WEMCO Flotation

FLSmidth WEMCO flotation machines are the world's most widely installed flotation equipment. The unique 1+1 mechanism design maximizes bubble-particle attachment while minimizing energy consumption. Available in cell volumes from 5 m³ to 600 m³, WEMCO machines handle roughing, scavenging and cleaning operations. Anranst provides rotor-stator assemblies and impeller components in Cr20 high-chrome iron and elastomer options.
