T
echnically competent personnel
will be on hand at the MBE stand
to discuss the various technolo-
gies available from the company.
These include Pneuflot
®
flotation
technology which continues to attract global
attention as a flotation technology of the fu-
ture. Kottmann says that there are 82 instal-
lations in coal globally and in magnetite and
haematite (itabirite) flotation in South Africa.
According to Kottmann, the Pneuflot
®
flota-
tion cell improves product quality and recovery,
delivering lower capital and operating costs,
as well as significantly lower wear costs and
higher efficiencies. It features a unique design
with no rotating parts, achieving low energy
consumption and less wear-and-tear than con-
ventional agitator cells.
Also on show will be the company’s BATAC
®
jig technology. This, says Kottmann, has been
field-proven through extensive and diverse test
work to deliver higher efficiency, huge eco-
nomic benefits, better product quality, better
machine availability and higher throughput
rates. The main advantages are its excellent
separation accuracy, its relatively small foot-
print and its comparatively low capital cost.
Discussing other product lines to be exhib-
ited, Kottmann says the company’s ROMJIG
®
has proved particularly suitable as a reliable
and economical solution in destoning raw coal.
“The lower percentage of refuse in the washery
feed means reduced wear on machinery and
transporting equipment, less grain degradation,

Pneuflot® cells are simple in design, with a high yield of froth product.
A leading supplier of minerals beneficiation
technology to the African mining sector, MBE Minerals
will be participating at the show. “This is a significant
year to be attending Electra Mining Africa as MBE
Minerals will be celebrating 40 years of successful
operation on the continent,” Kottmann says.
