Mining

Valves and actuators are essential components in the mining industry, used for heavy duty flow solutions. Specialised valves and actuators control, isolate and regulate the movement of gases, fluids and slurries in the harsh environment of a mine. They are crucial for maintaining safety, optimising efficiency and incurring compliance in harsh, high pressure environments. Without these specialised valves and actuators, mining operations would face severe downtime and potential environmental disasters.

Challenges:

• Abrasive slurry erosion
• Corrosion from chemical exposure
• Water hammer and pressure surges
• Actuator reliability
• Unscheduled downtime

Solutions:

• Hygienic butterfly valves – Used for isolation and control flow
• Diaphragm valves – For sterile applications and handling viscous fluids in high purity processing
• Pneumatic actuators – Used for automated, remote and manual operation for quick actuation in on/off control in filling and packaging
• Ball valves – Ideal for cleaning liquids, water and steam
• Pressure relief valves – Ensure pressure safety in storage tanks and processing lines
• Pinch valves – Safely shuts off flow without product contamination
• Gate valves – Used to stop or start the movement of fluids, withstand pressure and handle abrasive slurries
