The ORBINOX PA pinch valve (Ser. 78) delivers a service life six times longer than the previous solution in the feed column of the flotation lines.

The world largest copper producer, located in Chile, was using pinch valves with a service life of only two months. The flotation feed columns required a more reliable valve solution. ORBINOX proposed installing our PA (Ser. 78) Pinch valves, specifically designed for severe slurry applications. After 13 months in service, the valves continue to operate with optimal performance.
