moving parts and uses ceramics in wear areas, minimizing maintenance. This series is ideal for producing engineered sands and mineral fillers.
Centrifugal Classifier (C Series)
The C Series uses secondary air flow to separate particles ranging from 100 microns to 20 microns. It allows for adjustable air flow and coarse-particle opening diameter, reducing maintenance costs with ceramic-enforced wear parts and no moving parts.
Cyclonic Ultrafine Classifier (CU Series)
The CU Series provides separation for particles from 50 to 10 microns, with a top feed size of 500 microns. Its unique inlet scroll design ensures smooth flow and allows for particulate removal adjustment, differing from conventional cyclones.
Ancillary Equipment
Metso offers ancillary air solutions to optimize the operation of air classifier equipment, enhancing dry solution capabilities. This includes fluid bed coolers and portable classifier solutions.
Fluid Bed Cooler
Fluid Bed Coolers work with a dust collector fan to cool granular feeds, creating a fluidized bed that removes dust and heat, discharging cooled material.
Portable Classifier Solutions
G or GI series classifiers can be mounted on skids or trailers for transportability, enabling quick setup and operation. These systems use cyclones for fine product removal and are supported by dust collectors.
Dust Collectors and Smart Package©
Dust collectors with appropriately sized fans are integral to all classifier series. The Smart Package© option includes critical components for international orders, allowing local manufacture of the dust collector's frame and structure.

Air Classifier Options Data Sheets-1

Mining and Construction Air Classification Solutions Gravitational ■ With the use of air flow, gravity and sharp directional changes, the Gravitational Classifier series (or G series) performs accurate separations of material from 1,700+ microns down to 150 microns. Coarse particles are conveyed by gravity through a valve at the bottom of the unit, and fine material is conveyed by air to a fabric filter. This G series is effective without the use of water, supporting EPA water-usage regulations. Gravitational Inertial ■ The GI Classifier series utilizes secondary air flow, along with gravity and sharp directional change, to make adjustable, accurate separations of material from 400 microns to 75 microns. With no moving parts and extensive use of ceramics in wear areas, GI Classifiers require limited parts replacement and virtually no maintenance. This series is widely used to produce engineered sands and mineral fillers to current specifications. Centrifugal ■ The Centrifugal Classifier (C series) uses secondary air flow to separate particles ranging from 100 microns to 20 microns. This air flow, as well as the diameter of the coarse-particles opening, is adjustable - for a clear, accurate cut point. Secondary air flow is also crucial in the removal of near-size particles. The C series is designed to reduce maintenance costs, with ceramic-enforced wear parts and no moving parts. Cyclonic ■ The Cyclonic Ultrafine (CU) Classifier series provides separation for a smaller range - from 50 to 10 microns - but can have a top feed size of 500 microns. The unique inlet scroll design creates a smooth, uniform flow without currents perpendicular to the main direction of gas flow. Different than conventional cyclones, it allows for adjustment of the amount of particulate removed.

Fluid Bed Cooler Fluid Bed Coolers work with a dust collector fan to cool granular feeds. The system draws material in from the top of the feed and spreads it with a distribution cone. Gravity then moves the material down through perforated trays, and air is drawn up through the material. This creates a fluidized bed, from which dust is drawn out with heat, and the cooled material is discharged. Portable Classifier Solutions G or GI series classifiers are mounted on skids or trailers with wheels to become fully transportable and enable quick setup and operation. These mobile systems use pairs...
