Importing the wedge wire from China gives Aury Africa the competitive edge over companies that import from Europe, states Aury Africa MD Mark Houchin. “We are able to leverage the Chinese economy of scale and cheaper production costs to bring our product to the various industries we serve in South Africa without compromising on quality in any way whatsoever, as all imported wedge wire is manufactured according to international ISO 9001 quality standards.”

Wedge wire is used in equipment such as; vibrators, shakers, centrifugal dryers, filters, pressure sieves, cyclones, mills, feeders, trommels and strainers. As a result, key industries are the coal processing, gold and mineral processing sectors. However, wedge wire has many uses in the grain, pulp and paper processing, fertiliser, animal feed, malting, brewing and chemical industries too.

All Aury Africa standard wedge wire sheets are available in 220 cm x 220 cm dimensions, before being cut to size according to customer specifications. “We are also able to add flat-bar frames and supports to flat pieces of wedge wire in order to make static panels, as well as add polyurethane borders to wedge wire to make polywedge panels,” notes Houchin.

Houchin adds that Aury Africa boasts the capacity to roll out various diameters of wire sheeting to create cylinders or sieve bends to specifications, and the company imports a range of wedge wire centrifuge baskets too. “It’s all about engineering a winning solution to existing plant maintenance issues to provide higher up time, while ensuring lower site costs.”

Looking to the future, Houchin is optimistic of growth. “There is always a need for mining, sorting and separating, which means that we will continue to create products that cater to specific needs. Our design engineers combine traditional vibrating technology with cutting edge design techniques to produce products that are robust, reliable, efficient and cost-effective,” he concludes.
