Metso used Eelctra Mining to showcase its
complete portfolio of wear parts ranging
from grinding media, through to screening
media and lining products. These included
Metso’s haul truck liners, protective lining for
crushers and the company’s 305 x 305 mm
screening media panels, Trellex 305PS.
Trellex 305PS is a modular system that
improves screening processes, thanks to
its long wear life and flexibility. Trellex
Poly-Cer is designed to be resistant to
abrasion even in high material flows and
speeds, according to Michael Gyberg,
global support manager Nordics, Europe,
Africa & Middle East for Screening Media
and Lining Solutions at Metso. The unique
design of ceramic inserts improves wear
life and impact resistance. Poly-Cer also
reduces noise and vibration.
Meanwhile, Mesto also showed its Haul
Truck Solution, a rubber lining solution said
to be four to five times stronger than steel.
“Customers from all around the world have
found that Metso rubber bed linings for
mining haul trucks have been proven to last
at least four times longer than steel. The
liner also dramatically improves the working
environment for the operator by reducing
vibrations by more than 95% and cutting the
perceived noise in the cabin by 50%,” says
Gyberg. “This helps increase availability
of trucks as well as average payload and
reduce the risk for work related injuries,”
says Gyberg.
The modular design makes the lining
easier to install and maintain than steel
options, with the possibility to only replace
individual modules instead of the entire
lining. You can easily arrange for the quick
change-outs when the truck is in the repair
centre for regular engine maintenance. The
result is shorter replacement and installation
time compared with steel lining.
Metso also showed its protective lining
solutions for crushers, said to offer four
times or more wear life compared with steel
lining. Long wear life in combination with
quick and safe change-outs keep downtime
to a minimum.
Meanwhile, Metso’s new generation
of crusher upgrades aim to increase
productivity by up to 30%, while also reducing
maintenance costs and bringing equipment
into line with enhanced safety practices.
The upgrades are available for Symons and
Nordberg cone crushers, and Superior gyratory
crushers. They are offered in packages that
are easy to use; every kit includes clear
installation instructions or alternatively
Metso can provide the customer with a field
service team for support or for the complete
installation.

ExxonMobil, one of the largest international
oil and gas companies, used Electra Mining
to show a range of its lubrication solutions
for the mining industry. The Mobilith SHC
220 is part of ExxonMobil’s comprehensive
range of high performance lubricants said
to have been designed to help optimise
the productivity and efficiency of mine site
operations when compared to conventional
greases.
Mobilith SHC 220 is a high performance
synthetic grease designed to perform in
demanding applications and at extreme
temperatures. It is part of a comprehensive
offer to the mining industry, which includes:
• Mobil SHC 600 Series – Mobil SHC 600
oils can deliver a service life up to six
times longer than competitive, mineral
oil-based, gear and bearing lubricants.
In independent university laboratory
testing, and statistically validated field
tests, the Mobil SHC 600 Series have
demonstrated their ability to deliver an
energy saving of up to 3,6%.
• Mobil DTE 10 Excel Series – High
performance hydraulic oils that provide
long oil life and help minimise deposit
formation in severe hydraulic systems. In
controlled laboratory efficiency testing,
Mobil DTE 10 Excel was measured to
provide up to a 6% improvement in
hydraulic pump efficiency.
• Mobil Delvac – A fully synthetic, high
performance heavy-duty diesel engine
oil that helps extend engine life while
providing long drain capability and
potential fuel economy for modern diesel
engines operating in severe off-highway
applications. It is said to maintain
sound performance at significantly
higher temperatures than other high-
performance diesel engine oils. It is also
fully compatible with conventional oils.

ELECTRA MINING REVIEW IN BRIEF
JVT Vibrating Equipment is now
JOEST South Africa
The JOEST Group used Electra Mining to
announce JVT Vibrating Equipment’s name
change to JOEST South Africa following
its Supreme Court victory in an appeal over
name rights. The Supreme Court of Appeal
of South Africa has confirmed that JOEST
Kwatani had no rights to use the name
JOEST after the license agreement ended
in 2012 and all technology and support,
including the vibrating drives manufactured
by JOEST had been stopped. “We are sorry
for the confusion of our customers because
we are dedicated to the African market
since the 70’s and will further expand our
local presence with local manufacturing,
a service network and an extensive stock
of spare parts we have,” says Dr Hans
Moormann, chairman of the Board and
majority owner of the JOEST group.
Boosting efficiencies in minerals
processing
Responding specifically to customer
requirements, SEW-Eurodrive’s new
X-series Agitator, showcased at Electra
Mining Africa 2016, features an integrated
Extended Bearing Distance (EBD). This
means it consists of a standard gearbox
with a modified output side to increase
the radial and axial forces. The distance
between the low-speed shaft bearings has
been increased, while bearings with larger
dynamic capacities have been used.
“An integration of the EBD with
