IntroductionSF Flotation Machine is a mechanical agitation, self-aerating flotation cell widely used in mineral processing. It is designed with a unique impeller featuring backward-inclined upper and lower blades, which enables it to simultaneously self-suck air and ore pulp, forming a closed flotation circuit without auxiliary equipment. It is recognized as an upgrade of the older XJK type, offering improved flotation performance
Applications
- Non-ferrous metals-Separating copper, lead, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, and other sulfide ores .
- Ferrous metals-Processing iron ore and other ferrous minerals .
- Precious metals-Recovering gold and other noble metals .
- Non-metallic minerals-Separating non-metallic minerals and industrial chemicals .
- Roughing, scavenging, and cleaning-Suitable for various flotation stages, especially coarse and scavenging operations in medium to large flotation plants
Features & Advantages
- Self-slurry suction & self-air suction-Can self-suck air and pulp, eliminating the need for auxiliary equipment, simplifying circuit configuration, and enabling horizontal layout .
- Double circulation of slurry-Impeller with backward-inclined blades ensures upper and lower double circulation, which effectively suspends coarse particles and reduces sand settling .
- High air suction capacity-Unique impeller structure creates strong negative pressure for efficient air intake and bubble dispersion .
- Low energy consumption-Optimized design reduces power usage; lower peripheral speed of impeller contributes to energy savings .
- Long service life of wear parts-Lower impeller circumferential speed and larger gap between impeller and cover plate reduce wear, prolonging the life of impeller and stator .
- Better flotation index-Compared to XJK type, it can improve concentrate grade by 4-6%, recovery rate by 8%, and production by 12% .
- Forward tank design-Features small dead zone and fast foam movement, beneficial for coarse particle flotation .
- Easy level control-Self-control device for pulp level simplifies operation and adjustment .
- Flexible circuit configuration-Often combined with JJF flotation machine to form a joint unit for optimized performance.
