what is it
Deluxe Flotation Pilot Plant
Popular Models: 911MPE-PF842 small Flotation Pilot Plant.
Capacity: 13 kilos/hour (200 grams/minute)
Description
The flotation pilot plant is a complete small mini flotation unit, ideal for in-house pilot testing in mining projects. The layout of the unit is designed for single metal flow (each additional metal requires the purchase of a separate section) and has flexible operating settings.

Advantages
Small design for easy use in a laboratory or small scale pilot environment.
Variable agitator speed, with three settings to suit different testing needs.
The flotation cell has two rotation settings for the agitator and scraper, increasing operational flexibility.
Equipped with a variety of containers and pumps to meet the flotation needs of different stages.
Principle
The total weight of the unit is 160 kg and includes the following components:
20 liter flotation feed conditioning box for storing mill product.
8 rougher/scavenger flotation cells, each with a capacity of 1 liter.
5 liter conditioning and mixing box.
4 first stage cleaning cells, each with a capacity of 0.75 liter.
5 liter conditioning container.
2 second stage cleaning cells, each with a capacity of 0.5 liter.
Micro-dosage pump and concentrate/slurry flow pump.
Under assumed flotation density of 35% and 2.8 specific gravity test ore feed conditions, the equipment provides approximately 25 minutes of conditioning time and 15 minutes of rougher flotation time, operating at a rate of 13 kg per hour (200 g per minute).
