Reliable valve solutions for demanding mining, metals and steel applications
Our Neles™ and Jamesbury™ valves are built to perform and handle demanding media – from abrasive slurries to the corrosive chemicals used in numerous refining processes. A significant proportion of global metals production flows through our valves.
In gold production, Neles supplies valve solutions for processing plants using carbon-in-leach (CIL), carbon-in-pulp (CIP) or carbon-in-column (CIC) circuits. Our valves can handle the tough process environment created by autoclave pressure oxidation (POX).
In nickel production, Neles valves are found in conventional nickel processing as well as in autoclave high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) circuits.
In copper production, Neles offers valve solutions for copper concentrates production, smelting and electrolysis as well as for copper leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning.
We also work with many other minerals and metals processing plants including iron, aluminum, lithium, zinc, manganese, lead and silver, to name a few. Contact us to find out how we can improve your plant’s flow control.

Insights into mining, metals and steel
Valve management service provides production reliability for maintenance shutdowns at Outokumpu’s steel plant
The Outokumpu steel plant is an impressive sight next to the Gulf of Bothnia in Tornio. Despite being Outokumpu’s largest plant, it is very compact with everything close by. The plant produces stainless steel, and its history dates back to the 1960s. Its cooperation with Neles has spanned decades. “Cooperation has always been key,” says Aleksi Korteniemi, Category Manager, Outokumpu.

How does Neles partner with customers in the mining, metals & steel industries?
Valves are needed in minerals and metals processing industries. We asked Heikki Kärki, Industry Manager for the mining, metals & steel industries at Neles, to tell us more about the importance of valves in mining, and how we partner with our customers.
Correct valve installations double the operational lifespan at Tarkwa mine
Seemingly minor details can make a major difference in unplanned costs. Valves are small, yet essential part of mining industry processes, and if problems with the valves should occur, it can lead to unplanned downtime and the equivalent losses in output.
Availability service guarantees the delivery of valves to Terrafame mine in six hours
Availability service is a service format developed by Neles to guarantee that the client receives the necessary components within the required timeframe. Based on its agreement, Terrafame’s multi-mineral mine in Sotkamo gets new valves delivered within six hours.
