Good vibrations for Aury Africa at Electra Mining Africa 2016
26 July 2016: Leading screening and vibrating equipment solutions provider Aury Africa will showcase its capability to manufacture hand-poured polyurethane (PU) panels locally at Electra Mining Africa 2016. This offers significant cost-savings and enhanced quality for mining customers.
Aury Africa MD Mark Houchin reveals that the company has just commissioned a hand-cast gravity-pour PU facility. It previously imported all of its PU panels from its sister company in Tianjin, China.
“Aury China has supplied us with manufacturing equipment so that we can commence with local manufacture. This represents a major cost-saving, which will make our local products even more cost-competitive for our mining customers, and establish us as the leading local supplier,” Houchin comments.
Aury Africa will use Electra Mining Africa 2016 as a platform to showcase both its existing product range and its manufacturing and service support capabilities. The company produces a complete range of high-quality vibrating screens for the coal and minerals-processing industries.
Banana vibrating screens are available in single- and double-deck configuration, from 1.8 m x 4.8 m up to 4.8 m wide and 8.5 m long. Horizontal vibrating screens are available in single- and double-deck configuration, from 1.2 m x 2.4 m up to 4.3 m wide and 8.5 m long. High-frequency vibrating screens are available from 0.9 m x 1.8 m up to 2.4 m x 3.7 m.
Circular motion vibrating screens are available in single- and double-deck configuration, from 1.8 m x 3 m up to 3 m x 6.1 m. Flip flop vibrating screens are available in single-, double- or triple-deck configuration, from 1.5 m wide up to 12 m long.
Aury Africa is also able to supply a range of exciters to fit most OEM screen types. Consumable products available include intertank/interstage cylinder screens for classification, sieve bends and static panels for separation, and centrifuge baskets.
“Our engineering group has proven research and design capability, backed up by technical expertise from our Australian team, which has extensive experience in this field, gained through working with vibrating equipment in the mining industry for many years,” Houchin highlights.
Aury Africa has just established a branch in Mozambique, in line with its general expansion strategy on the continent. “There is a lot of good business to be found elsewhere in Africa. It is often easier to conduct business in some African countries due to there being less red tape, but at the same time it can be more difficult if the necessary infrastructure is not in place.”
Houchin elaborates that Aury Africa’s move to local manufacture has been welcomed by the mining industry, which is continually on the lookout to cut costs due to the ongoing global slump in commodity prices.
“Times are very tough at present. We have found that all of our existing customers have tightened their belts. On the other hand, we are also seeing a lot of new customers due to our attractive pricing,” Houchin points out.
Visit Aury Africa in Hall 5 Stand E24 at Electra Mining Africa 2016 from 12 to 16 September 2016 at Expo Centre Nasrec in Johannesburg. More information can be found at www.electramining.co.za.
