Outotec TankCell® e500 A big addition to Outotec TankCell® Flotation portfolio Outotec TankCell flotation machines meet all the requirements set for superior flotation performance – Proven metallurgy, easy operation and maintenance, and low power consumption. The cylindrical TankCell flotation machines excel in performance in all duties in rougher, scavenger, and cleaner circuits. Flexible design of TankCell product family enables tailoring of the equipment for all applications.

Benefits 

Lower equipment cost



Smaller plant footprint



Less auxiliary equipment



Lower energy consumption



Smaller number of equipment

→ lower CO2 emissions → savings in maintenance

The TankCell family offers the widest size range on the market from 5 m³ to 500 m³ and the symmetrical design allows a flexible layout. The new large TankCell e500 has been scaled up from smaller TankCells by using the same rules that made the previous world’s largest flotation machine TankCell e300 an immediate success. The Outotec TankCell e500 has been targeted for projects with high material throughputs where the number of cells needed for operation with smaller equipment becomes big. Typical applications for TankCell e500 are large copper and gold operations.



Lower carbon footprint for manufacturing and transport

power draw. Fine tuned rotor shape provides maximum lifetime. The new FloatForce stator design has been optimized for critical flow area and design allows easy maintenance. Direct gearbox drive for optimum efficiency The TankCell e500 is equipped with Outotec’s direct gearbox drive that enables reliable operation and easy maintenance. Direct gearbox drive design allows operation with standard four pole flange motors without separate belt drive or need for external cooling systems.

Larger TankCell equals lower capital costs and lower operational costs

TankCell e500 features FloatForce® mixing technology The patented and proven Outotec FloatForce® mixing technology enables superior flotation performance with new rotor and stator design. The new FloatForce rotor with separated areas for pumping and air dispersion guarantees efficient pumping even with the highest air feed rates enabling maximum performance with low Outotec TankCell® e500

Unique Froth Launder design Large flows and large volumes produce a lot of froth. The unique internal double launder design of the TankCell e500 provides enough froth lip length with minimized froth transport distance and enables an easy tailoring for every process need. FlowBooster™ – The auxiliary impeller for a flotation machine The Outotec FlowBooster can also be installed to TankCell e500 for processes that require extra pumping. FlowBooster increases mixing in the cell significantly with only small increase in power draw. Internal dart valve and level control design The Outotec TankCell e500 internal dart valve design allows flexible installation of 1-3 valves to enable optimized level control for all applications. Long stroke actuators guarantee exact control and simple design of the valve arrangement inside the tank enables easy maintenance. State-of-the-art Outotec EIT pulp level measurement system All Outotec TankCell flotation machines can now be equipped with new Outotec EIT (electron impedance tomography) level measurement system that provides exact measurement in all process conditions without moving parts.
