METSO OUTOTEC LAUNCHES CONCORDE CELL FLOTATION TECHNOLOGY

Metso Outotec Launches Concorde Cell Flotation Technology

Metso Outotec is launching Concorde Cell flotation technology for efficient fine and ultrafine particle recovery.

This Planet Positive technology sets a new benchmark in high-intensity pneumatic flotation, reducing plant operation costs and contributing to sustainability of operations through minimized energy and water consumption per tons of metal produced, according to the company.

The Metso Outotec Concorde Cell technology is the first fine and ultra-fine flotation solution for more finely disseminated and complex orebodies that have previously been inaccessible.

“The need to process more finely disseminated and complex ore grades, as well as the declining ore grades and the demand for improved flotation selectivity, all bring new challenges to minerals processing flowsheets. The new Concorde Cell technology helps flotation circuits overcome these challenges and recover the previously unachievable ore value,” said Antti Rinne, vice president, flotation at Metso Outotec.

The Concorde Cell forced-air Blast Tubes treat 100 percent of fresh feed combined with tailings recycling for improved performance, allowing finer grinding to get extra liberation without the risk of valuable particles lost into tailings.

“Combining the well-proven TankCell technology with Concorde Cells is a low-risk and high-benefit approach for minerals processing flowsheets. The cell produces very high shear and extremely fine bubbles, which increases recovery in particles under 20 microns,” explained Rinne.

Benefits of the Concorde Cell flotation technology:

• Superior recovery of fine and ultra-fine particles • Very high shear environment with increased bubble surface area flux for faster flotation kinetics

• Optimized froth recovery and improved selectivity • Forced air allowing wider process control and stability for further flotation optimization

The offering also includes Blast Tube retrofit kits for upgrading the metallurgical performance of self-aspirated pneumatic flotation cells to the Concorde Cell technology. In addition, Metso Outotec can provide a complete slurry handling package for the Concorde Cell, including pumps, spare parts, as well as optimization and maintenance services.

DEMOLITION from page 32

working at height, the UHD front is work tool camera ready.

The demolition cab is equipped with Falling Object Guard Structure (FOGS), and front and roof P5A, 0.4 in. laminated glass for safety. The windshield and roof glass feature one-piece parallel wipers with three intermittent settings with washer spray. Standard rearview and sideview cameras provide enhanced visibility of the operating area on the in-cab monitor. A 360-degree bird’s eye camera system is optional.

Simplified Maintenance

Maintenance intervals are extended and more synchronized on the Cat 340 UHD Excavator to lower operating costs and reduce service time. Offering a 50 percent longer service life, the new hydraulic filter improves filtration and features a 3,000-hour change interval while anti-drain valves keep the oil clean during filter replacement. The engine air intake filter with pre-cleaner delivers double the dust holding capacity of the previous design.

Grouped on the right-hand side of the machine, all fuel filters change at a synchronized 1,000-hour interval. Operators conveniently track filter life and maintenance intervals on the new in-cab monitor.

A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine and shuts down the machine, improving safety while servicing. The machine’s new flat engine hood improves rear visibility and incorporates a wide opening design for simplified servicing and oil level checking. All other daily maintenance routine checkpoints are easily accessible from ground level as is the location for draining fuel system water and fuel tank water to help save time. To efficiently collect fluid samples for analysis, all Cat S·O·S ports are conveniently accessed from ground level.

Technology Increases

Management Efficiency

Beyond Cat payload, the new 340 UHD with the single retrofit boom is equipped with a host of Cat technologies designed to drive productivity and service efficiency. Cat E-fence and Cat Grade with 2D automatically guides depth, slope and horizontal distance to grade through the touchscreen monitor to boost machine productivity. The machine automatically compensates for excavator pitch and roll caused by sloping ground conditions through use of GPS and GLONASS systems.

Standard Cat Product Link captures critical machine operating data and condition and reports this data to field managers and the office via VisionLink, boosting fleet management efficiency. Remote Troubleshoot analyzes real-time machine data captured by Product Link for diagnostics without impacting machine productivity and saving a service trip to the jobsite. Remote Flash conveniently assures the 340 UHD is working with the most current version of on-board software by updating around the machine’s production schedule.
