Magotteaux flotation cell

This laboratory based flotation machine works in conjunction with the Magotteaux Mill in producing the most accurate test results to date.

By using the Magotteaux Mill and flotation machine, the researcher is now able to generate a product in the laboratory that has nominally the same physical properties and pulp chemical properties as an equivalent sample taken from the plant.

Name: Magotteaux floation cell.

Industry: Mining.

Key Benefits:

• The agitator is bottom driven, which allows the operator to remove froth from the entire surface area of the float cell. In addition to being easier to use, this feature also removes some of the problem of operator error, meaning tests are more reproducible.
• Probes remain in the pulp the entire time, allowing the user to continuously monitor pulp chemistry, and add chemicals at any stage.

This unique capability of being able to measure and monitor the pulp chemical conditions during grinding is the key to understanding and improving the impact of particle preparation on flotation performance.
