Back to basics
Production people are no longer in control of the crushing industry. They are insufficiently trained and need to become part of the decision making process. Gert Coffee explains why it is important to train production teams in basic site management
New technology takes crusher design to new levels
Extec Screens and Crushers has raised the benchmark for crushing equipment design. The X44 SBS Cone Crusher combines mobility and high productivity with relatively low costs per ton
Locally manufactured cone crusher track unit
Designed by Osborn and manufactured at its Elandsfontein factory, the Osborn Track Cone 38 weighs in at 37 tons, with a feed capacity of more than 300 tons per hour
Sishen maintenance crane delivered
The third of four Condra maintenance cranes ordered last year for the Northern Cape project has been delivered. The 150 ton overhead crane was designed at the company's head office as a conventional double-girder overhead travelling crane, and manufactured entirely at its Elsburg works
