Advancing flotation through application and insight
Mineral flotation outcomes don’t need to rely on guesswork, intuition or after the fact metallurgical results. There is a better way. By combining application expertise, real-time measurement and manufacturing capability, The Sinoz Group partners with operators to reduce risk, optimise mineral processing circuits and deliver consistent, reliable metallurgical performance that translates directly to operational value.
For more than 25 years, The Sinoz Group, through its operating companies Sinoz, Kanins and Kemtec, has been a trusted global partner to the mineral processing industry. Together, these Australian businesses, supply flotation reagents and process solutions to more than 100 mine sites across base metals, precious metals and critical minerals. Importantly, Sinoz and Kanins are manufacturers, not traders, providing customers with confidence in product consistency, rigorous quality control and long-term supply security, supported by Kemtec’s application and optimisation expertise.
That reputation has been built on reliability, consistently delivering high-quality reagents and maintaining uninterrupted supply even through major geopolitical disruptions and global pandemics. By manufacturing, sourcing and controlling its own reagent portfolio, Sinoz eliminates supply chain uncertainty while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
The strength of The Sinoz Group lies in the integration of manufacturing capability, metallurgical expertise and global logistics execution. This vertically integrated model allows Sinoz to optimise reagent selection based on ore characteristics and circuit behaviour, while guaranteeing dependable delivery through international shipping capability and local inventory strategies. Customers benefit from knowing critical reagents will be available when needed, without compromise.
At Sinoz, success is aligned with customer performance, delivering dependable supply, technical expertise and practical innovation that creates measurable operational value.
Application driven flotation optimisation
Sinoz Group provides specialised flotation collectors and processing aids supported by hands-on technical service designed to improve recovery, concentrate grade and circuit stability. Rather than offering an unfocused catalogue of chemicals, Sinoz concentrates on a targeted range of high-performance reagents engineered and optimised for specific ore types and operating conditions.
This same application-led philosophy extends beyond flotation, with Kanins’ KIP Gold Grade Activated Carbon delivering consistent, high-quality gold recovery and stable circuit performance in both CIP and CIL circuits.
A critical differentiator is Kemtec’s application and optimisation expertise. Kemtec metallurgists work directly with site teams to select, trial and optimise reagents under real operating conditions. This approach ensures reagent changes translate into measurable plant improvements, higher recoveries, improved grades, reduced reagent consumption and more stable flotation performance, rather than remaining theoretical laboratory results.
For operators, this delivers practical outcomes: improved throughput, reduced variability and increased confidence in day-to-day flotation control.
Driving flotation innovation
To further support proactive flotation control, The Sinoz Group has recently developed and deployed FlotSense® hydrodynamic monitoring technology. This innovation provides realtime visibility of flotation cell performance, enabling operators to detect instability, optimise reagent dosing and adjust air, froth and mixing conditions before metallurgical losses occur.
The key breakthrough lies in combining advanced reagents with realtime measurement. With FlotSense® hydrodynamic monitoring probes, Kemtec can directly assess gas dispersion, turbulence and froth stability inside operating flotation cells, parameters that were previously inferred only after recovery losses had already occurred.
FlotSense® probes have now been deployed at more than 10 mine sites, delivering insights that allow operators to identify root causes of performance losses, stabilise circuits and achieve more consistent recovery and grade.
A partner in performance
The Sinoz Group is more than a reagent supplier. As a manufacturer with deep metallurgical and application expertise, Sinoz delivers tangible value through reliable supply, innovative technology and handson flotation optimisation. By combining FlotSense® hydrodynamic monitoring, tailored reagent solutions and Kemtec’s application knowhow, operators gain the ability to measure, understand and actively control flotation performance in real time.
The outcome is more predictable recovery, improved plant stability and lower operating costs; whether optimising large, complex operations or reprocessing tailings to unlock additional value.
In a high demand, strong metal price climate, performance variability directly translates to lost revenue. Request a site review or trial FlotSense® technology to identify improvement opportunities, reduce metallurgical risk and capture value with confidence.
