PNEUFLOT
This innovative and exceptionally efficient machine is the propriety item of MBE which caters to the flotation process required to enrich lean grade ores and coking coal thus ensuring maximum recovery of the depleting resources. The PNEUFLOT® cells are characterized from other flotation machines present in the market by its self aeration technology (no need of blower) and absence of any movable parts. PNEUFLOT® has considerable advantages over other new flotation machines due to its compact size, absence of any rotating wear parts, controlled and uniform bubble size, high throughput et al.
Salient features of PNEUFLOT®:
• Better recovery and higher yield due to optimal particle bubble contact
• Higher selectivity with optimal control of air
• No re- sliming due to less shear force
• Control of bubble size possible
• Less wear due to absence of agitator
• Low energy consumption
• No compressed air due to its self aerating technology
• Small footprint
• Optimal froth control with adjustable goose- neck design
• Robust design
