Outotec sets new standards in superior flotation performance; aeration and mixing, froth manipulation and recovery – for every flotation task. Our flotation solutions are tailor-made for each customer, be it a question of flotation packages with support services, modular process sections or even whole concentrators. Every stage in the flotation circuit is customized, be it roughing, scavenging or cleaning.
With over 100 years of experience in proven and innovative flotation, the complete life cycle of the installation, starting from the very first mineralogical study through feasibility studies and simulations, is professionally covered. There is no compromise on quality.
Low operating and maintenance costs and high equipment reliability contribute to a rapid return on investment. The wide range of available cell sizes permits plant design to be compact, economical and efficient, without fear of short-circuiting, even for today's high tonnage operations. Fewer units lead to substantial savings in construction costs, piping, cables, instrumentation and auxiliary equipment
Outotec is the global market leader by installed capacity in flotation and, in the past ten years alone, over 10 000 Outotec flotation units have been installed around the world. Outotec TankCell® provides the world's fastest flotation kinetics (demonstrated in full-scale tests), offers optimized fines and coarse particle flotation and has the largest size range on the market. In 2007, Outotec launched the largest TankCell® in the world, TankCell® 300, with over 300m³ of active volume.
In 2012 The TankCell family offers the widest size range on the market from 5 m³ to 500 m³ and the symmetrical design allows a flexible layout.
The new large TankCell e500 has been scaled up from smaller TankCells by using the same rules that made the previous world's largest flotation machine TankCell e300 an immediate success.
The Outotec TankCell e500 has been designed for projects with high material throughputs where the number of cells needed for operation with smaller equipment becomes big. Typical applications being large copper and gold operations.
The TankCell e500 customers benefit from lower capital expenditures due to lower equipment costs, savings in plant footprint, less installation work with less auxiliary equipment, lower energy consumption, and less units per installation results in less components and spare parts and less maintenance.
With the TankCell e500 Outotec provides a solution to the market demand of increased capacity and volume, by offering its same well reputed technologies at larger capacity. This means less equipment is needed to do more work.
Outotec offers the widest range of flotation solutions to meet all application needs. Each flotation unit can be delivered complete with a customized package of our high-level automation and intelligent instruments.
