Industrial Flotation Cells for Mineral Separation - Reliable & Durable Design

Brief Introduction of Flotation Machine

Flotation machine is mainly used for separating copper, zinc, lead, nickel, gold and other non-ferrous metals, and it can also be used for ferrous metals and non-metallic rough and refined.

Types of Flotation Machine

Our company mainly produces three kinds of flotation machine as follows:

Mechanical Agitating Flotation Machine With Auto Air Suction
New structure of impeller is backwards inclined double impellers equipped with honeycomb duct and dummy bottom. Therefore, the slurry in the tank will cycle upward and downward in a fixed flow manner, which is helpful to the suspension of those coarse particles. Air and slurry are naturally sucked without need for foam pump.

Mechanical Agitating Aeration Flotation Machine Set
Models XCF and KYF are enforced aeration flotation machine. It has a smaller diameter of impeller, thus lower peripheral speed, saving 30-50% of power. Because and air distributor is equipped in the tank, air is evenly dispersed. The impeller acts as a centrifugal pump, so as to make the solid particles suspending. The tank is mode as u type, reducing sand settlement to the least .Due to reasonable design of the impeller structure and the impeller space, impeller wearing is even, so , the service life of the impeller and stator are extended. Model KYF is unable to spontaneously suck slurry, while has low power consumption. In contrast, model XCF has the ability to automatically suck slurry, and may be allocated horizontally without need for foam pump, but consumes more power than model KYF. Therefore, model XCF and model KYF are combined into a set, i.e., XCF as the sucking tank, and KYF as the direct tank. The combined set can be arranged horizontally without foam pump either.

Mechanical Agitating Flotation Machine with Auto Air Suction
The BF flotation machine impeller is composed of the closed double frustum, may produce the strong slurry under to circulate, its characteristic: (1) the suction intensity is big, the power loss is low.(2)each trough has the suction, attracts the thick liquid and the flotation process function, from becomes the flotation process return route, does not need any supporting facility, the level disposition, is advantageous for the flow change.(3) the slurry circulation is reasonable, can maximum limit reduce the coarse sand precipitation.(4) is equipped with the slurry surface automatic control and the electrically controlled installment, the adjustment is convenient.

Application of Flotation Machine

Flotation machines are primarily used in:

1. Mineral Processing (Major Use Case)
Sulfide Ore Flotation: Separation of copper, lead, zinc, nickel, and gold-bearing sulfides.

Non-Sulfide Mineral Recovery: Such as phosphate, potash, and fluorite.

Coal Cleaning: Removing ash-forming minerals from coal.

2. Wastewater Treatment
Removes oils, heavy metals, and suspended solids from industrial wastewater.

3. Recycling & Scrap Processing
Recovers plastics, paper fibers, and metals from waste streams.

Advantages of Flotation Machine

1. High Efficiency – Capable of recovering very fine particles (as small as 5–10 microns).
2. Selective Separation – Can target specific minerals by adjusting chemicals (collectors, frothers).
3. Low Operating Costs – Compared to gravity or magnetic separation methods.
4. Scalability – Used in both small labs and large industrial plants.
5. Environmentally Friendly – Reduces waste by maximizing mineral recovery.
