Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division has announced the release of CADWorx® Plant Design Suite 24, a complete solution suite for next-generation plant design.

Projects by two Master’s in Engineering students from Stellenbosch University, Yasmin de Raay and Chris Erasmus, have impressed the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (PAMSA) for their originality and relevance to the forestry sector, which play a key role in producing wood and paper.

“The circularity of our SKF solutions is very important and we pride ourselves on being a market leader in the sustainable development of bearing and power transmission products and solutions,” begins Micaela Willers, SKF SA’s manager for power transmission and training. This is highlighted by the recent development of the bar-setting SKF Infinium bearing design, which can be remanufactured an indefinite number of times using a unique cladding technology.

“Waste management tends to be oversimplified because many of the intricacies involved in managing industrial waste are viewed through the lens of household waste collection,” begins Ryan van Heerden, Senior GM for EnviroServ.

On 14 March 2025, Bi showcased its quality range of premium brand chain solutions – Kobo and Zexus – alongside its renowned private label offering – RCO (Roller Chain Opti). “The relaunch presented an ideal platform to share with internal and external stakeholders our dynamic chain growth strategy for 2025 and to provide more clarity on targeted market segments,” explains Bi’s Hilton Woest, Product Leader: Torque Transfer.

Water, wastewater and industrial effluent facilities face increasing pressure to develop sustainable and smart solutions to meet rising water demand and to tackle environmental issues.

Through advanced technology, digitalisation and sustainability-driven solutions, ABB is redefining what mining can achieve in Africa and beyond.

An innovative solution that is making waves in the pumping industry is KSB GIW^® SLYsight technology. This advanced slurry pump wear monitoring technology is changing the way pump wear is detected and managed and is leading to improved pump performance with longer equipment lifespans.

Dredging operations, whether in marine or mining environments, demand robust and reliable equipment engineered to withstand tough and abrasive conditions. Among the most trusted solutions in this field is the Toyo Heavy Duty slurry pump, which includes a hydraulically driven option for extreme conditions.

Based on mature, traditional technologies, WEC plants can all be customised and modularised to offer cost-effective, durable solutions, begins Wayne Taljaard, MD of WEC Water South Africa. “Modular solutions are often seen as quick ways to support capacity shortcomings and ageing infrastructure, but the modular wastewater plants we offer are much more than that. Some of our WEC Water plants were installed over 30 years ago and they are still working perfectly well today.”

South Africa’s adoption of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) mandates that all newly imported electric motors meet IE3 premium efficiency levels. SEW-EURODRIVE, however, has long been ahead of this curve, having standardised on IE3 motors more than eight years ago. The company’s commitment to sustainability ensured that its customers transitioned to the advanced technology without bearing additional costs.

Supply and logistics constraints, high costs and technological limitations are just some of the challenges encountered by AES as they assist an increasing number of clients to investigate the use of more environmentally sustainable, lower carbon fuel alternatives – thereby obviating the requirement to pay carbon taxes both locally and abroad.

Conveyor belts are crucial components in mining and heavy aggregate handling operations, where efficiency and reliability are paramount. However, these systems often encounter significant challenges, particularly in the loading zones where the impact of falling materials can cause severe belt damage. Tru-Trac’s EXHD dynamic impact idler bed offers a robust solution designed to protect belts and enhance system reliability in the most demanding applications.

Multotec is proud to announce its latest offering, a containerised demonstration plant, the TS 530L Tailings Decanter Centrifuge from its sister company Siebtechnik Tema. This advanced system is engineered to continuously separate fine solids from a liquid phase by applying centrifugal forces to a slurry stream.

Commissioning, particularly for water and wastewater treatment, can often be complex and time-consuming. However, the Micropilot FMR10B, FMR20B and FMR30B can streamline these activities with guided wizards, thus allowing quick and easy commissioning, even for advanced applications.

Minprotech, founded 12 years ago, was the first South African company to use WHIMS (wet, high-intensity magnetic separation) technology on chromite fines on a commercial scale. “We use Australian-manufactured equipment and apply our WHIMS expertise to build and operate successful chromite fines recovery plants. There are now seven operational WHIMS plants in South Africa in our care,” begins Minprotech director, Rudo Engelbrecht.
