TankCell® flotation

World’s best flotation performance

The industry-leading TankCell range provides the world’s best flotation performance and has the widest range of cell sizes on the market, from 5 to 630 m³.

Our cells provide superior performance across all duties in rougher, scavenger and cleaner circuits. Based on in-depth test work, we can design a tailor-made flotation circuit for your plant that will deliver optimized cell volume, froth carry rate and residence time.

Wide range of cell sizes

TankCell flotation units are built to last. For example, Metso rotors and stators are the most wear-resistant available.

The cells are easy to operate, low on power and air consumption, and allow for a modular layout.
The wide range of cell sizes up to 630 m³ enables a compact, economical, and efficient plant design without risk of short circuiting, even for today’s high-tonnage operations. Fewer units mean substantial savings in construction costs, piping, cables, instrumentation and auxiliary equipment.
