n response to the industry’s need for
cost effective equipment and service in-
novations aimed at delivering optimal
processing efficiency, Multotec is offer-
ing an added value attraction to its EMA
stand this year. The group will host a series of
talks, presentations and panel discussions at
regular intervals throughout the week to edu-
cate the sector and highlight its technological
expertise across various minerals processing
applications. The events will be presented by
a number of local and international speakers
from within the Multotec stable, as well as var-
ious industry and institutional partners.
Multotec will have a wide range of its pro-
prietary technologies and solution driven
equipment on display at EMA to demonstrate
its high level minerals processing expertise.
Among them will be the Hawkeye predic-
tive maintenance for system for screening.
Unplanned shutdowns, which often result
in the costly loss of production hours, can be
avoided using Hawkeye predictive mainte-
nance services. Precise measurements based
on wear rate history facilitate consumption
projections with accurate timeline predictions
for parts replacement, thereby ensuring maxi-
mum equipment performance and availability.
Multotec’s composite screen deck designs
will also be on show. The company 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.
In the field of milling, Multotec has devel-
oped 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 sys-
tem delivers this functionality which will
ultimately help improve the overall perfor-
mance of any processing plant.
Conveyor belt technology on show will
include the MATO mechanical belt fastening
system, which is produced using 75 % local
content. It 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.
The system’s Lacer Head is interchangeable
throughout its range of fasteners and lacing
beds which reduces the number of tools and
parts needed on hand.
The MATO Wavemaster

straight and smooth belt joints
flawlessly and consequently
eliminates joint failure.
Another product in the
belting field is the Mato belt
cleaning range. The primary
and diagonal conveyor belt
cleaners are part of Multotec’s
comprehensive offering which
ensures the highest belt opera-
tional availability. On the back
of significant success with the
product, the company intro-
duced the MATO secondary
belt cleaner which incorpo-
rates the unique, quick-change
M-Track technology which
features a slide-on-blade that

Multotec Group says it will reinforce its industry-leading
position within the minerals processing sector by dem-
onstrating its in-depth knowledge and understanding of
industry relevant topics and trends at this year’s Electra
Mining Africa (EMA) exhibition.
