MaxiFlox® 500-800 Series
A range of non‑ionic, anionic and cationic synthetic flocculants with broad specification for all mineral processing and water/wastewater treatment applications. Solid, emulsion and liquid suspension grades.
Chemistry
Flocculants
MaxiFlox® recover more water and lifts thickener performance, boosting dewatering yield and cuts waste for disposal.
Recover more water and lift thickener performance
SciDev's MaxiFlox® flocculants are engineered to meet the varied needs of mineral processing, water and wastewater treatment applications — providing both conventional and advanced flocculant solutions across the 500 Series, 800 Series and 500R Series ranges.
In thickening applications, MaxiFlox® products enhance settling rates, increase underflow density and improve supernatant clarity. For dewatering and filtration processes, they boost productivity and yield, reduce moisture content and produce a lower volume of waste for disposal. The MaxiFlox® 500R Series offers cutting-edge solutions for challenges around water recovery, mineral and metal recovery, and overall process optimisation, helping to lower operational treatment costs.
Flocculant dosing is paired with SciDev's OptiFlox® automated dosing platform, developed to provide automatic flocculant control by continually monitoring the slurry infeed to a thickener — optimising flocculant dosage while maintaining consistency in thickener operating performance.

MaxiFlox® 500R Series
Advanced chemistry polymers for application in high TDS environments and applications where increased slurry density with minimum viscosity is advantageous.
Key benefits
Why it works
Improved dewatering
Flocculation significantly reduces the time and energy required for dewatering sludge.
Reduced sludge volume
By increasing the solid content of the sludge, flocculation minimises the volume of sludge that needs to be handled and disposed of.
Cost-effective
Flocculation is a relatively cost-effective method for sludge dewatering compared to other more complex technologies.
Enhanced filtration
Flocculation creates larger, more porous flocs, making filtration easier and more efficient.
