Multotec Group will reinforce its indus-
try-leading position within the miner-
als processing sector by demonstrat-
ing its in-depth knowledge and understanding
of industry relevant topics and trends at this
year’s Electra Mining Africa (EMA) exhibition.
In combination with a range of technological-
ly innovative equipment solutions on display,
the group will showcase its ability to assist
the mining industry to achieve its minerals
processing goals. In response to the indus-
try’s need for cost effective equipment and
service innovations aimed at delivering opti-
mal processing efficiency, Multotec is offering
an added value attraction to its EMA stand in
Hall 6 at Nasrec this year.
Multotec’s technology division
Multotec’s approach to technology management,
supported with a test facility focused on
innovation and verification, is a reflection of
its business philosophy – to differentiate itself
with a professional knowledge of process
technology, pioneering products and solutions
as well as excellent service.
Hawkeye predictive maintenance for
screening
Unplanned shutdowns, which often result in
the costly loss of production hours, can be
avoided using Multotec’s Hawkeye predictive
maintenance services. This forms part of
Multotec’s service offering for customers.
Precise measurements based on wear rate
history facilitate consumption projections
with accurate timeline predictions for parts
replacement, thereby ensuring maximum
equipment performance and availability.
Multotec mill lining value added services
Multotec has developed a state-of-the-art
technology which allows customers to monitor
milling performance. Having recognised that this
particular circuit can directly impact downstream
recoveries, Multotec will highlight how its
customised, integrated linear measurement
reporting system delivers this functionality
which will ultimately help improve the overall
performance of any processing plant.
Composite screen deck designs
Multotec has the in-house flexibility to
optimise the performance of any screen by
customising a solution specific to the needs
of individual applications. There are no limits
to its capabilities in this processing area
with a range of products that extends from
polyurethane to rubber and wedgewire.
MATO belt fastening systems
The MATO mechanical belt fastening system,
produced using 75% local content, can deliver
a seamless joint in less than 30 minutes,
which is considerably less than the traditional
hot splice method which can take up to six
hours. Again, this solution from Multotec is
assisting its customers reduce operational
downtime.
MATO belt cleaners
The primary and diagonal conveyor
belt cleaners are part of Multotec’s
comprehensive offering which ensures the
highest belt operational availability. On
the back of significant success with the
product, it introduced the MATO secondary
belt cleaner which incorporates the unique,
quick-change M-Track technology which
features a slide-on-blade that further
reduces maintenance downtime.
New Multotec Tornado (T-range)
cyclones
Multotec will showcase its T-range series of
26" (T660) cyclones at EMA. These cyclones
are ideal for brownfield operations, an area
which is rapidly gaining momentum in the
mining industry in a low capital expenditure
environment.
Multotec slurry pumps
The Multotec slurry pump range on show can
be customised to suit specific operational
requirements. Impeller material flexibility
assists in this process and further ensures
optimal performance from the pump across
any application.
Multotec rotating cone sampler
The rotating cone sampler is a patented
Multotec technology which overcomes the
limitations of fixed cutter or pressure pipe
probe designs.
Multotec pulping chute
Multotec’s pulping chute is a viable
alternative to conventional rotary scrubbing
units and is particularly effective in the
diamond industry. The total range of benefits
offered by this equipment makes it ideal
for both local and remote African mining
sites. The chutes have no moving parts
reducing spares stockholding requirements,
are power efficient, safe to operate, easy
to maintain and have a significantly lower
cost of ownership to conventional rotary
scrubbers.
The MultoCano chute system
The MultoCano chute system offers real on-
site benefits which are realised even before it
reaches site. Suitable for transport on a regular
flatbed truck (with less rigging equipment
and personnel), it offers significant transport
saving costs. It is also easy to offload with just
a forklift. A team of three can comfortably
assemble the chute system on site, even in
confined spaces. It is easy to extend and the
modular panel design ensures fact and easy
replacement. b
MULTOTEC CEMENTS ITS POSITION
at industry forefront
Water treatment and metals recovery are part of
Multotec’s solutions for the mining industry.
Multotec’s engineering support provides continual
performance monitoring and optimisation.
Spirals specifically benefit from test work
because results cannot easily be predicted using
mathematical modelling alone.
