Classification and collection concerns

Classifier operation is a critical but often overlooked step in any process. Optimal set-up and real-time monitoring can lead to significant process gains. Real-time control of separator speed, improved cut efficiency and the removal of bottlenecks to improve yield are all goals in optimizing the process. The following concerns apply to both wet and dry unit operations:

	High load on the grinding unit impacts throughput
	Sub-optimal operation leading to yield bottlenecks
	Many grades of powder from the same feedstock requiring different process set points
	Labor-intensive manual control of process
	Poor batch-to-batch comparability
