Clyde Non-Ferrous Overview - Clyde Process Limited - #2

inflatable seal mechanism, ensuring that a consistent pressure tight seal is created when the valve is in the closed position, but in the open position, it provides an unrestricted full bore opening for the best product flow possible.

Clyde has developed pneumatic conveying and injection solutions for non ferrous producers that have the ability to:

• Convey and inject metal concentrates, ores, mattes, white metal, silica, coal, dusts, reverts, other additives, alumina, fluorides, cryolite and recycled scraps including aluminium process arisings and electronic materials - the key materials used in the production of non-ferrous metals

• Provide solutions for copper, nickel, zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and platinum producers

• Provide solutions, regardless of process employed, including Flash, TSL, Mitsubishi, Teniente or Noranda Converters, Anode furnaces, aluminium pot lines, carbon houses

• Submerged stable pulseless lance injection for bath processes

• Stable and pulseless burner feed for flash type processes

• Stable and pulseless tuyere injection to fumers

• Stable and pulseless tuyere injection to Pierce Smith and Anode Furnaces

• Transport an array of aluminium refining materials
