XCF KYF II Flotation Cell For Mineral Processing With 1-160m³ Volume
XCF KYF II Flotation Cell for Mineral Processing Plants
Product Overview
XCF/KYF II Flotation Machine is an pneumatic mechanical agitation flotation machine designed for roughing and cleaning operations in medium to large mineral processing plants.
The series includes XCF II and KYF II flotation machines. The XCF type features suction capability, while the KYF type does not. When used together, XCF can serve as the first flotation cell, with KYF units installed in subsequent cells.
This combination configuration allows flotation cells to be arranged horizontally and eliminates the need for foam reflux pumps between connected flotation cells.
The machine is suitable for flotation of non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, and non-metallic minerals. Applicable feed particle size is approximately 0.3-0.01 mm, with particles smaller than 0.074 mm accounting for over 50%.
Key Features
- XCF and KYF Combination Configuration: Can be combined according to different flotation process requirements
- XCF Suction Capability: Features suction capability and can be used as the first flotation cell in combined flotation circuits
- KYF Flotation Machine: No suction capability, can be arranged after XCF flotation machines
- Flexible Flotation Circuit: When used together, machines can be horizontally arranged, helping to simplify flotation circuits
- Wide Volume Range: Effective volume range of 1 m³ to 160 m³
- Extensive Mineral Applications: Suitable for flotation of non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, and non-metallic minerals
Working Principle
XCF/KYF II Flotation Machine utilizes mechanical agitation and aeration to create the required flotation environment.
During operation, the impeller rotates within the flotation tank, agitating the pulp while mixing air into it. Hydrophobic mineral particles attach to air bubbles and rise to the pulp surface to form mineralized foam. The foam is collected as concentrate, while the remaining pulp continues to circulate in the flotation circuit.
XCF + KYF Configuration
XCF → KYF → KYF → KYF
- XCF: Features suction capability
- KYF: No suction capability
- XCF can be used as the first flotation cell
- KYF can be used in subsequent flotation cells
- Combination configuration allows horizontal arrangement
- Foam reflux between adjacent cells can be achieved without foam reflux pumps
When KYF flotation machines are used independently, flotation cells are arranged in a stepped configuration according to process requirements.
