Concentration in Mining

At AVK Southern Africa, we understand that concentration is a pivotal process in the mining industry, especially when it comes to the extraction of valuable minerals from ore. Our focus is on providing innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and productivity in concentration operations.

What is Concentration?

Concentration is the process of separating valuable minerals from waste material, increasing the purity of the product. This process is essential in maximizing the yield from raw materials and reducing the environmental impact of mining operations. By employing advanced techniques and technologies, we help mining companies optimize their concentration processes.

AVK Valves Southern Africa Contributions

AVK Southern Africa offers a range of products designed to maximise durability in the concentration process. Harsh chemicals are being used to extract the minerals from the materials during the concentration process in mining.

Key Products:

• Knife Gate Valves: Used in applications involving thick slurries and abrasive materials, knife gate valves provide a reliable means of isolating sections of the system while minimizing wear and tear.
  
  
• Pinch Valves: Pinch valves are particularly effective for handling slurries and abrasive mediums. They operate by pinching a flexible tube or sleeve to isolate or control the flow, making them ideal for applications where solid content varies. Their simple design minimizes maintenance and allows for easy cleaning.
  
  
• Butterfly Valves: Are used to isolate or control dosing chemicals. Lined butterfly valves are particular effective especially where some chemicals do not react very well with some metals.

• Ball Valves: Used to isolate chemicals and concentrated mediums. Instead of soft-lined materials specialised metals can be used in certain chemicals.

• Non-Return: Used for stopping the reversal of flow preventing damaging valuable infrastructure. Can be used in clear to solid loaded mediums.
