Electra Mining Africa 2010

September 2010 News

Taking place at the MTN Expo Centre, Nasrec, Johannesburg from 4-8 October, Electra Mining Africa is ranked as the second largest mining show in the world and, together with co-located shows Elenex Africa and Transport Expo Africa, will provide visitors with the platform to view a vast array of new innovations, products, services, technologies, trends and industry developments in the mining, construction, industrial and power generation industries.

Mining exploration equipment supplier Pacific Mining will launch its new water hammer at the big event. This South African design drills smoother, straighter holes with less noise and vibration than conventional drills. It is ideal for deep underground drilling and operates at less cost than a conventional drill. The company will also showcase a range of exploration machines, drill rigs and a crusher plant, for which it hopes to build market credibility and increased brand awareness through Electra Mining as it interacts with potential clients face-to-face.

Well established supplier to the cement and mining industries, Polysius will also be exhibiting some exciting products at the show. The company’s Polab Automatic Sample Preparation Module is the smallest laboratory automation system in the world. The module prepares samples for X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) using a grinding vessel for efficient yet smooth grinding. It is compact, quiet and quick, can handle a high sample throughput and is compatible with most analysis software. Visitors to the show can also expect to see a laboratory size Polycom high-pressure grinding roll (HPGR). HPGR technology has proven itself in the mining industry and is now used in hard rock operations like gold, copper, platinum and iron ore. The technology delivers low wear and low energy cost, complemented by high throughput and machine availability compared with that of ball mills.

SEW-Eurodrive will be exhibiting the new DR series range of motor, launched earlier this year. The range is extremely efficient, helping to optimise the energy consumption of each individual component by matching the drive technology to match the specific application. The new modular system for AC motors offers millions of drive combinations that can be used in many different applications. The full range of DR motor options is available in all efficiency classes and offers an ideally matched brake concept as well as encoders which are integrated in the motor. By combining all the different design requirements, this motor saves users time through optimised motor selection, ordering and logistics.

Together, Electra Mining Africa, Elenex Africa – internationally respected as the leading power generation, electrical engineering and lighting exhibition in Africa – and Transport Expo Africa, offer exhibitors and visitors the opportunity to make valuable business connections and provide a forum for discussing the latest developments, technologies, trends, products and services in various industry sectors.
