The flotation machine has a wide application range, and many industries need its help. In addition, the production today is developing towards large scale and mechanical production. Thus the improvement of beneficiation efficiency is very crucial for flotation machine.

In order to improve its flotation efficiency, first we should the suitable agent, because the ideal flotation effect can be achieved only by full mixing of ores and agent. We should pay special attention to the agent quantity and time it is used. Too much agent will reduce its flotation effect, so we should handle it well.

Besides, the flotation machine has many types and how to choose the suitable flotation machine to improve flotation efficiency. We should choose it carefully on the basis of ore nature, equipment performance, concentrator and other factors. Customers should pay attention to the following questions:

1. Ores Nature and Operation Requirements

Generally speaking, for the coarse ores or materials with large granularity, the high-intensity flotation method will be adopted to reduce the mineral particles' falling speed and deposition. So we should adopt high-performance flotation machine or mixed type flotation machine. This flotation machine has features like fast pulp transferring, strong mixing capability and convenient operation. During the sulfide flotation process, low speed inflation is beneficial for flotation effect.

2. Flow of Pulp

The suitable flotation machine choice should be based on the pulp flow. In order to guarantee the flotation effect, we should ensure that the pulp stays in the flotation cell for a certain period of time. Too short or too long time will damage the useful ore materials. So the flotation specification should be accordance with the scale of ore beneficiation enterprise.

3. Define Specification and Number

Compare the technology and economic index: conduct a comprehensive compare in the aspects like operation cost, operation management, maintenance cost with each other.
