Wemco rougher flotation cells rotor engagement
All cell is in same row engagements were different and varying from 115 to 145 mm. We're planning to measure the air flow of each cell using a hand anemometer and see any correlation with engagement. The most difficult thing is to correlate engagement and recovery as all cells conditions and performance are different.

Flotation Machine Upsizing Method and Technology | SpringerLink
Flotation is a complex physicochemical reaction process involving the three phases of gas, liquid and solid. The scale-up process of the flotation machine does not mean to increase geometric dimensions of key components (such as the tank cell, rotor and stator) of the flotation machine simply in proportion, but it requires the full consideration …

Flotation Machine
Probably the most significant area of change in mechanical flotation machine design has been the dramatic increase in machine size. This is typified by the data of Fig. 8, which shows the increase in machine (cell) volume size that has occurred with a commonly used cell manufactured by Wemco.The idea behind this approach is that as machine size …

Flotation Froth
The froth flotation technique was originally developed in about 1910 to raise the copper concentrations of the strip-mined ores of Bingham Canyon, near Salt Lake City [9], and was further perfected for the differential separation of lead, zinc, and iron sulfides at Trail, B.C., at about the same time [10].

Analysis of key mixing parameters in industrial Wemco mechanical
RTD studies were performed in three industrial Wemco mechanical flotation cells of different size, as shown in Table 1. It is interesting to note that the impeller diameter in these cells is higher than standard for Wemco 1+1 cells. The #144 cell has a #164 impeller diameter and so on.
