Air-Inflated Flotation Machine

Gas-Slurry Mixing

Low-pressure air enters through the hollow shaft. The rotating impeller disperses the air into micro-bubbles while mixing it thoroughly with the slurry.

Mineralization

Hydrophobic mineral particles attach to the bubbles. The "U" shaped tank design keeps coarse particles in suspension, preventing sedimentation.

Separation

Mineralized foam rises to the surface and is scraped out as concentrate. Tailings flow to the next cell or discharge box.

To save infrastructure costs (no step-wise foundation), we recommend the Horizontal Combined Unit:

• ✅ First Cell (Suction): Use XCF model. It sucks slurry from the feeding box or previous bank.
• ✅ Following Cells (Direct): Use KYF models. They receive slurry from the XCF via direct flow.
• 👉 Benefit: A flat floor installation without needing foam pumps in between cells.

Q: Do I need a foam pump between cells?

A: If you use the XCF+KYF combined unit horizontally, you generally don't need a foam pump for middlings return within the bank. However, pumping is needed between Rougher and Cleaner stages.

Q: What chemicals can be used?

A: It works with all standard flotation reagents like Xanthate (collector) and Pine Oil (frother). Our rubber liners are resistant to chemical corrosion.

Q: Can it process coarse particles?

A: Yes. The KYF series uses a U-shaped tank and strong bottom agitation, which prevents coarse sand from settling, making it suitable for coarser grind sizes.
