Valves for Mining & Mineral Processing - Antofagasta
Antofagasta is the gateway to Chile's copper heartland, serving Escondida (the world's largest copper mine, BHP), Codelco's Chuquicamata, and the Spence, Mantoverde, and Centinela operations, plus the desalination plants and long-distance water pipelines that supply the high-altitude mines and the concentrate-export ports at Mejillones and Antofagasta; mining and mineral-processing service drives heavy demand for abrasion-resistant valves - ceramic-lined and rubber-lined knife gate, pinch, and slurry ball valves for copper concentrate, tailings, and slurry pipelines, high-pressure gate and ball valves for desalination and seawater RO and pipeline duty (duplex and super-duplex for seawater), and butterfly valves for process and cooling-water systems; severe abrasive and corrosive seawater duty requires hardfaced trims, duplex/super-duplex bodies, NACE compliance, and EN 10204 3.1 MTCs; Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Antofagasta mining, desalination, and port buyers with abrasion-resistant, slurry, and seawater-grade valve packages with full export documentation and fast delivery to northern Chile.
Knife gate valves, pinch valves, sleeved plug valves, and HDPE-lined butterfly valves for slurry, tailings, acid mine drainage, and CIP/CIL gold extraction circuits.
Mining & Mineral Processing Valves - Available in Antofagasta
Knife Gate Valve
PN 6 / PN 10 / PN 16Primary on/off isolation for slurry, tailings, and pulp lines - blade cuts through solids for positive shutoff
Pinch Valve
PN 6 / PN 10Zero internal obstruction - rubber sleeve pinches shut, ideal for high-solids abrasive slurries and tailings
Sleeved Plug Valve
PN 10 / PN 16Quarter-turn isolation with PTFE or rubber sleeve for corrosive mine process chemicals (cyanide, acid leach)
HDPE-Lined / PVDF-Lined Butterfly Valve
PN 10 / PN 16Corrosion-resistant isolation for acid mine drainage (AMD), sulphuric acid leach, and electrowinning circuits
