Thickeners are designed to separate processed solids for recirculation and reprocessing, or for distribution to tailings. In the thickener unit, valuable water is extracted from the slurry to reuse in other parts of the mining operation. The remaining solids material becomes concentrated for more efficient transfer to the tailings storage facility (TSF).
The following products are capable of providing zero leakage shutoff through high solids content slurry. These valves are engineered to excel in abrasive media for long lasting operation.

Valve failures in mining drive unplanned downtime, safety hazards, environmental exposure, and lost production. Abrasive slurries, cavitation, and corrosive acids each attack valves in different ways, yet all lead to the same outcome: shortened service life and rising maintenance costs. A podcast analyzing available solutions.

Andy Coxall joins podcast host Jim Cahill to discuss the challenges in tailings management, the problems with valves not suited for this severe-service application, and why severe-service knife gate valve technology such as the Clarkson KS1 is the best choice for these challenging slurry applications.
Hier erfahren Sie mehr4 reasons why radar level sensors are superior to ultrasonic level technology: Radar and ultrasonic level measurements are both widely used in industrial and environmental applications for measuring the level of liquids and solids in lift stations, tanks, and open channel flows. Both technologies work on the principle of measuring the time of flight between …
