XFD Single Cell Lab Flotation Machine 0.5-3.0L Copper Zinc Lead Gold Separation Test Equipment
The XFD single cell laboratory flotation machine is a compact test unit for studying the floatability of copper, zinc, lead, gold and other ores before a flowsheet is fixed. With tank volumes from 0.5 L to 3.0 L, it lets the mineral processing laboratory run batch rougher, cleaner and scavenger tests on small ore charges and compare reagent schemes quickly.
Motor-driven impeller rotation creates centrifugal force and negative pressure in the cell, simultaneously aerating the slurry, mixing the reagents and refining the bubbles. The machine therefore builds its own flotation circuit without auxiliary blowers or pumps.

- Self-Forming Flotation Circuit: the triple functions of air suction, slurry suction and flotation are combined without auxiliary equipment.
- Copper Zinc Lead Gold Separation: separates non-ferrous metals and processes ferrous metals and non-metals in batch tests.
- Large Air Intake: delivers high flotation efficiency with low power consumption.
- Reasonable Slurry Circulation: the flow pattern minimizes coarse sand precipitation in the cell bottom.
- Easy Process Changes: the horizontal configuration makes it convenient to adjust impeller position, air and reagents between tests.
- Backward Tilting Impeller Blades: upper and lower blades ensure stable slurry flow and consistent bubble-particle contact.

The impeller rotates below the slurry surface and draws air down the standpipe. Air, slurry and reagents are mixed in the impeller zone, and the bubbles rise through the pulp carrying hydrophobic mineral particles to the froth layer, where the scraper removes the concentrate. Gangue minerals remain in the cell and are discharged at the end of the test, giving a clean mass balance for each experimental condition.
