Key Benefits

  • Higher recovery
  • Lower energy consumption
  • Improved concentration grade

mixedRow Flotation System – Productivity through better design 

Your operation relies on its ability to produce high grade product as efficiently as possible. That’s why everything you do centers around improving productivity. That goal is also the focus of all our endeavors. We bring you sustainable productivity through products that are designed with you in mind.


The mixedROW Flotation System combines the individual benefits of nextSTEP™ flotation cells and WEMCO® flotation cells to deliver incredible results and a technologically advanced flotation solution. The system is engineered to fit tanks from five to 660 cubic meters, and the ideal flow stream and strong turbulence increases bubble-particle attachment to improve recovery rates and concentration grades. This lowers energy consumption by 15 to 40 percent.


The mixedROW Flotation System is easy to start up, has a lower cost to run and a longer mechanism life. It’s also designed to have adequate residence time for optimum recovery and concentration grade. The mixedROW Flotation System treats many particle sizes and requires less maintenance. Not only that, it’s also easy to install and it enables you to reduce your carbon footprint.

Raise concentration grade, use less energy – mixedROW Flotation System

Higher recovery
Improve recovery with a technologically advanced flotation cell built to keep your operation running at maximum efficiency.
Lower energy consumption
The mixedROW Flotation System enables you to lower energy consumption by 15 to 40 percent.
Improved concentration grade
The ideal flow stream and strong turbulence increase bubble-particle attachment improving recovery rates and concentration. 

mixedROW Flotation System: Technology for sustained productivity

To keep your operation producing the highest grade material while conserving energy, the mixedROW Flotation System is designed to take your productivity to the next level. By combining WEMCO and nextSTEP cells, the system provide much more than the sum of their individual parts.


Energy efficiency 

nextSTEP machines are placed at the beginning of the row where easy floating material is recovered using the least amount of energy possible. 


Coarse and fine particle recovery

WEMCO machines are placed at the end of the row to increase both coarse and fine particle recovery.


Lowest head loss
Patented system of dart valves that allows for the efficient transfer of slurry from one tank to the next with the lowest possible head loss.
