OSBORN’S SA-DESIGNED AND BUILT MODULAR PLANT INSTALLED IN SIBERIA

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.

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.
