With a manufacturing legacy rooted in South Africa and a presence that spans the globe, Dual Valves has established itself as a premium provider of abrasion-resistant slurry solutions. For decades, the company has focused on the engineering challenges of the mining and minerals processing industries, developing a robust portfolio of over 48 specialised products designed to withstand the harshest operating environments on Earth.
At the heart of Dual Valves’ philosophy is the “One Stop Slurry Solution.” This approach ensures that every valve, from the flagship DFV model to the large bore pinch valves, is engineered with two primary objectives: increasing longevity and ensuring ease of maintenance in-situ. By prioritising these factors, the company helps mine operators minimise downtime and reduce the total cost of ownership in critical infrastructure. This dedication to quality is underscored by the company’s ISO 9001:2015 certification, ensuring that every product leaving the factory meets rigorous international standards.
While the company’s roots are firmly planted in Southern Africa, Dual Valves has evolved into a truly global entity. The company’s export footprint currently covers more than 50 countries, serving major mining hubs across every continent. From Australia to Chile to the diverse industrial landscapes of the United States, Canada, China, and Europe, Dual Valves’ technology is a staple in the global resource extraction sector. This international reach is supported by a sophisticated distribution network that ensures technical expertise and spare parts are available wherever slurry management is a critical priority.
The company’s success in these diverse markets stems from its ability to provide application-specific solutions. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, Dual Valves leverages its engineering expertise to tailor valves to the specific pressures, temperatures, and abrasive qualities of a particular site. This bespoke approach has led to the successful implementation of massive projects, including the installation of 900NB Flanged Knife Gate and 750NB Double Non-Return valves in high-demand environments.
In the context of the Namibian mining sector, a region known for its world-class uranium, diamond, and base metal operations, the need for reliable, high-performance valves is paramount. As mines move toward more automated and efficient processing, the reliability of the “slurry circuit” becomes the backbone of the operation. Dual Valves supports this region through its strategic partnership with Toolquip Namibia, the distributor for Dual Valves in Namibia.
This partnership ensures that Namibian mines have direct, local access to state-of-the-art technology and immediate technical support. By combining Dual Valves’ manufacturing excellence with Toolquip’s established footprint in Namibia, mining operations can benefit from shortened lead times and expert on-the-ground consultation. As Dual Valves continues to innovate, its focus remains on finding new ways to increase the quality and durability of its products, backed by a distribution network that understands the unique needs of the Namibian landscape.
