Laboratory Electrostatic High-Tension Separator

Separation of dry granular materials can be based on differences in surface conductivity ("high-tension" mode) or by preferential charging and attraction of materials to an electric field of opposite charge (static mode).

The laboratory console is designed to treat particles ranging in size from 1mm (16 mesh) with a capacity of up to 150 kg/h (330 lb/h), based on material having a bulk density of 1600 kg/m³ (100 lbs/ft³). For non-mineral applications, this separator is capable of treating particles up to 10mm (0.4") in size
