Becker Mining to showcase automation at Electra Mining
September 2016
News
Becker Mining South Africa will again showcase a wide range of mechanical, electrical and electronic products at Electra Mining. (Hall 6 Stand C18).
“Our display this year will showcase the company’s communication and automation solutions, energy distribution systems, mechanical, electrical and electronic mining products, as well as transportation and roof support systems,” says Tom Searle, senior general manager: mechanical, gold and export, Becker Mining South Africa. “In today’s severely depressed mining environment, we expect Electra Mining to provide important growth opportunities for companies in the mining and industrial sectors.
Through our global network of group companies, Becker Mining has endured difficult trading conditions in the mining industry. Although the local operation has been forced to downsize, measures are in place to optimise our production and sales capabilities, without compromising the quality of our products and services.
The company has also appointed specialist distributors to extend the supply and support of our products into the African market.
With the anticipated recovery of commodity prices, we predict an upturn in business, with increased awareness of safety and improved methods of preventing injuries and loss of life.”
Three wholly-owned South African companies manufacture Becker’s equipment: EMIS for electrical energy distribution systems; Bellambie Mining & Industrial for hoist rope attachments, roof support systems and lifting equipment; and Becker Electronics for electronic automation and communication systems. Additional specialised product solutions and services are sourced from operations abroad.
The company’s extensive product portfolio, which complies with government mining regulations and mining house specifications, includes shaft safety components, underground and tunnel supports, transport systems and communication and collision avoidance systems. The range also encompasses pumps, electrical and electronics systems, mechanical equipment, as well as lifting and maintenance equipment.
