Flotation

Flotation systems are widely used in mining, mineral processing, and recycling industries. Rotors and stators ensure the balanced mixing of air and water, facilitating the effective separation of minerals. These components play a critical role in the efficiency and longevity of the system.

When Should Rotors and Stators Be Replaced?


Over time, rotors and stators wear out, affecting flotation performance. Replacement is necessary in the following cases:

  • If performance declines and adjustments do not improve efficiency, the rotor and stator may no longer function optimally and should be replaced.
  • If corrosion or wear is detected, structural integrity may be compromised, leading to reduced efficiency.
  • If metal fatigue or physical deformation occurs, the rotor and stator may fail to provide sufficient stability, negatively impacting the flotation process.

Choosing the Right Rotor and Stator


Selecting the right materials is crucial for maximizing flotation efficiency. Consider the following factors:

  • Chemical Resistance: The material should withstand the acidic or alkaline nature of the processed ore.
  • Wear Resistance: Harder ores require more durable materials.
  • Machine Compatibility: The rotor and stator must be fully compatible with the flotation machine model.

Advantages of Polyurethane Rotors and Stators


Compared to traditional metal or rubber rotors and stators, polyurethane options offer several benefits:

  • Longer Lifespan – More resistant to wear and abrasion.
  • High Chemical Resistance – Performs well in acidic and alkaline environments.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs – Requires less frequent replacements, reducing operational expenses.
  • Customizable Designs – Can be tailored to meet specific operational needs.
