Eriez Showcases Cutting-Edge StackCell Flotation Technology

Eriez, a global leader in separation technologies, has launched an educational video that highlights its innovative StackCell high-intensity flotation technology. This animated presentation illustrates the advantages of StackCell in enhancing mineral recovery, showcasing features such as rapid flotation kinetics, fine bubble generation, and a compact system design.

The video employs 3D cutaways and process flow graphics to explain the StackCell system’s functionality. Viewers can observe how slurry enters each stage, experiencing intense mixing with microbubbles that promote quick attachment of bubbles to particles. This process is crucial for maximizing mineral recovery.

Understanding the StackCell Advantage

One of the key highlights of the animation is the two-stage configuration of StackCell, which separates high-energy particle collection from froth recovery. This design leads to faster flotation processes and higher-grade concentrates, all while occupying a smaller physical footprint.

Homie Thanasekaran, senior global product manager of flotation at Eriez, emphasized the importance of optimizing flotation performance, especially when dealing with fine or low-grade ores. “This animation provides an engaging way to understand StackCell’s core advantages and its potential to enhance both efficiency and sustainability across mineral processing circuits,” he stated.

The StackCell technology utilizes a high-shear chamber to produce fine bubbles, approximately 100 microns in diameter. This feature significantly enhances bubble-particle interaction, improving the recovery of ultrafine minerals. The design not only minimizes circuit size and power consumption but also achieves comparable or superior results in about one-third of the time required by traditional flotation cells.

Integration and Benefits

StackCell units can be seamlessly integrated into both new and existing operations. This adaptability allows for increased throughput, enhanced recovery rates, and overall improved plant performance while simultaneously reducing operational costs.
