1. Summary of the stirring tank

The stirring tank is indispensable equipment in the flotation separating process. According to different uses, it can be divided into the slurry stirring tank, stirred tank, lifting stirring tank, and medicine stirring tank.

2. Structure of the stirring tub

The stirring tank is mainly composed of the following parts.

1) The mixing tank, it is a container which is used to hold the stirring slurry.

3) The motor and the transmission device, its transmission way has belt transmission and gearbox transmission.

4) The auxiliary components, such as support beam, feeding pipe, discharging pipe, loop tube, the baffle on the slurry wall, and so on.

3. Operation and maintenance of the mixing barrel

1) For the no-load test, it is necessary to inject water to the tank about the two-thirds of the high before starting the motor; for the load operation, the load current should not exceed 85% of the motor rated current.

2) It is necessary to inject the oil to the upper and lower bearing with oil cup or oil gun per three months.

3) It is necessary to slightly adjust the bolt on the upper cover of the bearing, keeping that the bearing clearance will not be too large per half year.

4) Pay attention to check whether there are loose bolts, whether the bearings are damage. If there is any, tighten the bolt and replace the bearings in time.
