Flotation is a difficult process to run efficiently. One way to make flotation performance better is to improve cell level control. However, controlling pulp levels in flotation cells is a complex control task because of strong interactions between the levels in flotation cells. Therefore advanced controllers are needed to give good level control.

RCS cells use 's patented Deep Vane (DV) mechanism to float various minerals and are available in volumes from 0.8 m 3 to 600 m 3. These are complemented by the ...
In principle, the cell functions as a shallow flotation cell. As the air and pulp are hydrau-lically lifted to the top of the pulp recircula-tion well, the mineral laden air bubble has only to travel a short distance on its own to the froth overflow level. Above are illustrations of three flotation cells. 14.2 m3 (500 cu.ft) cell 2.8 m3 (100 cu ...
