FX Series Laboratory Flotation Machine
FX Series Laboratory Flotation Machine is a professional mineral testing equipment designed for flotation experiments, beneficiation research, and small-scale continuous flotation tests. With mechanical agitation and stable aeration performance, this flotation cell helps laboratories and mining companies evaluate flotation reagents, optimize beneficiation processes, and improve mineral recovery. Available in multiple capacities from 1.5L to 39L, FX flotation machines can be customized according to different testing requirements.
Key Features
- Continuous Flotation Operation: Designed for continuous flotation tests, allowing simulation of industrial flotation processes in laboratory conditions.
- Suitable for Various Minerals: Applicable for flotation research of metallic and non-metallic minerals, including copper, lead-zinc, iron ore, fluorite, tungsten, and other minerals.
- Stable Flotation Performance: Uniform slurry mixing and reliable aeration improve experimental repeatability.
- Multiple Capacity Options: Available from 1.5L to 39L for different laboratory testing requirements.
- Industrial Process Simulation: Supports roughing, cleaning, and scavenging flotation experiments.
- Customized Configuration: Cell number and flotation setup can be adjusted according to customer needs.
Working Principle
The FX Series flotation machine uses a mechanical agitation system to mix ore slurry and flotation reagents evenly. During operation, the impeller rotates at high speed to generate negative pressure, introducing air into the slurry. Mineral particles selectively attach to bubbles and rise to form froth, while gangue minerals remain in the slurry and are discharged separately. By controlling agitation speed, aeration, reagent dosage, and flotation time, researchers can evaluate mineral separation performance and optimize flotation processes.
Applications
- Mineral beneficiation laboratory testing
- Ore flotation process research
- Mining university teaching experiments
- Flotation reagent evaluation
- Pilot-scale flotation testing
