The Aranzu Dump Valve can be used in Paste Backfill Systems; Slurry and Process Pipelines; Blockage Management Plans, and Underground Borehole Management - thats a tall order!

That's why all of our Dump Valves undergo rigour hydrostatic testing. The process ensures that when the valve gets to you, on your mine, you can confidently install.

Fritz Van Sittert was recently in Tanzania with our in-country partners, Cope International. The team travelled to North Mara Mine and Geita Mine.

Fritz is currently writing up his travelog of his experience and we look forward to sharing this with you soon!

For now, we can share these photos!

Backfill quality starts long before it goes underground.

Aranzu’s Containerised Backfill Curing Facilities are designed to ensure accurate and reliable curing conditions for mine backfill samples. By maintaining a controlled temperature range and regulating humidity, the facility allows operators to replicate underground mine conditions for precise quality control testing.

This controlled environment ensures backfill samples cure at the specified temperature, helping laboratories and operations teams confidently evaluate backfill performance before it is used underground.

Samples can be cured in free-draining cylindrical moulds or standard concrete cube moulds, providing flexibility for different testing requirements.

This results in better testing accuracy and improved process control. Reliable testing leads to stronger, safer mining operations.

Pipeline failures in slurry and process systems are not just inconvenient. They are costly, disruptive, and potentially dangerous.

The Aranzu HDPE Wear Indicating Pipe Spool is designed to eliminate the guesswork.

Joshua Asquith explains how, installed in straight sections of HDPE pipelines, this innovative spool continuously monitors internal pipe wear. When the pipeline reaches its safe wear limit, the integrated sensor system automatically communicates with the control room and triggers an alarm. This early warning allows operators to act before pipeline integrity is compromised.

The result?
Less downtime.
Lower maintenance risk.
More predictable operations.

Designed to fit any HDPE pipe size or pressure rating, the wear indicating spool integrates easily with existing SCADA and control systems, providing real-time monitoring and reliable alerts.
