PHOENIX - Model HS Hydrosort™ -Hindered Settling Classifier
PHOENIX offers state of the art hindered settling classifier technology. The HYDROSORT separates light, deleterious material and classifies sand to suit your exact needs. The controlled and flexible addition of upward current water allows an easy adjustment of the HYDROSORT operation to meet customer specification. Both the cut size and cut density can be varied over a broad range.
The HYDROSORT consistently produces high quality, spec sand over a wide variation in raw material quality. The HYDROSORT is a hydraulic classifier and density separator utilizing a fluidized bed of slurry to separate materials by density, or to classify materials by particle size. A mineral slurry is fed into the top of the unit by conveyor belt, hydrocyclone or other means. The feed material encounters an automatically generated fluid bed formed by particles having the actual separation cut size. The spec sand is discharged through automatically controlled valves at the bottom of the unit. Lighter material cannot pass through the fluidized bed and floats to the top, where it is discharged.
