Key benefits of flotation wear components

  • OEM quality engineering extends wear life

    Other suppliers might offer wear parts that look the same, but they can't offer the same quality as the OEM. FLSmidth flotation wear parts are engineered to the highest standards, which means no cutting corners. Discover maximum value from the long-term gains of better performance and reduced downtime.

  • Continuous innovation improves material recovery

    Our R&D efforts aren’t only expended in the direction of longer wear life. We’re also continually evaluating how our wear parts can improve performance and maximise material recovery. For example, our patented nextSTEP™ stator/rotor is the market-leading flotation mechanism to ensure the highest recovery rates, with superior fine and coarse particle recovery, lower power rates and longer wear life.

  • Expert technical support helps you meet performance targets

    Our expertise isn’t invested solely in developing flotation wear parts. We’re also at your service for maintenance support, performance analysis and optimisation. Our global network provides local technical support in every major mining region. Call on us to ensure you’re getting maximum performance from your flotation circuit.

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.
