ON THE COVER: Crushing and screening giant, ELB Equipment, has completed the minerals processing equipment cycle with the addition of a complete range of high efficiency trommels that are set to change the way screening is done in South Africa.
Its Powerscreen scalpers and screens already dominate the local market and the addition of the world’s leading trommel manufacturer, MDS, is bound to close the circuit for miners who are already familiar with the ELB Equipment way and its high-quality minerals processing offerings that are predominantly derived from the Terex Corporation.
MDS track, static and recycling trommels, as well as apron feeders, are quick and can handle a wide range of media including blasted rock and riprap, as well as varying substrates such as clay, limestone and even recycled concrete rubble. But, most importantly, it is the new trommels’ ability to speed up processing and ability to handle oversize materials that is most exciting for the local market.
Committed to reducing total cost of ownership of mining tyres
Kal Tire offers best-in-class services to customers that relate to everything around the wheel. This not only includes the on-site services, but also includes tyres, rims and all accessories relating to these wheel components. OTR (off the road) tyre repairs is a key service offering that helps to minimise waste, but also serves to give a severely injured tyre a new life and reduce the operating costs of the mining operation. Modern Quarrying spoke to John Martin, VP Southern Africa – Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group about its service offering and how it can assist quarry operators.
The significance of warranties and aftermarket support in crushing and screening equipment
The high-stakes industry of crushing and screening necessitates equipment that consistently performs to the highest possible standard. This technology is paramount to operations across the mining, quarrying and construction sectors, and its ongoing performance is critical. Modern Quarrying spoke to Francois Marais, Sales and Marketing Director at Pilot Crushtec to delve deeper into the importance of these factors.
