Local is Superior

摘要

Valve manufacturers, who know their products and their applications inside out, should be the springboard for engineers seeking guidance in choosing the right product. A valve manufacturing company that not only practises this principle, but has also extended its product range in recent years to offer a comprehensive range of valves, is DFC Mining in Sebenza near Johannesburg. "SA Mechanical Engineer" speaks to Pat Stander, managing director, about the latest developments in the local valve industry. "Since buying out Insamcor, a local manufacturer of knife-gate valves, we've also acquired an American company, RF Technologies, known worldwide for their range of pinch valves," he says.
