teams.
Benefits
• Optimized technology, leading to higher
recoveries
• Improved control system (accommodating
fluctuations in feed grade and throughput)
• Low maintenance and no flotation cell
downtime since installation
• Major energy savings (40%)
The FloatForce mechanism maximizes bubble and particle
contact in the shear zone between the rotor and stator.
