Flotation Machine

FRP offers GF, XCF and SF series flotation machines for the beneficiation of non-ferrous, ferrous and precious-metal ores, as well as selected non-metallic minerals. Suitable for roughing, cleaning and scavenging duties, these machines separate mineral components based on differences in their surface physicochemical properties.

After reagent conditioning, the slurry is thoroughly mixed and brought into contact with dispersed air bubbles in the flotation cell. Hydrophobic mineral particles selectively attach to the bubbles and rise to form a mineralized froth, while more hydrophilic particles largely remain in the pulp, enabling effective separation of different mineral components.

Key Benefits / Advantages

Optimized Impeller and Stator Design

The impeller and stator system is designed to provide effective slurry circulation and uniform air dispersion, improving bubble-particle contact efficiency and creating more stable flotation conditions. This helps enhance mineral attachment, supports froth stability, and contributes to better recovery and concentrate grade across different flotation duties.

Stable Aeration and Froth Formation

A stable aeration system is essential to flotation performance, and FRP flotation machines are designed to maintain consistent air distribution and froth generation throughout operation. This allows valuable minerals to attach to bubbles more effectively, improves separation stability, and supports more reliable metallurgical performance in continuous-duty circuits.

Adaptable to Different Mineral Applications

FRP flotation machines are suitable for a wide range of metallic and non-metallic mineral flotation processes, including copper, gold, lead-zinc, fluorite, graphite, and other floatable ores. Their process adaptability makes them suitable for different slurry characteristics, flotation stages, and plant requirements.

Flexible Cell Configuration

The machines are available in different tank volumes and layout arrangements to match varying capacity requirements and flotation flowsheets. Whether used in roughing, scavenging, or cleaning circuits, this flexibility allows the flotation system to be configured more precisely according to process targets and plant design.

Reliable Mechanical Structure

Built for continuous operation in mineral processing plants, the machines feature a durable mechanical structure and stable transmission system to ensure dependable long-term performance. This helps reduce unplanned downtime, lowers maintenance demand, and improves overall plant operating stability.

GF, XCF, and SF — Designed for Different Flotation Duties

GF Flotation Machine

The GF flotation machine is a self-aspirating, self-pulp-suction mechanical flotation machine. Rotation of the impeller creates negative pressure to draw in both air and slurry while providing effective slurry agitation, circulation and air dispersion. The machine features effective slurry circulation, a stable pulp surface and flexible flowsheet arrangement. It is suitable for roughing, cleaning and scavenging duties involving metallic and non-metallic minerals, particularly in small- and medium-scale mineral processing plants.

XCF Flotation Machine

The XCF flotation machine is a forced-air, self-pulp-suction mechanical flotation machine. Flotation air is supplied by an external blower, while the agitation mechanism circulates the slurry and promotes effective air–slurry mixing and dispersion. The XCF can be used as a suction cell in combination with KYF direct-flow cells, enabling a horizontal equipment arrangement. Its pulp-suction capability allows it to draw in feed or middlings, reducing the need for auxiliary pumping equipment. It is suitable for roughing and scavenging duties in medium- and large-scale mineral processing plants.

SF Flotation Machine

The SF flotation machine is a self-aspirating, self-pulp-suction mechanical flotation machine. Each cell performs air aspiration, pulp suction and flotation functions, allowing it to operate as part of an independent flotation circuit. Its impeller design generates upward and downward slurry circulation, helping maintain particles in suspension and reduce solids accumulation at the bottom of the cell. The machine can be arranged horizontally for flexible flowsheet layout and adjustment. It is suitable for roughing, cleaning and scavenging duties involving a wide range of metallic and non-metallic minerals.
