Actuators and Valves

Winn-Marion trusts products manufactured by ABB and Valmet to control the flow of materials, fluids, and gases throughout various mining processes. Actuators are necessary to manage the movement and precise positioning of heavy machinery. Pneumatic and hydraulic actuators regulate equipment used in separation processes, while damper actuators govern airflow in underground mines. Other types deliver water or fire-retardant materials when needed, control the flow of waste materials, and ensure proper ventilation and safe working conditions.

Valmet also offers recognizable brands Jamesbury™/Neles™/ and Flowrox™.  Control valves to manage water flow and regulate chemical additives are mandatory in dewatering systems or processing circuits. Emergency shutdown valves can quickly stop processes in case of accidents or equipment failures. Slurry pinch valves and knife gate valves by Flowrox™ are particular favorites, designed for demanding applications, including abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders, or granular substances.

We’re here to help you find the best valve and actuator systems to ensure your project is safe and well-controlled.

Meters and Pumps

Accurate measurement, monitoring, and tracking of numerous processes is mandatory in all types of mines. These instruments must be reliable and robust to ensure efficiency and quality of the minerals and substances involved. ABB offers over a century of flow measurement and control experience we can leverage as a longstanding Value Provider. Water management, slurry transport and process functions require pumps to transfer mineral concentrates through pipelines, remove groundwater and power equipment. The best selections in the business are Flowrox™ industrial pumps, offered by Valmet. These bad boys deliver comprehensive solutions for tough industrial applications. Recently, we’ve discovered the SDM ECO by Rhosonics as the best slurry density meter on the market.  This instrument uses a non-intrusive ultrasonic sensor to measure the real-time density of mineral slurries under high-density levels and at very large pipes.

Gas Detection and Analyzers

Monitoring safety conditions and process efficiency is essential in mining operations. , Detection instruments in underground mines identify explosive gases like methane and toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. In addition, they protect workers by monitoring oxygen levels in confined spaces. In processing plants, analyzers control combustion processes, monitor exhaust gases, and check levels in specific operations like pressure oxidation circuits and gold processing.

ABB offers robust solutions, and smaller systems by Drager and Conspec help control ventilation systems, monitor processing operations, and verify safe conditions. These are crucial for regulatory compliance and environmental reporting. Furthermore, they serve as an early warning, detecting developing hazards, equipment problems, ventilation issues and chemical leaks. Gas analyzers also support maintenance activities by diagnosing engine problems in mining equipment, monitoring filter performance and checking for gas leaks.

The specific type of gas detection and analyzers required depends on which gases need to be monitored and the required accuracy and response time for each application. Winn-Marion has years of experience assessing the specific type and placement of instruments best suited for your mining operation.

Data Radios

Data radios are crucial tools in any industry, but specifically in mining operations. They enable real-time communication during emergencies and provide reliable contact between surface and underground teams, especially in areas without cellular coverage. Radios by Rajant or Freewave support remote equipment control and monitoring, allowing real-time tracking of equipment health, fleet management, and production data from mobile equipment. They’re also important for environmental monitoring by transmitting data from gas detection systems, ground movement sensors, ventilation systems, and water quality monitors. Data radios are particularly valuable in mining because they can operate reliably in harsh underground environments. They function over long distances in open pit mines and provide communication where wired solutions aren’t practical. If you want to leverage modern mining technology, Winn-Marion can source the right radio for your operations.

Everything Else

The mining industry relies on a multitude of various products to help optimize processes, ensure safety and maintain efficient operations. Integrated into mining operations’ control systems, these instruments often connect to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for real-time monitoring and control. Because they must be reliable, accurate and durable, Winn-Marion is selective about the manufacturers we partner with to develop our solutions.
