Rugged actuation for mining and quarrying
Dewatering, process water and slurry valves operate in dust, vibration and remote locations. RIFT’s SMART actuators combine robust construction with diagnostics that reduce unplanned downtime.
Remote, harsh and expensive to visit
Mine sites spread over kilometres; a failed valve can stop production.
Typical applications
- Dewatering
- Process water
- Slurry lines
- Tailings management
- Dust suppression
Heavy dutyHow RIFT helps: Mining & quarrying
Robust housings
IP67/IP68 enclosures for dust and water.
Remote operation
Reduce trips to distant valves.
Diagnostics
Spot changes in valve behaviour early.
High torque
Up to 14,000 Nm across the range.
The RIFT stack, applied to Mining & quarrying
Add the layers your application needs. The actuator stays fully functional at every level.
