MBE Minerals SA receives expertise and technical sup-
port from its worldwide network, including the MBE Coal and
Minerals Technology’s R&D centre in Cologne, Germany. The
R&D centre consults with customers from all parts of the world
with regard to optimum processing and this service is backed
up by an in-house laboratory facility and pilot test work capabil-
ities. The centre is also used as a training facility for customers,
either on general mineral processing or on the operation and
maintenance of specific MBE equipment.

number of our exhibitors will be from this sec-
tor, although it is difficult to be precise as so
many companies are active across both mining
and construction,” says Crewe.
Bell Equipment was one of the anchor
exhibitors in 2013 and, amongst other things,
unveiled its 60-ton B60 ADT, very definitely a
mining machine, at the event. This year it will
have an even bigger presence with its stand in
the outdoor area including a pre-production
large ADT from its latest E-series generation
of trucks. Other companies offering heavy
plant for mining will include Barloworld
Equipment, Case Construction Equipment, HPE
Africa, which markets and supports Hyundai
earthmoving equipment, JCB dealer Kemach
Equipment, Hitachi, Daewoo and Belaz (which
has the world’s biggest rigid dump truck in its
line-up).
The presence of Caterpillar dealer Barlo
world Equipment is a particularly exciting
development for BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA
as the company is one of the market leaders in
its field. The Caterpillar range it represents is
arguably the most complete line-up of products
for mining and construction available from a
single manufacturer.
On the underground mining side, a com-
pany to look out for will be Krugersdorp-based
AARD Mining Equipment, established under
A pre-production model
from the Bell E-series large
articulated dump truck
range will head up the com-
pany’s extensive product of-
fering that will be on display
at the show.
