The difference between mechanical flotation machine and pneumatic flotation machine

date icon August.09,2023

The flotation method has a wide range of applications, and it is mostly used to deal with refractory tailings in tailings reselection. Commonly used flotation equipment is mainly two types: mechanical agitation flotation machine and inflatable agitation flotation machine.

1. Mechanical stirring flotation machine

The mechanical agitation flotation machine uses a mechanical agitator to aerate and stir the pulp, and belongs to the air self-priming flotation machine. In addition, it can self-prime the slurry, and does not need an external special fan to inflate the slurry. In the tailings re-election process, the return of intermediate products generally does not require sand pumping, so this type of flotation machine shows obvious advantages and flexibility in process configuration.

Mechanical Stirring Flotation Machine

Generally, mechanical agitation flotation machines mainly include SF type flotation machines, JJF type flotation machines and BF type flotation machines. Among them, SF type flotation machine and JJF type flotation machine are mostly suitable for roughing and sweeping operations in small and medium tailings re-concentration plants; BF type flotation machines are mostly suitable for roughing and Featured assignments.

2. Inflatable stirring flotation machine

Compared with the mechanical agitation flotation machine, the inflatable agitation flotation machine is an external air supply type flotation machine. The agitator only plays a stirring role, and the air needs to be forced in by an external special fan, and the intermediate product needs to be Pumped through the pump. However, this type of flotation machine can be adjusted according to the flotation needs at best, and it is not easy to produce muddy phenomenon when dealing with brittle tailings, low power consumption, and long service life.

Inflatable Stirring Flotation Machine

Inflatable stirring flotation machines mainly include KYF flotation machines and XCF flotation machines, which are suitable for the separation of various metal and non-metal tailings. Among them, the KYF type flotation machine is mostly suitable for roughing and beneficiation operations in large and medium-sized tailings reprocessing plants; XCF type flotation machines are suitable for roughing and sweeping operations in large and medium-sized tailings reprocessing plants.
