Deinking flotation

SelectaFlot

Efficient deinking requires balancing two important considerations: increasing brightness as much as possible while at the same time retaining as many fibers as possible. The ANDRITZ SelectaFlot achieves this balance. SelectaFlot deinking is the result of decades of operating experience and is based on sound technology.

Benefits of ANDRITZ SelectaFlot deinking flotation

• Maximum improvement in optical qualities (high brightness, low dirt)
• Low energy consumption
• Flexible and broad application range for different raw materials
• Simple and stable process control minimizing variations
• Low operating and maintenance costs
• Adaptable to any mill layout
• High reject consistency saving dewatering and disposal costs
• Wide range of capacities

FoamEx: mechanical destruction of foam (especially flotation foam)

The foam generated in flotation deinking is collected and discharged into the foam tank. FoamEx sits on top of the foam tank and destroys foam by creating a partial vacuum through the rotation of the conically shaped rotor. The liquefied foam, which is heavily loaded with ink and dirt, is discharged at the top of the cone.
