Forced air wear parts

Our genuine forced-air flotation wear parts are designed for long life and maximum performance. Key wear parts include:

  • Rotors 
  • Stators 
  • Stator base plates 
  • Rotor drive shafts 
  • V-belts and pulleys 
  • BHSA (bearing housing and shaft assemblies) 
  • Drive assembly maintenance platforms 
  • Radial launders 
  • Dart valve actuators 
  • Pulp level control transmitters

Of particular significance is the nextSTEP™ Rotor/Stator, which is interchangeable with existing FLS forced-air flotation mechanisms and enables you to reduce power consumption by 15 – 40% and improve material recovery by up to 5%.

Optimising efficiency with flotation wear components

Choosing the best wear parts for your flotation circuit has multiple environmental benefits. First, longer lasting wear parts reduce waste. Second, wear parts that improve the performance of your flotation cell – such as the nextSTEP rotor/stator - reduce energy consumption and thus improve the carbon footprint of your process. Finally, more effective flotation creates a more sustainable downstream process by improving the efficiency of material recovery and reducing water waste.
