Flowrox, manufacturers of industrial valves and pumps, with an office located in Maryland, USA, has recently won a valve delivery project to one of the biggest uranium mines in the world, HUSAB Uranium mine in Namibia. Flowrox will supply a total of 83 hydraulically actuated pinch valves for heavy duty application in the tailings operation sector, spread over 23 km of desert. The valves will be operated with unique actuator solutions when required, by means of two mobile gasoline-powered hydraulic power packs.
In addition to pinch valves, Flowrox will therefore deliver a complete project package and has already conducted both theoretical and practical competence trainings to technical staff members. Flowrox will also supply the required valve spare parts, enabling mine staff to carry out any service and repairs without delays. Additional plans are underway to order service exchange valves from Flowrox, to ensure smooth serviceability, given demanding desert conditions.
