Progressive Cavity Pumps for Flotation Reagents & Mining Chemicals

Controlled positive-displacement feed for selected flotation reagents, polymers and viscous mining-process chemicals.

Mining Chemical Feed

Repeatable dosing for demanding reagents

Flotation circuits use reagents whose feed rates may need to track ore characteristics and process conditions. Progressive cavity pumps can provide repeatable positive-displacement delivery for selected viscous or shear-sensitive reagents when the pump, drive and materials are matched to the actual chemical.

PolymersSelected viscous and shear-sensitive solutions
Variable speedFeed adjustment with process demand
PressurePositive displacement into process lines
Selection Framework

Define the chemical and complete dosing range

Selection should include minimum and maximum flow, injection pressure, chemical concentration, viscosity and temperature. Rotor, stator, seal and wetted-metal compatibility should be checked against the actual formulation and cleaning fluids.
