MBE Minerals has supplied two vibrator mo-
tor powered 1,8 m by 4,5 m single deck hori-
zontal coal discard washing screens to a coal
mining operation in Mpumalanga.
The company has supplied screens with
side plate mounted drives to this mine for
nearly four decades. Graham Standers, MBE
Minerals’ Sales Manager: Vibrating Equip-
ment, says the mine recently had an addi-
tional requirement for vibrator motor driven
screens at one of its operations.
“This is the first time we’ve supplied the
mine with motor driven screens, which have
become one of our standard screen designs,”
Standers comments. “These units are fitted
with 10 kW vibrating motors. They are main-
tenance friendly and make for reduced down-
time to conduct drive replacements. One of

sites to monitor performance and advises on
optimisation and maintenance.
“This order strengthens our installed base
in the Central Basin coalfields and broadens
the range of standard screens we’re bringing
into this market.”
MBE Minerals manufactures screens for
the entire international group and the com-
pany’s screens have been operating in the
African mining industry for the past 40 years,
primarily in the coal, diamond and iron ore
sectors. Each screen is designed with sound
mechanical features including vibration
damping, side plates, cross members and
the appropriate feed and discharge chutes.
All types of screening surfaces can be ac-
commodated.
“With more than 400 vibrating screens in
operation in South Africa alone, we’re able to
assess and provide the competent expertise
and know-how in specifying and installing the
correct screen for any process application,”
says Standers.
MBE Minerals is currently involved in an
initiative to re-introduce its range of vibrat-
ing feeders, designed in Germany and locally
manufactured, to the local mining industry.
These feeders are available with feed capaci-
ties of 100 t/h up to 3 000 t/h and are suitable
for all applications where controllable dis-
charge of bulk materials is required.

OMSA has launched its own uniquely brand-
ed FPV range to the South African market.
The range which includes diaphragm, wedge
gate and pinch valves will be available via the
BMG network of outlets.
While still supplying valves from AVK, Inter
App, ITT, Praher and SED, OMSA says the
FPV valve range will be South African manu-
factured, thereby meeting the South African
Department of Trade and Industry’s mandate
for 80 % local content for government pro-
curement processes. OMSA will offer valves
that serve industry needs from entry level
through to niche market requirements.
The OMSA Group views this expansion of
its valve line-up as the way forward to market
expansion into sectors where less special-
ised valves are required, while still assuring
the customer of OMSA quality and technical
support.
The OMSA Group, known for its valve, fil-
tration, lubrication and instrumentation range
of products, recently merged with the BMG
Group and all OMSA products are now avail-
able through the extensive BMG network of
outlets.
