Afrivalve appointed as distributor of Gemü Valves for the mining sector in Africa
February 2017
News
Afrivalve, part of the eDART group of companies, has further expanded its range to offer the Gemü valve and control systems range in the mining and metal refining sector in Africa.
Gregor Hopton.
Gregor Hopton of Afrivalve has over 20 years of experience selling the Gemü range in South Africa and knows the quality and reliability that the brand offers. This gives Afrivalve the ability to offer a complete valve solution typically from mill discharge all the way through the process to the final refined metal. This was a necessary addition due to Afrivalve’s success with larger projects in the mining sector and the customer’s preference for a single source solution.
The Gemü range includes metal body valves, metal body lined in thermoplastic (or fluoropolymer lined) and full thermoplastic valves. Both abrasive and corrosive applications are catered for in the wide range of materials of construction. Control solutions include position indicators, positioners and variable-area flowmeters.
In-house expertise within the eDART Group includes mechanical, instrumentation, process and design engineers. Control valve sizing and specialised valve training courses are also offered within the group, and more information is available on request. Gemü valves are stocked locally and are available from the new facility in Randburg.
