KDV Flow’s DN25 and DN50 diaphragm valves are designed to meet the toughest challenges in mining, from abrasive materials to extreme conditions. Reliable flow control isn’t just important—it’s critical to keeping operations efficient, reducing downtime, and withstanding harsh demands. Recently, these valves underwent rigorous testing at our state-of-the-art facility, proving they’re built to last. These valves don’t just meet the high standards of mining operations worldwide—they exceed them. Let’s take a closer look at how they drive operational efficiency and sustainability for mining companies.
Why Reliable Flow Control Matters in Mining
The mining industry presents a unique set of challenges when it comes to flow control systems. Valves are expected to handle harsh conditions daily, and poor-quality components simply won’t cut it. Here are some of the key challenges:
-
- Abrasive Materials: Slurries, ore, and other abrasive substances quickly wear out inferior equipment.
- Corrosive Chemicals: Chemicals used in mineral processing can corrode valves, leading to leaks and frequent replacements.
- High Costs of Downtime: Equipment failures can result in significant production losses, putting pressure on operators to invest in reliable systems.
KDV Flow understands these challenges and designs valves that offer long-term solutions to keep mining operations running at their best.
Key Features of DN25 and DN50 Diaphragm Valves for Mining Applications
-
- Built for Durability
Crafted from high-quality materials, our DN25 and DN50 diaphragm valves are built tough to withstand the wear and tear caused by abrasive slurries and corrosive substances in mining environments. - Chemical and Abrasion Resistance
Advanced linings and robust construction ensure that our valves stand up to corrosive chemicals and abrasive materials, reducing degradation and extending their lifespan. - Reliable Performance in Harsh Conditions
Our valves are rigorously tested under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, ensuring they maintain functionality even in the most extreme mining operations. - Cost-Efficient Design
With reduced maintenance needs and an extended operational life, KDV diaphragm valves deliver exceptional value. They help mining operators save on repairs, replacements, and downtime, making them a cost-effective investment.

How We Ensure Proven Reliability: The KDV Testing Process
When it comes to mining, “good enough” just doesn’t cut it. At KDV Flow, every valve undergoes a comprehensive testing process to ensure reliability and durability under real-world conditions. Here’s what we do to ensure our DN25 and DN50 valves are up to the job:
- Pressure Testing: We simulate high-pressure environments to ensure our valves maintain their structural integrity and remain leak-free.
- Cycle Testing: Valves are subjected to thousands of opening and closing cycles to confirm their long-term reliability.
- Chemical Resistance Testing: Our materials are tested to withstand exposure to the corrosive chemicals typically used in mining operations.
- Abrasion Resistance Testing: We evaluate each valve’s ability to endure abrasive materials like slurry and ore, ensuring they last in mining applications.
This rigorous testing guarantees consistent performance and gives engineers and operators peace of mind when they choose KDV Flow.
How KDV Valves Support Sustainable Mining Practices
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important focus for the mining industry, with pressure to minimise waste and environmental impact. KDV’s diaphragm valves help mining companies meet these goals in several ways:
- Reducing Waste: With longer lifespans and fewer replacements, our valves minimise material waste and reduce the environmental footprint of operations.
- Improving Energy Efficiency: By offering high-performance flow control, our valves reduce the energy required to transport fluids and materials, helping mining operators save on power consumption.
- Environmental Compliance: Robust construction reduces the risk of leaks or spills, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and protecting surrounding ecosystems.
By investing in KDV valves, mining companies can optimise their operations and align with sustainability initiatives without compromising performance.
