SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT

Bell Equipment, the distributor of Finlay mobile crushing and screening equip- ment in Southern Africa, has introduced an innovative new product born from a joint venture partnership with Finlay and Spaleck of Germany. The processing of what was once believed to be awkward materials, such as difficult and wet waste or demolition materials, is a thing of the past due now that Finlay, who are pioneers in mobile tracked equipment, have created a part- nership with Spaleck of Germany, who themselves are market leaders in static recycling technology. At the heart of this mobile plant, is a two-deck German-designed and con- structed high-performance screenbox. The unique stepped top deck design, combined with state-of-the-art flip-flow technology on the bottom deck, places the Finlay 883+ Spaleck into a class of its own. Its processing and application flex- ibility, make this machine an all-in-one mobile solution for processing difficult waste, recycling slag, construction and demolition waste, shredded metal, wood, compost, mulch, ores, coal and soil. Innovative Finlay option

Large-grained material can also be screened on a screening machine fitted with the Spaleck Flip-Flow screen deck. The screening deck, with its 3D screen segments, is positioned above the Flip- Flow screen deck to form a cascade and protects and reduces the stress on the Flip-Flow screen mats. The service life of these mats is therefore increased while optimal screening results are guaranteed. Thanks to their modular construction, the 3D screen segments with maximum open screen area, can be quickly changed when necessary. The screen mats of the 3D Flip-Flow screen, are fastened with- out screws and have no edges that could cause difficulties. The first Spaleck Screenbox in the southern African region has been retro- fitted onto an older Finlay 883 Screen. It is currently being deployed on a mine in Namibia where it is used as a scalper for producing gabion rock. According

Key features of the Finlay 883+ Spalek include virtually blockage-free screening in the upper and lower deck thanks to tried and tested 3D and Flip-Flow technology.

Paul Chappel, the Finlay regional sales manager supporting Bell Equipment, says the following about the Spaleck Screenbox: “We see the addition of the Spaleck Screenbox to our established Finlay machines as a value-adding exer- cise and believe that once the market is exposed to this state-of-the-art technol- ogy, there will be no limit to its applica- tion in the southern African market.” www.bellequipment.com

OMV opts for Twister VSI Highly-respected raw materials supplier and quarry operator, Oranje Mynbou en Vervoer (OMV) Company, has taken delivery of a Pilot Crushtec International Twister VS350 vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher. Pilot Crushtec International national sales manager, Nicolan Govender, believes that this sale serves to underpin the value of his company’s reputation for product quality and service. This is especially relevant as the Twister product range has been designed and manu- factured in-house. “The local market for VSI crushers is currently very competitive and the fact that an extremely capable and highly expe- rienced operator like OMV selected the Twister to increase its output speaks volumes for the company’s confidence in our product and ser- vice offerings,” he says. Govender adds that OMV is an existing Pilot Crushtec International customer and that the Twister will be working in a circuit of equip- ment, including a mobile cone crusher previously supplied by the Jet Park based-crushing and screening specialist. Additional factors that facilitated the sale of the product included competitive pricing, the ability to effect a prompt delivery and the fact that Pilot Crushtec International has a visible regional footprint in the area. The Twister VS350 supplied to OMV is a semi-mobile heavy-duty VSI for use in tertiary and quaternary crushing applications. It is designed to produce ‘in spec’ high quality cubically-shaped aggregate as well as consistently graded crusher sand, mortar sand, plaster sand and high quality concrete sand. www.pilotcrushtec.com
