Iron Ore

Iron Ore customers are challenged to find cost effective technologies to mine and process more efficiently.


As the price of iron ore continues to move, owners and operators are seeking ways to run their plants more productively to maximize return.  Pentair’s valve and control products are engineered specifically to withstand the abrasive nature of iron ore mining and processing and operate at increased pressure ranges, extending the product lifespan.  As a result, customers avoid additional costs associated with expensive downtime for replacements and repairs.  We combine superior service and technical support with a range of products that can be customized as required and are designed to meet applicable environmental standards.   Key products include:

  • With proper installation and care, Clarkson Slurry Isolation valves become a valuable asset to the customer and depending on specific application, can last for years in service before needing repairs.
  • Clarkson C Controls, which have full controllability and allow the flow area to remain round and are designed to be longer lasting and help customers by reducing wear on the valve and smoothing pipeline flow.
  • Keystone Rubber Seated Butterfly valves, used to isolate and control flow.
  • Clarkson High Pressure Slurry valves have a lower cost of entry, a high value proposition, are lighter in weight, less bulky to install and with proper installation, can offer years of maintenance free service life in selective applications.
All of these products can be sold to customers around the world through our global mining team’s local sales and support network.
