BF Flotation Cell

Product Overview

BF series flotation cell is a new type of self-priming mechanical stirring flotation machine developed based on SF type. It inherits the advantages of self-priming air and self-priming slurry, and can be arranged horizontally without foam pump.

The special impeller structure creates strong slurry circulation, with large air intake (up to 1.2 m³/m²·min), while power consumption is reduced by 15-30% compared to traditional models.

Widely used for roughing, scavenging and cleaning of non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, as well as ferrous metals and non-metallic minerals.

Working Principle

After agitation, negative pressure generated by the rotating impeller draws in air, which mixes thoroughly with the slurry in the tank to form numerous bubbles. Hydrophobic mineral particles attach to the bubbles and rise to the surface to form a froth layer, which is scraped out as concentrate, while hydrophilic gangue minerals remain in the tank and are discharged.

The BF flotation cell adopts a self-priming design that draws in both air and slurry without a foam pump, and can be arranged horizontally to simplify the process layout and reduce energy and maintenance costs.

FAQ

What is the difference between BF flotation cell and other flotation machines?

The BF flotation cell is a self-priming mechanical agitation machine that draws in air and slurry by itself without a foam pump, can be arranged horizontally for a more flexible layout, and consumes 15-30% less energy than traditional models.

Which minerals is the BF flotation cell suitable for?

It is suitable for roughing, scavenging and cleaning of non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel and molybdenum, as well as flotation recovery of ferrous and non-metallic minerals.

How do I determine the flotation cell size?

Calculate the total tank volume required based on ore throughput, pulp density and flotation time, then determine the model and number of cells by single-cell volume. Contact us for process calculation and configuration.

Can the flotation cell be arranged horizontally?

Yes. The BF flotation cell inherits the advantages of self-priming air and slurry, can be arranged horizontally without a foam pump, simplifying layout and equipment investment.
