New nextSTEP^TM flaotation technology

FLSmidth launched its new nextSTEP^TM rotor/stator technology during the annual Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME) conference in Denver/USA. Used in forced-air flotation equipment, the patent-pending design of the nextSTEP^TM rotor/stator provides a “step change” in flotation metallurgical performance and energy efficiency (Fig.).  The nextSTEP^TM rotor/stator has a very low operating power and is characterized by improvements in attachment rates, stronger air dispersion, and improved pumping efficiency. FLSmidth has been field-testing the new nextSTEP^TM rotor/stator at several installations including the previously announced FLSmidth 600-series Supercell™ flotation site in Nevada, currently the largest operating flotation cell in the world. Not only for new installations, the nextSTEP^TM rotor/stator is designed to be interchangeable with existing FLSmidth forced-air flotation mechanisms. The technology can also be retrofitted into any existing forced-air flotation cell.
