MDM Installation
Bateman BQR Flotation Cells installed at the RK1 Consortium concentrator.
The Bateman Flotation Cells achieve optimum operation through purpose
designed levels of solids suspension, air rate adjustment, easy froth-cone
positioning and a stable pulp-froth interface.
Easily adjustable
mechanism for height
and froth manipulation.
Complete removal of mechanism.

This range of round tank flotation cells achieve optimum operation through purpose-designed levels of solids suspension, air rate adjustment, easy froth-cone positioning and a stable pulp-froth interface.
The cells are used in roughing, scavenging, cleaning and re-cleaning, unit and pilot cell applications to process copper, zinc, platinum group metals, phosphates, graphite slag and effluents.
The number of cells required depends on the application. Cells feature an overhung stator, open inlet to the rotor, adjustable air flow rates and froth-cone settings and a launder external to the pulp zone to yield an excellent combination of process, operational and cost benefits.
Process advantages
-
High shear forces for better bubble-particle contact
-
Good balance between grade and recovery achieved through appropriate rotor and stator selection
-
The bubble surface area flux is easily optimised by
selecting the correct blower-rotor-stator combination
-
Easy process optimisation through air supply and froth cone adjustments
-
Efficient air distribution.
Operational advantages
-
Easy startup under load
-
Ideal froth conditions are maintained
-
Robust instrumentation achieves stable operation
-
Quiescent pulp-froth interface
-
Low downtime and easy maintenance
-
Spares readily available
-
Complete mechanism removable for workshop maintenance
Cost benefits
The Bateman flotation cells range in size from
0,5 m³ (BQR5) to 150 m³ (BQR1500)
