Castings Services Group, (CSG) one of the UK”s leading suppliers of quality civil engineering products has expanded its offering for the bulk solids market over the last twelve months with the opening of a specialist new process valve and actuation division.
A traditional family run business, CSG and has been in operation for 30 years, providing products and services to a wide range of industries. The extended product portfolio features a comprehensive range of valves used in bulk solids applications including: paper, pulp, mining, waste-water, power, food and beverage, cement, clays, limerys and pottery slip.
Dave Warner, CSG Divisional Manager commented:
“Bulk Solids is a large growth area for CSG, our key products for this industry include the Orbinox Knife Valve, Alfa Butterfly Valve and Mueller Eccentric Plug Valves all of which are designed for general industrial service application and are resistant to abrasive medias, even under the most extreme conditions.”
The ORBINOX Knife Valve is used throughout the pulp, paper and mining industries, all major moving parts on the knife valve are external and do not come in contact with the materials being handled, consequently there is no recess to create a problematic build up of solids that would prevent the valve from closing.
The gate on the knife valve is stainless steel, highly polished on both sides allowing it to easily cut through solids without jamming, and bevel cut for a tighter seal. On request, thickness and material of the gate can be changed for higher-pressure requirements. ORBINOX automated valves are provided with gate guards in accordance with EU Safety Standards.
The Mueller Eccentric Plug Valve is used extensively in the ‘heavy end” of materials handling such as mining applications, to manage the flow of material through the pipes, offering a near linear flow curve making it ideal for isolation and control applications.
The plug valve can be lined for aggressive medias, and its bi-directional functionality effectively prevents material from settling inside the valve itself, thus keeping the bearings clear. The Mueller brand is a well-recognised name in the industry and is considered the benchmark in terms of plug valves.
The Alfa Butterfly Valves are effective in applications such as cement, clay and pottery slip. They are vulcanized with a bonded liner to reduce maintenance, enhance high flow performance, increase life expectancy and consequently lower running costs once fitted.
The vulcanised liner offers greater durability than loose lined butterfly valves, making it ideal for handling solid media. The vulcanization process results in an exceptionally strong and hardwearing product, offering excellent performance when tested for Shore Hardness and superior protection and resistance against aggressive media such as slurry, powder and cement.
