Mining

Various processes within the mining industry require water flow to be maintained at a constant rate regardeless of pressure. BT-Maric constant flow valves are often used in the following applications:

  • Gland water flow control to gland-packing/stuffing box and mechanical seals of centrifugal and slurry pumps.
  • Ensuring that there is a consistent supply of gland flushing water to protect the pump. Protecting valuable pump equipment and ensuring they work at the highest efficiency, with the bare minimum of unplanned downtime is essential in the mining industry.
  • Limiting gland water flow rate also ensures gland water availability in the event of failure of any one or more centrifugal pump glands, on a common gland water supply
  • Limiting gland water flow rate also ensures gland water availability in the event of failure of any one or more centrifugal pump glands, on a common gland water supply
  • Fixing flow rates to maximise the life of the gland.
  • Controlling flow to pump glands, conserves valuable packing water supplies – especially as mines often operate in arid areas
  • Limiting gland water flow rate also prevents the unnecessary dilution of slurry or product.

BT-Maric constant flow valves can be used in many applications with challenging environement. To know more about the different body valves material and control rubber joint, you can dowload our brochure or order our catalogue.
