The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) group celebrated the company’s first 12 months of business just lately (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 technology providers in Africa.
“The AFS team works closely with our sister firm BMG, to increase specialist services, by way of 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 problem, which they set for themselves when the corporate was established – to enhance the quality of diaphragm valves, by extending service life and decreasing the maintenance necessities of this range. This goal was achieved via exhausting work and the implementation of superior design applied sciences, supplies and coatings and is a good tribute to our group.
“Important milestones during the last yr embrace the establishment of a model new rubber lining facility, with the installation of autoclaves that have capacities of as much as 10 m in length. In the rubber industry, autoclaves are used to vulcanise rubber products, which aren’t yet stable dimensionally, by elevating heat and stress. An autoclave is much like a huge oven, with extraordinarily high temperature and stress rankings, that make rubber parts steady and solid in measurement and shape.
“Another advancement is a brand new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility within our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“We at the second are capable of manufacture all pinch sleeves, together with excessive stress and pneumatic sleeves. AFS pinch sleeves are manufactured from the best quality rubber merchandise, that are supplied by Rema Tip Top. We have additionally made a big investment to extend our hydraulic urgent facility and thru our new design and process, we’re capable of manufacture high-pressure diaphragms able to 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 consists of flanged, wafer, lugged, urethane lined and high-pressure knife gate valves.
“BMG additionally distributes a domestically 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 an advanced rotating gate valve with sleeve design, developed particularly for heavy abrasive and corrosive slurries and water and wastewater installations. เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำประปาราคา patented design allows the valve to cycle through heavy slurries with out sticking. Wafer, flanged and high-pressure variants are available.
“Our extremely expert group has an intensive understanding of the processes where valves are put in and is able to specify the proper valves required for each software. We additionally assist customers in fixing the problems of inauspicious installations and functions.
“To ensure optimum safety, efficiency and the prolonged service life of each system, the number of the right industrial slurry valve is crucial. Valve selection is based on numerous elements, including the dimensions and form of particles, pressure, temperatures and chemical content material.”
This AFS portfolio is particularly well-suited to be used in harsh circumstances in various industries, including mining, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, vitality manufacturing and agri-food industries. Important installations just 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 prospects can declare BEE procurement recognition of a hundred twenty five percent in opposition to all purchases.
