Flotation Equipment

Pneumatic mechanical agitation flotation cell is also called air-forced mechanical agitation hybrid flotation cell. Air is fed by external force, and the mechanical agitator (rotor-stator group) only acts to stir, mix, and disperse air. The main features are accurate adjustment of aeration rate as needed, no need to generate negative pressure ...
