XCF-KYF Type Flotation Unit (Aerated Mechanical Stirring Type) Product Overview
XCF-KYF flotation unit is an energy efficient flotation solution for modern large-scale mineral processing plant, which consists of XCF (self-suction slurry) and KYF (DC feeding) flotation machine. The unit adopts innovative "U" shaped tank and large diameter low-speed conical impeller design, realizing a simple flow with horizontal configuration and no need for froth pumps. It has significant advantages such as large processing capacity, low energy consumption, low consumption of chemicals, easy operation and maintenance, etc., which makes it an ideal choice for roughing and sweeping operations in large-scale mineral processing plants.
Synergistic working principle of the unit
The XCF-KYF unit realizes efficient operation through the perfect cooperation of two types of tanks:
-
Slurry inhalation and start-up: XCF type flotation machine, as an inhalation tank, can self-absorb the slurry and foam from the previous stage by virtue of its unique impeller structure, without the need to configure a foam pump, so as to start the horizontal flow of the whole flotation circuit.
-
Aerating and sorting: KYF type flotation machine as a DC tank relies on low-pressure air supplied by an external blower, which is uniformly fed through the intermediate air disperser. The large-diameter cone impeller carries out strong agitation, generating a large number of micro-fine air bubbles to realize efficient separation of minerals.
-
Mineral slurry conveying: Mineral slurry flows naturally in the unit relying on the liquid level difference formed by the horizontal configuration, with smooth flow and extremely low energy consumption.
-
Foam collection: The mineralized foam is steadily scraped out by the scraper mechanism to obtain the concentrate product.
Product Core Advantages
| Structural design and flow advantages |
Performance and economic advantages |
| Original synergistic design: XCF self-priming and KYF DC complement each other's advantages, forming a high-efficiency pumpless circuit. |
Significant energy-saving effect: large-diameter, low-speed impeller design can save 30-50% energy compared with traditional flotation machines. |
| " U-shaped tank: good circulation of slurry, effectively preventing sand sedimentation and accumulation of ore. |
Low consumption of chemicals: excellent slurry circulation and air dispersion performance can save 10-15% of chemicals. |
| Horizontal configuration: simple flow, compact plant configuration, and low capital investment. |
Huge processing capacity: large single tank volume, especially suitable for modernized large-scale ore dressing plant. |
| High-efficiency impeller system: cone impeller + short blade rotor, strong mixing force, low wear and long life. |
High recovery rate: stable slurry level and uniform aeration ensure high separation recovery rate. |
| Foam pump free: XCF tank self-priming slurry, completely eliminating the high failure rate of the foam pump and its maintenance costs. |
Stable operation: high degree of automation, easy operation and control, very reliable operation. |

*Note: The parameters of KYF-type DC tank are usually matched with the same specification XCF tank in terms of impeller and power to ensure smooth flow. The power of scraper motor is usually 1.1-1.5kW, and the blower is an external supporting equipment, which needs to be selected separately according to the total filling volume of the unit, and the air pressure is required to be ≥ the value of the corresponding model of "blower air pressure". *Main Application Areas
