AMPO POYAM VALVES STRENGTHENS ITS PRESENCE IN BRAZIL’S MINING DIVISION WITH HIGHLY ENGINEERED MRO VALVE SOLUTIONS

AMPO continues to consolidate its position as a key MRO partner for Brazil’s mining industry. In recent years, the company has achieved consistent growth in this strategic market, earning the trust of leading mining operators such as Anglo American, Samarco, Norsk Hydro, Vale and CBMM. Today, AMPO SERVICE supplies the main replacement valves for their annual maintenance programs across the country.

Installed in Critical Pump Stations Across Brazil

AMPO POYAM VALVES severe service valves are being installed in the main Slurry and Tailings Pump Stations (Angloamerican’s PS1 & PS 2, Samarco’s PS Mariana & PS Matipó, CBMM’s Araxá facilities and Vale’s stations) operated by the country’s top mining companies. These stations are vital assets in the transport of ore slurry, and each pump relies on five essential valves whose primary purpose is to safeguard pumping operations:

• Pump Suction Valve (low pressure)
• Pump Discharge Valve (high pressure)
• Three Drain Valves

In addition to these units, AMPO POYAM VALVES also supplies highly engineered block valves for the station’s main pipeline systems, further reinforcing operational safety and reliability.

Proven 50% Longer Service Life

AMPO POYAM VALVES severe service ball valves incorporate advanced engineering developed in-house to ensure maximum durability, efficiency and operational safety. These technological improvements have positioned AMPO as one of the preferred brands in Brazil’s mining sector, recognized for reliability in highly demanding conditions. Field performance data shows that AMPO POYAM valves installed in critical positions have demonstrated up to 50% longer service life compared to alternative solutions—an achievement that highlights the robustness of AMPO’s design and manufacturing capabilities.

Moreover, AMPO SERVICE is able to replace any installed valve on a “plug and play” basis, adapting its valve solutions to existing face-to-face dimensions and supplying customers with 100% compatible valves.

A Strategic Partner for Long-Term Reliability

With a growing presence and a strong reputation for reliability, AMPO remains committed to supporting Brazil’s mining operators with expert guidance, severe service solutions and continuous engineering support. This ongoing collaboration reaffirms the company’s leadership in the region’s mining industry and its dedication to enhancing the performance and safety of critical industrial operations.
