The air-screen gravity separator is a composite machine that combines air separation, screening, and gravity separation, while the gravity separator is a single gravity separation machine.
Key Differences
Cleansing Principles
* **Air Screen Gravity Separator:** Integrates air separation, screening, and gravity separation principles. It first removes light impurities through air separation, then uses a screen to separate by size, and finally uses gravity to separate lighter and heavier particles.
* **Gravity Separator:** Relies solely on differences in specific gravity (material density, particle size) to separate materials into layers under vibration and airflow.
Functions and Applicable Scenarios:
Air Screen Gravity Separator: Comprehensive functions, capable of handling materials with multiple impurities and sizes, suitable for fine cleaning of grains, seeds, etc., achieving higher purity.
Gravity Separator:Single function, focusing on separating impurities of different specific gravities but similar sizes, suitable for fine separation after coarse selection or for removing single impurities.
Structure and Complexity:
Air Screen Gravity Separator: Complex structure, including components such as a fan, screen box, and gravity separator, resulting in large size and high cost.
Gravity Separator:Simple structure, with the core being a gravity separation device, small size, easy operation, and lower cost.
The air-screen gravity separator is suitable for fine processing scenarios requiring multiple impurities and high purity, while the gravity separator is suitable for separating impurities with a single specific gravity difference.
Application Scenarios for Air-Screen Gravity Separators:
Complex material impurities: For example, grains and seeds mixed with various impurities such as light impurities (dust, straw), large particles (stones, broken shells), and heavy impurities (mud, metal shavings).
High-purity cleaning requirements: Applications such as seed cultivation and high-quality grain processing require achieving a high level of material purity (e.g., seed purity above 98%).
Large-scale batch processing: Suitable for farms, seed stations, grain processing plants, etc., requiring continuous processing of large quantities of materials (e.g., daily processing of hundreds of tons) and a desire to complete the entire cleaning process in one go.
Multi-specification material processing: Capable of simultaneously separating impurities of different sizes and specific gravities without the need for additional equipment.
Application Scenarios for Gravity Separators:
Separation of impurities with a single specific gravity difference: The main impurities in the material are similar in size to the target material but have different specific gravities (e.g., plump seeds and shriveled grains, stones and grains).
The fine separation process after rough selection: After most impurities have been removed by screening and air separation, the remaining impurities with different specific gravities are separated to improve purity.
