Wemco flotation cells have a well-earned reputation for simple, reliable and efficient operation. They are renowned for achieving higher recovery rates while conserving reagents and producing higher grade concentrates. Wemco is famous for their self-aspirating “1+1” and “SmartCell” flotation systems. Both are known as very sturdy machines that deliver longer mechanism life with less required maintenance. Wemco flotation mechanisms are placed higher in the tank than other systems. They are designed to be serviced in position and restarted even under full loads.The strong performance of Wemco flotation cells is due to patented technology that delivers highly efficient aeration and optimum solids suspension. The intense mixing provides optimal air/particle contact and prevents problems with sand building up in the cell. The result is the highest recovery rates in the industry.

Wemco flotation equipment is so well made that it is generally still quite serviceable after the original application has been retired. Parts for these machines are readily available in OEM or aftermarket brands. Used Wemco mechanisms can usually be put back into service in much less time and at a fraction of the cost of ordering new mechanisms. As with other durable machinery, like used ball mills or mine hoist motors, equipment dealers are always on the lookout for facility closures that will make used mechanisms available. A competent dealer can help you assess the equipment and assist in procuring any replacement parts needed.
Sometimes only part of an assembly is available. Dealers with a good network of associates can pull from many sources to find the right tank for your mechanism or vice versa. For the amount of money that can be saved, taking the trouble to organize the needed parts and properly refurbish these machines is well worth your time. The dealer to choose is one with a focus on customer service that can help simplify this effort, making it a pleasure to achieve your aims while also saving money.
