GEOBRUGG: FIRST PRODUCTION IN AFRICA

We are thrilled to announce the inauguration of Geobrugg’s first high tensile steel production facility on the African continent. Our offices in Lanseria (next to the airport) now host a TECCO machine (Speed 4) that allows Geobrugg Southern Africa to produce our own mesh and not be solely reliable on imports from Switzerland.

A second machine (Speed 5) will be commissioned in the last quarter of the year. With a factory staff of more than 50 people, this subsidiary has grown in stature in the last decade and is living up to the company’s claim of ‘Safety is our nature’. Our blast-on mesh had been installed in mines in the gold and platinum sectors in South Africa while we had been involved in open pit mining in other parts of Africa too.

Our sales team will be available at our stand during Electra Mining 2024 to tell you more about our products and work and share success stories with you.

DUST-A-SIDE: EVOLUTION OF BITUMEN SOLUTIONS

From 2021/22, Dust-A-Side has innovated its bitumen solutions to suit operations of different scales to assist clients through global economic volatility and raw materials indices fluctuations, while still maintaining a high standard of site dust suppression.

Initial success with Dust-A-Side LC 2021/22 paved the way for further advancements, such as Dust-A-Side Bio, earning the Product Innovation Award at Electra Mining 2022 – a testament to the in-house R&D team and laboratory.

Building on this, the existing HydroSperse product was optimised and successfully integrated into operational sites in 2023/24. Blending bitumen emulsion with lignosulphonate was a challenge, but a solution was achieved. HydroSperse is now the ideal choice for clients who have not seen long-term results from lignosulphonate alone. Unlike lignosulphonate, which functions as a binder but not a sealant, HydroSperse provides sustained dust suppression, enhancing driving surfaces.

REVOLUTIONARY INDUSTRIAL WELDING PPE

CHARNAUD®’s METAL-SAFE® Welding Conti Suit introduces a revolutionary new woven material, designed to shed molten metal droplets and protect against the hazards of welding without the need for leather protectors.

Industrial welding is highly hazardous and prolonged exposure to radiant heat and molten metal droplets means that commonly used cotton-based PPE only lasts 3-6 months. CHARNAUD®’s METAL-SAFE® Welding Conti Suit offers greater longevity – lasting up to 36 months in heavy welding contexts even with prolonged exposure to the harsh conditions of industrial welding. Greater longevity also offers a significant benefit when it comes to the cost of ownership.

Removing the need for protective overlayers means the CHARNAUD® METAL-SAFE® Welding Conti Suit offers improved ergonomics allowing for ease of movement and flexion. The CHARNAUD® METAL-SAFE® Welding Conti Suit is a single layer making it more comfortable and breathable, offering better heat management than its counterparts.  Visit CHARNAUD® at Hall 5 | D34.

VEGA FOR SMARTER MINING

In the mining sector, precise measurement is crucial from mineral extraction to worker safety and environmental stewardship. VEGA’s measurement technology supports all metal production processes, from ore mining to mineral processing. Accurate measurements are crucial for quantifying reserves, tracking extraction rates, and optimising blasting to maximise resource utilisation and extend mine life. Sensors monitor flow rates, pressure, particle size and temperature for optimal performance.

Safety in mines relies on accurate measurements of dust, gas and vibrations to prevent risks. Stockpile measurements prevent overloading while monitoring water, chemicals and environmental impact ensures compliance and responsible management. Cost savings come from minimising equipment downtime and extending equipment life through accurate measurement.

As mining evolves, smart sensors and real-time data analytics enhance optimisation and safety. VEGA sensors, essential in mining processes, ensure smooth operations and efficiency.  Visit VEGA at Stand no. B15.

Wherever bulk materials are transported, stored, or processed, damage and wear cause unplanned downtime and inefficient processes – losses that can now be avoided based on intelligent lining technology. The technology involves a plastic sheet equipped with sensors that monitor the condition of the sheet.

In mining, lining material protects underlying components and machines and – owing to its good sliding properties – ensures the smooth flow of bulk materials. The plastics processor Röchling Industrial has combined their lining material with sensors, Smart Matrox® is the name of the new intelligent plastic sheet.

TAKRAF’s strategy is providing support as close to its customers as possible, offering services from spares supply to refurbishments of machines thereby restoring or upgrading their original capability at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

Recently TAKRAF assisted two clients in refurbishing machines supplied by other OEMs – the replacement of the boom on an existing ash spreader at a power plant and the replacement of rolls on an HPGR for a Flourspar Mine.

Both projects were indicative of the demand for TAKRAF’s aftermarket services. TAKRAF’s range of services and support, includes project development, feasibility studies, planning, engineering and design, fabrication and component supply, supervision and commissioning, spare parts and aftermarket, inspection and maintenance, wear parts management and inspection, as well as debottlenecking, refurbishments and relocation assistance for all plants, systems and equipment covering various manufacturers.
