Carbon Steel Tank
The Heavy-Duty Carbon Steel Tank comes with replaceable wear liners to deliver exceptional resistance to wear, abrasion, and impact.
Optional:
- Ceramic Tile Lining offers unmatched durability for extreme operating conditions.
Polypropylene Tank
OPTIONAL:
- The Polypropylene Tank option provides outstanding chemical resistance - ideal for high-pH slurry or flotation circuits using aggressive reagents such as frothers, collectors, and NaOH or H2SO4.
Precision-Design Froth Paddles
Westpro's Precision-Designed Froth Paddles are meticulously designed to gently guide froth toward the discharge lip, ensuring smooth flow and maximizing concentrate recovery through consistent, accurate, and uniform froth handling.
Overflow Launders
Optional:
- Single or Duel Overflow Launders are available for increased cell capacity and enhanced froth collection efficiency - supporting higher throughput and improved recovery.
Belt-Driven System
The Belt-Driven System offers efficient power transmission, reduced startup torque, and built-in shock absorption - providing the whole system with smooth operation and simplified maintenance routines to further reduce any downtime.
Drive Shafts & Standpipes
Robust Drive Shafts and Standpipes come available in your choice of Carbon Steel for increased abrasion-resistance or Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel for enhanced durability in chemically aggressive environments.
Urethane Wet Ends
Westpro's Urethane Wet Ends provide optimized air dispersion through the impeller (or rotor for those using Westpro's W19 flotation technology) for consistent bubble generation and ideal quiescent zones.
Dart Valves
Your choice of Standard Automatic or Manual Dart Valves maintain precise pulp levels, control inter-cell flow, and sand relief - to ensure stable operation and preventing any potential blockages.
Responsive Level Control System
The Responsive Level Control System maintains optimal operating conditions for your system - boosting recovery rates, stabilizing performance, and ensuring consistent product quality.
Automatic Air Flow Control
Optional:
- Westpro's Conventional Flotation Machine provide users with the option of Automatic Air Flow Control per each individual cell. This gives the systems even further successional process balancing.
