A new video from Eriez shows the assembly of the company’s StackCell SC-200 high-rate flotation machine in compressed time. The SC-200, the newest addition to the StackCell product line, is the highest capacity unit ever built by Eriez at nearly 300 m3 of equivalent conventional flotation capacity within a 65 m3 flotation cell.
The three-minute video begins with a cutaway illustration that offers a close-up look at various system components, including the feed slurry inlet, high-shear contacting chamber, tailings discharge, and wash water system. The video then takes the viewer onto the Eriez plant floor in Erie, Pennsylvania. Utilizing time-lapse videography, it shows the team assembling the SC-200 to ready it for shipment. Eriez Global Flotation Business Vice President Eric Bain Wasmund, Ph.D., says, “The StackCell is a breakthrough technology that provides a unique solution to many environmental and sustainability challenges for the mining and metals sector. Our company has worked diligently to develop and commercialize the StackCell technology, and this milestone establishes a new standard in the industry.”
