Self-Aspirating Flotation Cell for Blower-Free Operation
Runs without an air blower — simpler circuits and lower auxiliary power.
The Self-Aspirating Flotation Cell for Blower-Free Operation is a 5 m³ mechanical cell that draws its own air. With no external blower, the circuit is simpler to build and run, and the auxiliary power normally spent on air supply is saved — an attractive combination for smaller plants and modular circuits.
Key Advantages
- Self-aspirating design — no air blower required
- Simpler circuit with less piping and fewer auxiliaries
- Lower auxiliary power than forced-air designs
- 5 m³ cell with an 11 kW motor and 270 r/min rotor
- Wear-resistant polyurethane wear parts
Working Principle
The rotating impeller creates a vacuum at its centre that draws air down the standpipe, where it mixes with pulp and is dispersed into fine bubbles for mineral attachment.
Applications
- Small and modular flotation plants
- Gold, copper and lead-zinc circuits
- Remote sites where simplicity matters
- Pilot and expansion cells
Why Choose This Unit
Removing the blower cuts cost, piping and points of failure — useful where plants are small or remote. This 5 m³ cell is built by Y&X to ISO9001 standards with custom options available.
Packing & Delivery
Standard export packing, or customized packing as your request. Lead time is 15–30 working days; payment by L/C or T/T; minimum order quantity 1 set.
