The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) staff celebrated the company’s first 12 months of business recently (March 2022) by internet hosting a two-day launch perform at its manufacturing plant in Benoni, Gauteng.
AFS, which specialises within the design and manufacture of slurry-related valves, was established by the Engineering Solutions Group (ESG) of Invicta Holdings Limited, as part of the Group’s technique to expand its fluid expertise companies in Africa.
“The AFS team works intently with our sister company BMG, to increase specialist companies, through the design, distribution, provide and support of a broad range of slurry-related valves, together with Klep diaphragm and wedge gate valves,” says Donald Morrison, General Manager, AFS. “Our specialists efficiently achieved their first challenge, which they set for themselves when the corporate was established – to improve the standard of diaphragm valves, by extending service life and decreasing the maintenance necessities of this range. This objective was achieved through exhausting work and the implementation of superior design applied sciences, supplies and coatings and is a good tribute to our team.
“Important milestones during the last year embody the institution of a model new rubber lining facility, with the set up of autoclaves that have capacities of as a lot as 10 m in length. In the rubber trade, autoclaves are used to vulcanise rubber merchandise, which are not yet steady dimensionally, by elevating warmth and pressure. An autoclave is similar to a huge oven, with extraordinarily excessive temperature and strain scores, that make rubber components stable and solid in measurement and form.
“Another development is a new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility inside our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“We are actually capable of manufacture all pinch sleeves, together with excessive pressure and pneumatic sleeves. AFS pinch sleeves are manufactured from the very best quality rubber products, which are supplied by Rema Tip Top. We have also made a big funding to increase our hydraulic pressing facility and thru our new design and course of, we are capable of manufacture high-pressure diaphragms capable of pressures in extra of 20 Bar.
“AFS has enhanced the design and production of its slurry knife gate valve range, with dimensions ranging in diameter from a 50 mm unit to 1.5 m valves. The vary contains flanged, wafer, lugged, urethane lined and high-pressure knife gate valves.
“BMG also distributes a regionally manufactured vary of abrasion-resistant valves for Dual Products International. These products embrace pinch valves, new water air release valves, Resilient Seated Gate (RSV) valves and rotary disc sleeve valves. เกวัดแรงดัน has lately manufactured and factory-tested some larger DN 700 hydraulically operated 20 Bar valves for a buyer in Europe.
“Recently launched Dual rotary disc sleeve valves comprise a complicated rotating gate valve with sleeve design, developed particularly for heavy abrasive and corrosive slurries and water and wastewater installations. This patented design permits the valve to cycle by way of heavy slurries with out sticking. Wafer, flanged and high-pressure variants can be found.
“Our highly expert staff has a radical understanding of the processes the place valves are installed and is able to specify the proper valves required for every utility. We additionally assist clients in solving the problems of inauspicious installations and functions.
“To ensure optimum security, efficiency and the prolonged service life of every system, the selection of the right industrial slurry valve is crucial. Valve choice relies on various elements, including the scale and form of particles, pressure, temperatures and chemical content material.”
This AFS portfolio is especially well-suited to be used in harsh circumstances in numerous industries, together with mining, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, power production and agri-food industries. Important installations recently, have been in mining slurry, tailings dams, and acid pumping applications, which depend on plant availability and the safe operation of valves.
Another achievement for AFS is that ESG has lately achieved recognition as a Level 2 contributor to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), which implies clients can declare BEE procurement recognition of a hundred twenty five percent against all purchases.
