Flotation Machine
Agitated flotation for separation of valuable minerals from conditioned slurry. Cell duty is selected from testwork, pulp conditions and recovery targets.
Configured around the actual process duty
The Flotation Machine is selected from confirmed material, feed, capacity, product and site information. Its duty is reviewed together with upstream feeding, downstream transfer, classification, utilities, maintenance access and the agreed operating schedule.
Suitable feed
Prepared mineral slurry with confirmed chemistry, particle size and reagent program.
Process position
Selective separation after grinding and classification.
Engineering focus
Testwork, slurry density, residence time, air dispersion, agitation, cell volume and flotation circuit arrangement.
Aerated separation of conditioned particles
The impeller mixes slurry and disperses air. Hydrophobic particles attach to bubbles and rise as froth while other material remains in the pulp.
Stable performance depends on controlled feed, correct operating settings, suitable wear or process components and effective coordination with the surrounding plant.
- Application reviewed from confirmed material and duty data
- Operating configuration matched to the required process result
- Wear, maintenance and access requirements considered during selection
- Upstream and downstream equipment reviewed as one process
Information required before model confirmation
Catalogue ranges support early planning. Final capacity and equipment selection require confirmed project data.
| Review item | Information to provide | Engineering impact |
|---|---|---|
| Material properties | Material name, hardness or strength, abrasiveness, moisture and contamination. | Equipment suitability, wear selection and power demand. |
| Feed conditions | Maximum size, typical grading, feed rate and feeding method. | Inlet, loading pattern and upstream configuration. |
| Required duty | Target capacity, operating hours and expected availability. | Equipment size, drive duty and complete circuit capacity. |
| Required product | Target result, discharge specification and downstream process. | Operating configuration and downstream arrangement. |
| Site conditions | Country, altitude, power standard, utilities, installation and layout constraints. | Motor, controls, structure, access and delivery documentation. |

Common selection questions
What information is needed to select this equipment?
Share ore analysis, flotation test results, feed size, pulp conditions, target grade and recovery, and throughput.
Does the published capacity guarantee site performance?
Recovery and concentrate quality depend on mineralogy, liberation, reagents and operating conditions; a catalogue capacity is not a recovery guarantee.
Can flotation be selected without test work?
Representative bench or pilot testing is normally needed to establish whether flotation is suitable and to define a realistic process basis.
What supporting stages should be considered?
Grinding, classification, conditioning, reagent dosing, air supply and dewatering should be reviewed as a connected circuit.
How are spares and service items identified?
The selected cell design, slurry properties and duty determine relevant impellers, stators and other replacement items.
