Expansion of a mine for gold production

During gold mining, extremely abrasive media are conveyed through the pipelines. Solids and corrosive substances such as sulfuric acid or sodium chloride attack the valves and must not be allowed to reach the atmosphere. High temperatures and pressures as well as relatively frequent opening and closing additionally stress the valves.

Almost all the valves manufactured for the expansion of the Çöpler mine are customized products. The most robust knife gate valves in the Wey range were used in the form of the W and HD series. Special materials, coatings and accessories make them extra resistant to corrosive acids, abrasive solids, high operating pressures up to 80 bar and temperatures of up to 220°C.
