The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) staff celebrated the company’s first yr of enterprise recently (March 2022) by 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 a part of the Group’s strategy to expand its fluid expertise providers in Africa.
“The AFS team works closely with our sister company BMG, to increase specialist providers, by way of the design, distribution, provide and help of a broad range of slurry-related valves, together with Klep diaphragm and wedge gate valves,” says Donald Morrison, General Manager, AFS. “Our specialists successfully achieved their first problem, which they set for themselves when the company was established – to improve the quality of diaphragm valves, by extending service life and decreasing the maintenance requirements of this range. This aim was achieved via exhausting work and the implementation of superior design applied sciences, materials and coatings and is a great tribute to our staff.
“Important milestones over the past year embody the institution of a brand 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 products, which aren’t but secure dimensionally, by elevating heat and strain. An autoclave is similar to a huge oven, with extraordinarily high temperature and pressure scores, that make rubber parts stable and strong in size and shape.
“ เครื่องมือตรวจวัดความดันเลือดเรียกว่า is a brand new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility inside our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“We are now able to manufacture all pinch sleeves, together with high pressure and pneumatic sleeves. AFS pinch sleeves are manufactured from the best quality rubber merchandise, which are provided by Rema Tip Top. We have additionally made a significant funding to increase our hydraulic pressing facility and through our new design and process, we are capable of manufacture high-pressure diaphragms able to 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 range contains flanged, wafer, lugged, urethane lined and high-pressure knife gate valves.
“BMG additionally distributes a locally 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. AFS has just lately manufactured and factory-tested some bigger 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 particularly for heavy abrasive and corrosive slurries and water and wastewater installations. This patented design allows the valve to cycle by way of heavy slurries with out sticking. Wafer, flanged and high-pressure variants are available.
“Our extremely skilled team has a thorough understanding of the processes the place valves are put in and is prepared to specify the right valves required for each software. We also help prospects in fixing the problems of adverse installations and applications.
“To guarantee optimum security, effectivity and the extended service life of every system, the choice of the right industrial slurry valve is crucial. Valve choice is based on various elements, including the dimensions and form of particles, pressure, temperatures and chemical content material.”
This AFS portfolio is especially well-suited for use in harsh conditions in diverse industries, together with mining, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, vitality production and agri-food industries. Important installations just lately, have been in mining slurry, tailings dams, and acid pumping purposes, which rely 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 means customers can declare BEE procurement recognition of a hundred twenty five percent towards all purchases.
