An air density separator, also known as an air separator or zigzag classifier, is a specialized device used in recycling and waste management to separate mixed materials based on their density. It utilizes air flow and mechanical forces to segregate lighter materials from heavier ones.
The process begins with a feed conveyor distributing mixed materials onto a vibrating deck or screen. As materials move along the deck, air is introduced from below, creating a zigzag pattern of air currents. This air flow causes lighter materials (such as paper, plastics, and films) to rise and travel upward, while heavier materials (like metals, glass, and stones) fall and move downward.
Air density separators effectively separate mixed materials by exploiting the differences in their aerodynamic properties. They are used in various applications, including separating shredded materials in recycling plants, separating grains in agriculture, and cleaning minerals in mining operations. These separators contribute to improving material recovery rates, reducing landfill waste, and optimizing resource utilization in diverse industrial sectors.
