Forced-air Flotation cells are designed to uniformly disperse microbubbles throughout the air distrubution system. In a forced air flotation cell, air is generated external to the cell by a low pressure blower, and pumped down the shaft of the flotation cell to the rotor. This feature optimizes particle-bubble interactions and maximizes the surface area for effective flotation ,enhancing recovery rates and operational throughput.

 This equipment is engineered with robustness in mine, enabling it to handle a wide variety of ores and mineral compositions, from copper and gold to more complex polymetallic resources. The location of the rotor at the bottom of the tank effects on pumping efficiency and slurry circulation. A forced air flotation machine has less wear components exposed to the slurry compared to a self aspirated flotation machine. A forced air flotation machine typically has stable, consistent froth flow over the lip at the top of the machine. Forced air flotation machines require a low pressure air blower for air supply.
