Self-Aspirating Flotation Cell for Blower-Free Operation

The Self-Aspirating Flotation Cell for Blower-Free Operation is a 5 m³ mechanical cell that draws its own air. With no external blower, the circuit is simpler to build and run, and the auxiliary power normally spent on air supply is saved — an attractive combination for smaller plants and modular circuits.

Key Advantages

• Self-aspirating design — no air blower required
• Simpler circuit with less piping and fewer auxiliaries
• Lower auxiliary power than forced-air designs
• 5 m³ cell with an 11 kW motor and 270 r/min rotor
• Wear-resistant polyurethane wear parts

Working Principle

The rotating impeller creates a vacuum at its centre that draws air down the standpipe, where it mixes with pulp and is dispersed into fine bubbles for mineral attachment.

Applications

• Small and modular flotation plants
• Gold, copper and lead-zinc circuits
• Remote sites where simplicity matters
• Pilot and expansion cells

Why Choose This Unit

Removing the blower cuts cost, piping and points of failure — useful where plants are small or remote. This 5 m³ cell is built by Y&X to ISO9001 standards with custom options available.
