Application of a Novel Reflux Classifier for Separating Nut Shell Fragments from Powdered Food Mixtures

一种新型回流分级机在分离粉状食品混合物中坚果壳碎片的应用食品工业中的一项重要操作是从含有废料的混合物中物理分离出有价值的颗粒，如贝壳碎片。本研究的目的是研究一种新型的气固流态化系统的应用，该系统利用平行斜板从根本上放大不同的分离率，从而产生基于粒度的分离。我们的目标是对支配这一制度性质的原则有一个基本的理解。该项目将为食品业带来可观的技术和经济收益，培养一名训练有素、受过良好教育的研究生，并加强大学与疗养院之间的合作关系。

Application of a Novel Reflux Classifier for Separating Nut Shell Fragments from Powdered Food Mixtures. An important operation in the food industry is the physical separation of valuable particles from a mixture containing waste materials, such as shell fragments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of a novel gas-solid fluidised bed system, utilising parallel inclined plates to radically amplify the differential segregation rates to produce separations based on particle size. Our aim is to develop a fundamental understanding of the principles governing the nature of this system. The project should result in considerable technological and economic benefits for the food industry, a well trained and educated person at the postgraduate level, and a stronger collaborative link between the University and Sanitarium.
