HELIFLOAT - The Best Floating Mixer

HELIFLOAT floating agitators/mixers are an economical, energy-efficient investment, producing high-displaced volumes for water treatment basins, lagoons and tanks. 

Multiple agitators can operate within a single large basin and tank, ensuring flexibility in any configurations.

These mixers are essential in various operations, including homogenization, solid suspension, and the prevention of sludge and solids deposits, making them ideal for municipal and industrial water treatment applications.

By eliminating costly pontoons and special support structures, they reduce installation complexity and project costs. This also helps you accelerate commissioning for faster delivery.

Designed for water treatment basins, lagoons and tanks, HELIFLOAT floating mixers efficiently mix the slurry, ensuring that solid particles are fully mixed for optimal mineral recovery. 

The HELIFLOAT downdraft agitator effectively holds solid particles in suspension with its high-performance SABRE propeller. This proprietary impeller channels the liquid jet toward the bottom of the basin, reaching depths of up to 15 m (49.2 ft), creating conditions that enhance the flotation process.

Since it is floating, the HELIFLOAT mixer does not require a mounting device. Its fixation is performed using simple cables to avoid gyration, allowing several agitators to be suspended in large-dimension basins.

Its powerful float acts not just as a support, but also as a stabilizer against vibrations and wave movement.

Explore the numerous key benefits that distinguish our floating agitators from the competition:

  • Time- and Cost-efficient Installation.
    Our HELIFLOAT floating agitators are designed with lightweight materials, which makes them incredibly easy to handle during the installation process. Their unique floating design allows for straightforward installation using simple cables to secure the agitator to the tank. This innovative approach eliminates the need for complex structures or mounting devices, streamlining the setup and saving valuable time and resources.
  • Powerful Propulsion.
    Equipped with our advanced SABRE propeller, these agitators deliver exceptional axial flow. The specially designed body integrated into the structure effectively channels the liquid jet, enabling significant propulsion capabilities that can reach depths of up to 15 meters (49.2 ft).This powerful propulsion enhances the flotation process for solid particles, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency in various applications.
  • Minimal Maintenance.
    Our HELIFLOAT mixers are constructed using high-quality standard parts, which simplifies maintenance and upkeep. This thoughtful design ensures that maintenance tasks are straightforward and hassle-free, allowing operators to focus on maximizing efficiency and productivity during operation.
  • Modest Energy Consumption.
    Despite the large volume of liquid they can displace, our agitators are engineered to require minimal power for operation. This energy-efficient design makes them an excellent choice for mineral processing applications, helping to reduce operational costs while maintaining high performance levels. By choosing our floating agitators, you are investing in a solution that balances efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

Our HELIFLOAT floating agitator is the ideal product for consistent, effective mixing of solids in the following water treatment applications:

  • Homogenization
  • Solid Suspension
  • To prevent sludge/solids deposits

The agitator can be installed without the need for a specific structure, making it an economic and versatile choice for various applications. It features lightweight equipment that allows for easy handling and quick installation. This system operates efficiently at variable levels, ensuring consistent performance and optimal reaction time. 

Maintenance is minimal, as it utilizes standard parts. It effectively treats wide areas up to 36 meters (118 feet) in diameter and can function in temperatures ranging from 0 to +40 °C (32 to +104 °F).

The technical specifications highlight the main features of the equipment, which include a gearbox and motor-driven system, a set of floats, a durable stainless steel frame, a flow guiding device, and a SABRE propeller. These components work together to ensure efficient operation and reliability in various applications, including flotation machines for valuable minerals.

In terms of electrical features, the equipment operates with a power range of 11 to 30 kW (15 to 40 HP) and is designed for a 50 Hz and 60 Hz (IEC/NEMA), three-phase power supply. It also boasts an IP 56 rating, indicating its protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for challenging environments.

The materials used in construction primarily consist of stainless steel, with options for other materials available upon request. The standard painting is SPC3 (SPC4 and 5 as option). The equipment can accommodate one or several agitators based on the surface area of the tank, lagoon, or basin, and is secured by slings. It meets several standards of excellence, including ISO 50001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS, with options for motors and materials tailored to specific environmental and climatic conditions.

Our HELIFLOAT are available in ATEX and explosion-proof versions on request.
