The allflux® up-current classifier utilizes fluidised bed technology for density sorting and hydraulic classification, offering a highly efficient two-step process that eliminates the need for feed pre-thickening. At the core of the system is a feed cyclone, ensuring even distribution of slurry as it enters the classifier. In the first stage, the feed slurry is met with an up-current flow of fluidisation water in the coarse section, which separates dense and coarse particles that settle to form a fluidised bed, while light and fine particles flow upward into the fines section. In the fines section, ultrafine particles are carried with the fluidisation water to the overflow launder, while light and fine particles form a fluidised bed and are recovered as a product.

This process allows for efficient handling of slurries, with coarse and heavy particles separated in the coarse section and light particles and desliming handled in the fines section. Particles with a lower specific gravity than the fluidised bed overflow with the process water. Capable of processing top sizes up to four millimetres and handling throughputs of up to 450 tons per hour, the allflux® is globally recognized for its ability to sort, separate, thicken, and clean in a single step. Applicable to sand, coal, ore, and mineral sands, the allflux® sets a benchmark for versatile and efficient processing.
