  • Patent number: 5921481
    Abstract: An air classifying system that can produce toner particles having a desired particle size is disclosed. The air classifying system contains a supplying pipe for supplying raw materials; a truncated cone-like breather pipe that has a ratio of minimal opening sectional area S.sub.1 to a maximum opening sectional area S.sub.0 being between 0.2 and 0.5, and an angle .theta. formed between axis and generatrix being between 10.degree. and 35.degree.; a classifying means for classifying the raw materials supplied through the supplying pipe; and an air flow-generating means for generating air-flow for transporting the raw materials in the classifying system.
