The Dual Free Flow Valves were manufactured in Dual’s factory in Benoni, South Africa. These valves took approximately 15 weeks to manufacture from start to finish. These valves will be used for a slurry application on Capstone (Pinto Valley Copper mine) in America. The steps leading up to the day of upliftment had to be precise, from organizing the 40 ft open-top container, due to the size of the valves, down to the expected time of arrival at the Durban Harbour (South Africa) and everything in between.
On the day of upliftment, a sense of excitement travelled through the factory for all involved with the project. The container will be at sea for 6 more Weeks before reaching its destination in the USA and hopefully reach the client before year end.
The valve specification includes: fabricated carbon steel body, rubber-lined, urethane ball, Roc-Tuff seat, pressure rating of 310 psi, and flanged and drilled in compliance with ANSI300.
