Valve Applications in the Mining Industry

Engineered for Tough Conditions. Trusted for Performance.

Mining

Mining operations demand valves that can withstand extreme abrasion, high pressures, corrosive chemicals, and slurry-filled flows. Our industrial-grade valves are designed to ensure safety, durability, and low maintenance in every stage of mineral processing.

Slurry Transport Systems

Valves That Endure the Grind

Designed for abrasive and high-solids content media

Commonly used in tailings lines, mill discharge, and concentrator feed

Materials and linings prevent clogging and wear

Ideal Valve Types:
Knife Gate Valves, Pinch Valves, Lined Ball Valves


Thickener Underflow & Overflow Control

Smooth Flow for High-Solids Operations

Handles viscous, slow-moving slurry with high concentration

Requires valves that provide leak-free sealing and easy actuation

Ideal Valve Types:
Diaphragm Valves, Knife Gate Valves, Control Valves


Leaching & Chemical Dosing Systems

Corrosion-Resistant Solutions for Aggressive Media

Used in heap leaching and hydrometallurgy operations

Must tolerate harsh acids like sulfuric acid or cyanide solutions

Ideal Valve Types:
Lined Plug Valves, PTFE Lined Ball Valves, Diaphragm Valves


Water Management & Tailings Disposal

Flow Control for Environmental Compliance

Controls mine water drainage, tailings ponds, and wastewater treatment

Requires robust sealing and chemical resistance

Ideal Valve Types:
Butterfly Valves, Air Release Valves, Non-Return Valves
