The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) staff celebrated the company’s first 12 months of enterprise lately (March 2022) by hosting a two-day launch function 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 strategy to broaden its fluid expertise services in Africa.
“The AFS group works intently with our sister company BMG, to increase specialist services, by way of the design, distribution, provide and support of a broad vary of slurry-related valves, including Klep diaphragm and wedge gate valves,” says Donald Morrison, General Manager, AFS. “Our specialists efficiently achieved their first problem, which they set for themselves when the company was established – to enhance the quality of diaphragm valves, by extending service life and reducing the maintenance requirements of this range. This objective was achieved via onerous work and the implementation of advanced design applied sciences, materials and coatings and is a good tribute to our group.
“Important milestones during the last 12 months embody the institution of a new rubber lining facility, with the installation of autoclaves which have capacities of up to 10 m in length. In the rubber industry, autoclaves are used to vulcanise rubber merchandise, which aren’t yet secure dimensionally, by elevating warmth and strain. An autoclave is similar to a huge oven, with extremely excessive temperature and strain rankings, that make rubber components stable and solid in size and form.
“Another development is a new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility inside our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“ เกจวัดแรงดันแก๊สlpgรถยนต์ are actually capable of manufacture all pinch sleeves, together with high strain and pneumatic sleeves. AFS pinch sleeves are manufactured from the best high quality rubber merchandise, which might be provided by Rema Tip Top. We have also made a significant funding to extend our hydraulic pressing facility and through our new design and course of, we’re in a position to manufacture high-pressure diaphragms capable of pressures in extra of 20 Bar.
“AFS has enhanced the design and manufacturing of its slurry knife gate valve vary, 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 include pinch valves, new water air launch valves, Resilient Seated Gate (RSV) valves and rotary disc sleeve valves. AFS has just lately manufactured and factory-tested some larger DN seven-hundred 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 specifically for heavy abrasive and corrosive slurries and water and wastewater installations. This patented design allows the valve to cycle via heavy slurries with out sticking. Wafer, flanged and high-pressure variants are available.
“Our highly expert group has a thorough understanding of the processes where valves are installed and is prepared to specify the right valves required for every application. We additionally help prospects in solving the problems of adverse installations and purposes.
“To guarantee optimum safety, efficiency and the prolonged service life of every system, the number of the correct industrial slurry valve is crucial. Valve selection is predicated on various elements, including the size and form of particles, pressure, temperatures and chemical content.”
This AFS portfolio is especially well-suited for use in harsh situations in diverse industries, together with mining, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, power production and agri-food industries. Important installations lately, have been in mining slurry, tailings dams, and acid pumping applications, which depend on plant availability and the secure operation of valves.
Another achievement for AFS is that ESG has recently achieved recognition as a Level 2 contributor to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), which implies customers can claim BEE procurement recognition of 125 % towards all purchases.
