The Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS) staff celebrated the company’s first 12 months of business lately (March 2022) by internet hosting a two-day launch operate 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 strategy to increase its fluid expertise companies in Africa.
“The AFS group works closely with our sister company BMG, to extend specialist providers, by way of the design, distribution, provide 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 successfully achieved their first challenge, which they set for themselves when the company was established – to enhance the quality of diaphragm valves, by extending service life and lowering the maintenance necessities of this range. This objective was achieved by way of hard work and the implementation of advanced design technologies, supplies and coatings and is a great tribute to our group.
“Important milestones over the past year embody the institution of a model new rubber lining facility, with the installation of autoclaves that have capacities of as a lot as 10 m in size. In the rubber business, autoclaves are used to vulcanise rubber merchandise, which are not yet steady dimensionally, by elevating heat and stress. An autoclave is just like a huge oven, with extraordinarily high temperature and strain scores, that make rubber components steady and strong in size and form.
“Another advancement is a model new pinch valve sleeve manufacturing facility inside our new rubber lining and sleeve manufacturing facility.
“We at the second are able to manufacture all pinch sleeves, including high pressure and pneumatic sleeves. ความหมายของเครื่องวัดความดัน are manufactured from the very best high quality rubber merchandise, that are supplied by Rema Tip Top. We have also made a big funding to extend our hydraulic pressing facility and through our new design and course of, we are capable of manufacture high-pressure diaphragms able to pressures in excess 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 range consists of 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 merchandise include pinch valves, new water air launch valves, Resilient Seated Gate (RSV) valves and rotary disc sleeve valves. AFS has recently manufactured and factory-tested some larger DN seven hundred hydraulically operated 20 Bar valves for a customer in Europe.
“Recently launched Dual rotary disc sleeve valves comprise a sophisticated 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 by way of heavy slurries with out sticking. Wafer, flanged and high-pressure variants are available.
“Our highly expert team has an intensive understanding of the processes the place valves are put in and is able to specify the right valves required for each application. We also help prospects in fixing the issues of inauspicious installations and applications.
“To guarantee optimum security, efficiency and the prolonged service life of every system, the number of the correct industrial slurry valve is critical. Valve selection is based on various factors, together with the scale and shape of particles, strain, temperatures and chemical content material.”
This AFS portfolio is particularly well-suited for use in harsh situations in diverse industries, together with mining, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, vitality manufacturing and agri-food industries. Important installations recently, have been in mining slurry, tailings dams, and acid pumping purposes, which rely on plant availability and the protected 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 customers can declare BEE procurement recognition of one hundred twenty five percent in opposition to all purchases.
