How to Select the Right Air Classifier for Fluorspar Powder Processing

Equipment knowledge / By

Fluorspar (calcium fluoride, CaF₂) is a critical industrial mineral that serves as the primary source of fluorine for the chemical, metallurgical, construction, and optical industries. However, the value of fluorspar powder is not determined by purity alone — particle size distribution plays an equally decisive role. From coarse metallurgical-grade fluorspar passing 100 mesh (≈150 μm) […]

HTS Air Classifier for Ultrfine D97 8μm Calcium Oxide Powder

Equipment knowledge / By

Calcium oxide, commonly known as quicklime, is a fundamental raw material used across a wide range of industries including metallurgy, building materials, environmental protection, and chemical manufacturing. In each of these applications, the performance of calcium oxide powder depends heavily on its particle size distribution. Too coarse, and the reaction rate becomes too slow. Too

CTC vs MBS Air Classifier: A Technical Comparison to Help You Choose the Right System

Equipment knowledge / By

The CTC centrifugal classifier and the MBS powder separator both classify dry mineral powder by particle size. That is where the similarity ends. The CTC is a self-contained single unit: no cyclones, no bag filters, no external fan — the material enters, classifies, and both fractions discharge from the bottom. The MBS requires a full

MBS Series Air Classifier for Calcium Carbonate: How It Works, What It Achieves, and How to Select the Right Model

Equipment knowledge / By

The air classifier is where particle size specification is actually set in a calcium carbonate grinding circuit. For example, the ball mill produces a broad range of sizes. The classifier is what decides which particles become product and which return to the mill. A classifier with poor separation sharpness produces a broad particle size distribution

Anode Graphite Air Classification: How to Achieve Sharp D90 Control on a Material That Resists It

Equipment knowledge / By

Graphite is one of the most difficult materials to classify accurately. Not because it is particularly hard — calcite and quartz are both harder — but because of its shape. Natural graphite and most artificial graphite particles are lamellar: flat, plate-like structures with a high aspect ratio. A classifier that uses aerodynamic drag to separate

GCC Classifier Settings for Plastics vs. Paints: Why the Same Mill Needs Different Parameters for Each Market

Equipment knowledge / By

A GCC producer supplying both the plastics compounding market and the architectural paint market. It’s in practice, running two completely different products through the same classifier. The limestone is the same. The mill is the same. But the particle size distribution that a blown-film manufacturer needs is not the same with an emulsion paint formulator

Air Classification for Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode Materials: How It Works, Why It Matters, and What It Delivers

Equipment knowledge / By

The particle size distribution of cathode material is one of the most important variables in lithium-ion battery performance. Too wide a distribution and your electrode coating is uneven, ion diffusion is inconsistent, and capacity varies between cells. Too many oversized particles – even a handful of what engineers call killer particles – and you risk

What is the Production Process of Anode Material (Petroleum Coke/Needle Coke) ?

Equipment knowledge / By

Petroleum coke is a product obtained from the distillation of crude oil, where light and heavy oils are separated, followed by the thermal cracking of the heavy oil. It has an irregular shape, with carbon being its primary elemental component. As a fuel, petroleum coke can replace heavy oil, representing an excellent pathway for new
