The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) staff celebrated the company’s first 12 months of enterprise lately (March 2022) by hosting a two-day launch perform at its manufacturing plant in Benoni, Gauteng.
AFS, which specialises in 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 increase its fluid technology companies in Africa.
“The AFS team works intently with our sister firm BMG, to extend specialist companies, through the design, distribution, supply and support of a broad vary of slurry-related valves, together with Klep diaphragm and wedge gate valves,” says Donald Morrison, General Manager, AFS. “Our specialists successfully achieved their first challenge, which they set for themselves when the corporate was established – to enhance the quality of diaphragm valves, by extending service life and reducing the upkeep requirements of this vary. This aim was achieved through onerous work and the implementation of superior design technologies, materials and coatings and is a good tribute to our team.
“Important milestones over the last 12 months include the establishment of a new rubber lining facility, with the set up of autoclaves that have capacities of up to 10 m in length. In the rubber business, autoclaves are used to vulcanise rubber merchandise, which are not but secure dimensionally, by elevating warmth and strain. An autoclave is just like a huge oven, with extraordinarily excessive temperature and pressure ratings, that make rubber elements steady and solid in measurement and shape.
“Another advancement is a brand new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility inside our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“ เกจวัดแรงดันลมดิจิตอล are now capable of manufacture all pinch sleeves, together with high pressure and pneumatic sleeves. AFS pinch sleeves are manufactured from the very best quality rubber products, which might be supplied by Rema Tip Top. We have also made a major investment to increase our hydraulic pressing facility and thru our new design and process, we’re able to 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 vary, 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 domestically manufactured range of abrasion-resistant valves for Dual Products International. These merchandise embody pinch valves, new water air launch valves, Resilient Seated Gate (RSV) valves and rotary disc sleeve valves. AFS has lately manufactured and factory-tested some bigger 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 specifically 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 are available.
“Our highly skilled group has a thorough understanding of the processes where valves are installed and is ready to specify the proper valves required for every utility. We also assist customers in fixing the problems of adverse installations and applications.
“To ensure optimum security, effectivity and the extended service life of every system, the number of the proper industrial slurry valve is important. Valve choice relies on varied components, together with the size and form of particles, pressure, temperatures and chemical content.”
This AFS portfolio is particularly well-suited for use in harsh conditions in diverse industries, including 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 depend on plant availability and the safe operation of valves.
Another achievement for AFS is that ESG has just lately achieved recognition as a Level 2 contributor to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), which means prospects can claim BEE procurement recognition of one hundred twenty five % against all purchases.
