FloatForce+ is a plug-and-play solution that maximizes metallurgical recovery, boosts pumping efficiency, and reduces energy consumption, helping customers recover valuable materials and increase revenue.

While FloatForce was launched in 2006, recent R&D breakthroughs have unveiled new ways to further enhance performance and sustainability.

“The FloatForce+ is designed for seamless plug-and-play installation with existing FloatForce configurations. It’s also compatible with other mixing mechanisms, needing only minimal modifications for integration,” said Christian Cardoso, product manager, Mechanical Flotation Services at Metso.

Flotation technology has played a pivotal role in Metso’s history for over five decades.

"Metso’s new flotation mixing mechanism marks the latest advancement in our ongoing journey of flotation innovation and represents a major milestone in our Planet Positive initiatives," said Antti Rinne, VP, Flotation at Metso.

Metso’s developments in flotation cell technology enable upgrading and retrofitting of older flotation equipment for enhanced performance. This upgrade aligns with the company’s sustainability goals by optimizing manufacturing materials and integrates seamlessly with digital solutions, enabling customers to track energy consumption, recoveries, and maintenance planning.

Metso’s innovative Floatforce+ solution will be featured at MINExpo 2024, in Las Vegas, USA from 24–26 September 2024.
