The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) group celebrated the company’s first 12 months of business lately (March 2022) by hosting a two-day launch operate 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 half of the Group’s technique to expand its fluid expertise companies in Africa.
“The AFS staff works closely with our sister firm BMG, to increase specialist companies, by way of the design, distribution, supply and assist of a broad range 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 decreasing the upkeep requirements of this vary. This objective was achieved through onerous work and the implementation of advanced design technologies, supplies and coatings and is a superb tribute to our group.
“Important milestones over the past 12 months embody the institution of a brand 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 business, autoclaves are used to vulcanise rubber merchandise, which aren’t yet secure dimensionally, by elevating warmth and strain. An autoclave is much like an enormous oven, with extraordinarily high temperature and stress scores, that make rubber elements secure and stable in measurement and form.
“Another development is a model new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility inside our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“We are now able to manufacture all pinch sleeves, including high strain and pneumatic sleeves. AFS pinch sleeves are manufactured from the very best high quality rubber merchandise, that are supplied by Rema Tip Top. We have also made a significant investment to increase our hydraulic urgent facility and thru 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 vary includes flanged, wafer, lugged, urethane lined and high-pressure knife gate valves.
“BMG additionally distributes a regionally manufactured vary of abrasion-resistant valves for Dual Products International. These products include pinch valves, new water air release valves, Resilient Seated Gate (RSV) valves and rotary disc sleeve valves. AFS has recently 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 permits the valve to cycle by way of heavy slurries without sticking. Wafer, flanged and high-pressure variants are available.
“Our highly expert group has a thorough understanding of the processes where valves are put in and is prepared to specify the right valves required for each software. We also help customers in solving the issues of inauspicious installations and functions.
“To ensure optimum safety, effectivity and the prolonged service life of each system, the choice of the correct industrial slurry valve is important. Valve selection relies on numerous components, including the scale and shape of particles, pressure, temperatures and chemical content material.”
เกจวัดแรงดันถังแก๊ส is particularly well-suited to be used in harsh situations in numerous industries, together with mining, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, energy production and agri-food industries. Important installations lately, have been in mining slurry, tailings dams, and acid pumping functions, 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 implies prospects can claim BEE procurement recognition of a hundred twenty five percent in opposition to all purchases.
