COVER STORY
AROUND THE GLOBE
A modular plant designed and built in South
Africa by Elandsfontein based manufactur-
er Osborn is currently being installed and
commissioned in snowy Siberia.
Osborn’s R11-million export order was for
a full modular plant for the Al Rosa iron ore
facility in Russia. It was shipped from SA
to the port of Magadan, then transported to
the plant, which is situated close to Vilyuyst
in Russia’s Siberia region.
Marketing director Martin Botha says that
Osborn’s robust equipment is ideally suited
for the harsh operating environment in Si-
beria, where temperatures drop to minus 40
degrees Celsius. The full modular plant at
the Al Rosa facility offers primary and sec-
ondary crushing and screening capabilities.
It features an Osborn 3042 Jaw Crusher, 6
x 20 triple deck screen and an Osborn 44H
Gyrasphere Cone Crusher. In addition to
this, Osborn has supplied a 5 x 14 screen.
In addition to the modular jaw, cone and
screening plants, Osborn also offers a full
quarry processing plant, by adding the new
Horizontal Shaft Impactor modular plant to
the set-up. Since adding the KPI-JCI Hori-
zontal Shaft Impactor to its equipment of-
fering, Osborn has seen demand for these
units grow and now has several operating
successfully in South Africa.
CZECH COMPANY MRÓZEK
AG TAKES DELIVERY OF
TEREX® AC 100/4L AND
TEREX EXPLORER 5800 ALL-
TERRAIN CRANES
The Czech crane service provider Mrózek
cannot deny having a certain predilec-
tion for Terex products: Along with the
Terex® AC 30, AC 40-1, AC 50-1, AC
120-1, and AC 350/6 cranes already in
operation, an AC 100/4L and an Explor-
er 5800 all-terrain crane are recent ad-
ditions to this company’s fleet. “Besides
their capacity and wide variety of potential
uses, it is largely the high dependability
of Terex products that we find convincing.
That is why we rely exclusively on cranes
from this manufacturer for capacity class-
es ranging from 30 to 350 tonnes,” says
Mrózek director of operations Adam Czyz
as justification for the purchase decision
made by his company.
The two cranes were handed over to
Adam Czyz and crane operators Frantisek
Jochymek and Martin Jursa at the Terex
factory in Wallerscheid. The handover was
handled by Andreas Schramm, the respon-
sible Global Sales Manager at Terex, and Dr.
Oldrich Schromazdil of Czech Terex dealer
ISOS Trade, which transacted the sale.
ISOS Trade, s.r.o., has been the official
Terex cranes dealer in the Czech Republic
and Slovakia since 1990 and is very familiar
with the conditions on these markets. “The
situation is currently very difficult in these
two countries,” explains Schramm. “We are
pleased to have found a dependable partner
there in ISOS Trade.”
