Maximizing the sustainable recovery of minerals has become a critical success factor at a time when the efficient recovery from less rich ores, aging or secondary deposits is one of the mining industry’s key challenges. TAKRAF Group, with its DELKOR brand for liquid/solid separation and beneficiation equipment, has developed new generation BQR flotation cells with proprietary MAXGen mechanism for best-in-class metallurgical performance.

The MAXGen mechanism achieves improved recoveries with higher mineral grade along with faster flotation kinetics by generating favorable bubble size distribution and energy efficient hydrodynamics. The Source: TAKRAF Groupdistinctive configuration of rotor and stator enables the rotor to operate at a lower tip speed, resulting in reduced operational cost, power consumption and wear.

DELKOR BQR MAXGen flotation cell includes features designed to address many practical challenges when improving installation, maintenance and operation of flotation circuits, particularly in existing concentrators. For example, the “bypass ready tank design” supports installation and upgrade operations with cell bypass systems at any stage of the project without compromising the original layout and without any modification to the tank shell. This flexibility makes adjustments faster and less costly, enabling operators to maintain the best flotation bank set up over time.

The new flotation cell also incorporates deeper launders with higher slope to assist the froth to evacuate quickly. The launders can also be customized with various options of external, internal and radial launders to suit specific froth transport parameters based on the application.
