The SKG Valve range, developed and manufactured by Dynamic Fluid Control (DFC) in South Africa, is designed for tough industrial and mining environments where durability, reliability and ease of maintenance matter most
Engineered with field-replaceable heavy-duty sleeves and gates, the SKG series delivers long service life, simple maintenance and minimal downtime all critical in demanding applications such as slurry pipelines, bulk-material handling systems and effluent lines.
At DFC, our purpose is to solve persistent valve-challenges: unwanted leakage, high maintenance cycles, and expensive unplanned shutdowns. The SKG brand embodies that purpose: providing valves with the lowest cost of ownership, the highest operational reliability, and the minimum lifetime maintenance burden.
One of the distinguishing strengths of the SKG range is its field-replaceable components specifically the heavy-duty elastomer sleeves and optimizing gate construction. This means when wear or abrasion from the media impacts the internals, those elements can be replaced onsite with minimal disruption. The result: reduced maintenance costs, fewer service hours, and extended asset life.
Because these valves are locally manufactured, DFC is able to offer prompt support, customised configurations and fast lead-times, an important advantage in urgent mining or industrial scenarios.
The SKG series has been engineered to excel in environments where standard valves struggle abrasive media, entrained solids, wet or dry service and high operational demands.
Bi-directional sealing ensures the valve reliably shuts off flow in either direction, preventing leakage downstream and offering flexibility in installation orientation. The selection of high-quality elastomer sleeves and gates protect the valve internals from corrosion, abrasion and mechanical stress.
A rugged yoke and gate seal assembly ensure structural stability. The design also prevents buildup of solids (which can inhibit closure) by eliminating traditional seat cavities thereby preserving full gate performance over time. With no metal-to-media contact in some configurations, wear is minimized and operational life extended.
The SKG valve family is available in multiple configurations to meet a wide variety of process requirements. Whether manual handwheel, gearbox, pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuation is required, the SKG series delivers with consistent performance and adaptability.
Typical industrial applications include:
- Mining slurry lines and bulk-material transfer pipelines
- Effluent and wastewater isolation valves
- Chemical processing systems handling aggressive or abrasive media
- Industrial plant pipelines requiring reliable shut-off in wet or dry conditions
Because maintenance is often difficult and expensive in such environments, choosing a valve with low‐maintenance design and easily serviceable parts like the SKG can significantly reduce total lifetime cost and operational risk.
