The substantially horizontal circular plate of the directional element is symmetrically attached around the shaft at its centre and the outer edge of the central plate is bent downwards to form the lap of the guiding part. The gas spreading plate is located on the inner side of the lap. The flotation cell is comprised of a cylindrical lower section, a middle section located above it in the form of a truncated cone widening upwards, and a cylindrical upper section attached to the top of it.
