Lites-Out™ Classifiers, aka Flat-Bottom Classifiers, are typically used to remove lightweight, deleterious materials, such as lignite and organic matter, from a <4 mesh (5mm) sand product stream.
Flat-Bottom Classifiers are part of the family of hindered settling classification equipment that includes McLanahan Hydrosizers™. These units use a dense fluidized bed of near-size sand to float off lightweight materials while allowing heavier fractions to pass through the bed.

- Galvanized plenum for long life
- Rubber lined feed tube for wear resistance
- Rubber teeter nozzles for long life
- Simple dart valve operation vs expensive pinch type valves
- Low profile for shorter structures
