Flowrox expands operations on the mainland

Pumps and valves from Finland are helping to maintain a steady flow of wearing materials processed by industries on the mainland. Flowrox, a specialised producer of industrial pumps and valves, will be expanding its operations to provide broader customer support and products that will also be distributed throughout Asia.

Flowrox has kept mining, minerals processing and metallurgical companies running smoothly for 30 years. Its extensive experience in varied industries enables it to advise clients requiring customised systems. Together with its valve and pump solutions, Flowrox offers consultancy to help companies that deal with abrasive media and to boost their process reliability, energy efficiency and productivity.

"Flowrox is well positioned to address all those energy efficiency and productivity points that are in China's 12th five-year plan," says president and CEO Heikki Hyttinen.

Most of Flowrox's products are tailor-fit to customer specifications. The company refers to its own application experience and expertise to help clients choose the right pumps and valves and replace underperforming parts. Flowrox also leverages its rubber and elastomer expertise for its valves and pumps, which are designed to protect against dirt, wear and jamming.

"We work with customers who want to improve the process reliability and productivity of their process plants, and we help them reduce their total cost of ownership if they invest in our solutions," Hyttinen says.

Companies using Flowrox's valves and pumps are able to process materials at higher concentrations and as such, improve the yield and capacity of their existing process equipment.
