The three key areas of flotation are:
- Metallurgical performance
- Energy consumption
- Operating costs
Aging and worn mechanisms not only impact product quality by preventing cells from operating at maximum efficiency, but they also require frequent maintenance. This translates into increased downtime and costs.
The FloatForce rotor is the result of extensive laboratory, pilot, and plant-scale research and development, including computational fluid dynamics to optimize the final rotor and stator shape, as well as the position in the flotation cell. The design features wide pumping channels with separated air dispersion slots to ensure optimal mixing efficiency.
- More efficient mixing at the same air dispersion rate
- Maintained mixing at a higher dispersed aeration rate
- Interchangeable with conventional mixing mechanisms
- Increased wear life due to polyurethane lining that is double the standard thickness
