Dump Valve
aranzu’s Force Guard and Force Lite dump valves are engineered safety devices designed to protect critical pipeline infrastructure in mining and mineral processing applications. Developed for high- and low-pressure systems respectively, these valves offer rapid emergency response capabilities, allowing for controlled flushing of paste or slurry lines during potential blockage events. With electric actuator compatibility and flexible integration options, these valves form an essential component of a mine’s pipeline protection and blockage response strategy.
High-Pressure and Low-Pressure Configurations
- Force Guard: Designed for high-pressure applications (>64 bar)
- Force Lite: Designed for low-pressure applications (<64 bar)
- Both configurations are optimized for various mining conditions.
Electric Actuation Ready
- Compatible with all reputable electric actuator suppliers
- Allows seamless integration into both new and existing plant control systems
Emergency Flushing Capability
- Engineered to rapidly evacuate paste material from the pipeline
- Directs material to a designated emergency dump area in blockage scenarios
Multi-Control Modes
Automated Control:
Integrated with pressure sensors for automatic actuation when thresholds are exceeded
Local Control:
Features motorized actuator with manual override for on-site operator control
Remote Control:
Fully operable from control room interfaces for real-time response
Paste Backfill Systems
Protects against line blockages and maintains system integrity in high-density paste operations.
Slurry and Process Pipelines
Enables rapid flushing during unexpected events such as pressure drops or plant stalls.
Blockage Management Plans
Serves as a critical component for safe manual intervention and isolation of compromised pipework.
Underground Borehole Management
Mitigates risks associated with borehole failures, casing erosion, and downstream line damage caused by spalling or abrasion.
Pressure Ratings
- Force Lite: For applications under 64 bar
- Force Guard: For application over 64 bar
Valve Sizes
- Offered in a range of sizes to match all common mining pipeline diameters.
Actuator Types
- Compatible with actuators from client-preferred suppliers, allowing tailored integration.
Sensor Integration
- Supports integration with pressure sensors, PLCs, and SCADA systems for enhanced control and monitoring
At aranzu, we offer customisable solutions to meet specific client needs. This High-Pressure Slurry Drain Valve can be designed with any process connection type, including bespoke configurations. Clients may choose from a variety of actuator types or opt for a manual hand wheel, for more controlled operations. Additionally, the pressure rating of the valve can be tailored to match individual application requirements, ensuring optimal performance and flexibility across diverse mining and industrial environments.
