Impeller & Diffuser Geometry
Abrasive wear on impeller and diffuser edges enlarges bubble diameter and reduces mineral concentrate recovery. SMAT Minerals supplies replacement components with steel skeletal cores coated in reagent-resistant polyurethane or natural rubber.
| Feature | SMAT Specification |
|---|---|
| Impeller Geometry | Dispersion blades with hydrodynamic shear angles optimized for fine bubble generation |
| Diffuser / Stator | Surrounding diffuser hood with radial stabilizing baffles |
| Lining Elastomers | Molded Polyurethane or 60-65 Shore A Natural Rubber |
| Compatibility | Dimensional interchangeability for 50 to 300 ft³ flotation cell mechanisms and conditioners |
| Hydrodynamic Shear Invariant (Sb) | Maintains blade tip shear radius for Sb = 6 Jg / d32 ≥ 55 s-1 without micro-bubble coalescence |
METALLURGICAL DECISION CRITERIA • ROLES.JSON
Rotor, Stator & Shaft Selection Matrix (Compatible con bancos de 50 a 300 ft³)
Required Slurry Variables Cell volume (50 to 300 ft3), rotor angular tip speed (RPM), motor installed power, and collector/frother chemistry.
Elastomer & Shaft Rule High-modulus molded rubber rotor and stator disperser over steel cores. Quenched and tempered alloy shaft with double spherical bearings.
Metallurgical Risk Mitigated Prevents drop in air dispersion, short-circuiting, and metallurgical recovery losses from worn disperser fingers.
