Flotation

Improve optical cleanliness

    Improve optical cleanliness

    The primary goal of flotation deinking is the selective removal of printing ink, stickies and hydrophobic impurities in general from the stock suspension, thus improving the brightness and optical appearance of the product. Fillers and coating particles can also be removed efficiently with flotation.

     

    Selectivity is important for retaining useful material such as fibers in the accepts and thereby reducing losses to a minimum. The selectivity criteria is the wettability of the particle surfaces. The more hydrophobic the particle surface, the better it adheres to an air bubble and the better the chance of its removal. It is also important that the particles detached from the fibers. Only free particles can be removed by flotation principle.

        Application area Short description
      InjectaCell

      Deinking

      The InjectaCell flotation system removes contaminants from the stock suspension with minimal fiber loss. Due to the two-stage design, the flotation process is extremely efficient and flexible. The LEF (LowEnergyFlotation) technology inside helps to achieve best quality results with low energy demand.

      InjectaCell Compact

      Deinking

      InjectaCell Compact achieves significant savings in investment and space demand in flotation by using newly developed FiberRecovery cells, which combine the tasks of primary and secondary flotation cells.

      InjectaPump Deaeration

      InjectaPump replaces the foam breaker and foam tank and guarantees stable operation, even with highly variable foaming behavior and changing amounts of foam. With InjectaPump, a flotation plant can be built on one floor.

      LowEnergyFlotation

      Deinking

      LowEnergyFlotation (LEF) is a patented low-energy deinking flotation with minimal fiber loss. It effectively removes inks and hydrophobic contaminants from recovered paper and reduces the energy demand by up to 50% compared to a standard application. Existing flotation plants can be rebuilt to LEF technology.
