Valve for mining equipment

Valve for mining equipment are valves destined to use in mining. They are crucial parts of mining equipment's design and are widely exploited in mining.

Mining equipment is used to extract valuable minerals or other geological materials from the ground. Materials can vary and the most popular resources include an orebody, lode, vein, seam, reef, or placer deposit. Ores obtained by mining are metals, coal, gemstones, chalk, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. In a wider sense mining includes extraction of any non-renewable resource. Mining itself can be divided into two techniques, the first being surface mining, and the other sub-surface mining, also called underground mining.

Nowadays equipment used the most in mining is heavy machinery. It allows to explore and develop sites, to remove and stockpile overburden, to break and remove rocks, to process the ore. This creates a need for valves to be used in their hydraulic systems. Huge trucks, loaders, and cranes are employed in mining to move large quantities of overburden and ore. Processing plants utilize large crushers, mills, reactors, roasters, and other equipment, each of them using different kinds of valves.


Some of the most used machines in mining include cutting machines, ball mills, blasting machines, excavators, dragline excavators, drifter drills, drilling rigs, trucks, haul trucks, loaders, mills, raise borers, reclaimers, roadheaders, rockbreakers, roller mills, spreaders, stackers, and winding engines.

There are all sorts of different kinds of valves being used in mining equipment. The most used valves are gate valve, globe valve, check valve, plug valve ball valve, butterfly valve, needle valve, pinch valve, and pressure relief valve. Each of those valves has a different use case and a different purpose to fulfill.
