Achieve maximum ore recovery with Spencer's unique engineering edge Whether the ore being mined is a ferrous or non-ferrous metal such as copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, silver, zinc, gold or tin, the air in the flotation cell needs to move at the right velocity and pressure to maximize recovery. The source of this crucial air movement is the

SF Flotation Cell/Machine Working Principle When the rotor is rotating, an internal vacuum is created both in the upper and lower blade zone. Ambient air is drawn through an air intake pipe and standpipe by the action of the upper blade, the bubbles are then micronized and make the minerals easier to stick on the bubbles.
