October 29, 2013 - FloLevel Technologies introduces a self-cleaning acoustic level and flow analyser for Flotation Cells. The sensor measures Pulp/Slurry interface and Froth height, as well as Froth Density and Froth Flow Rate, to provide valuable process feedback to the control system. The accuracy of the FloLevel system will optimize the mineral recovery in Flotation Cells and significantly cut costs for the mining industry. The FloLevel Array transducers are not affected by color, density, dielectric, or by the type of mineral they are recovering. They are self-cleaning and self-checking.
The transducers emit extremely high-powered acoustic sound pulses independently into the Flotation Cell at low audible levels. The pulse amplitude is great enough to cause a phenomenon called "rarefaction," which causes cavitation to be produced from the array transducer diaphragms as they pulse. The cavitation bubbles oscillate in front of the diaphragm, which cause implosions that generate high energy levels. The system is easy to install from the top of the Flotation Cell and easy to calibrate. It comes with adjustable 316SS bracket, with flange mounting options and a colour display controller mounted in a stainless steel enclosure.
They can measure all types of Flotation Cell, with depths greater than 6000 mm (236") and the resolution accuracy options available are 2mm (0,08"), 15mm (0.6"), 25mm (1.00"). Various output capability options are available, like 4 x 4-20Ma, Modbus, ProfiBus, Foundation FieldBus, DeviceNet, and Ethernet. The FloLevel Array is suitable for all mineral recovery, eg: Copper, Molybdenum, Gold, Silver, Lead, Nickel, Iron Ore, Coal, Potash, Oil Sands, Zinc, Gypsum, etc.
