Productive froth flotation technology

Results show that our flotation machines operate on exceptional grade recovery curves, with respect to coarse and fine particle recovery. The remarkable performance of our machines is related to flotation-favourable hydrodynamics, which produce higher active cell volumes, provide longer residence times, and complement froth removal.

End Mill Sizes [Chart]

Knowing the standard end mill sizes is important for choosing the right tool for creating those parts.
