From bulk handling to chain conveyors, Bühler Johannesburg will exhibit its specialised solutions at a range of key regional MTE (Mining & Technical Exhibitions) events, from Limpopo to Zimbabwe and Zambia. The focus is on Bühler’s conveyor chain product range and accompanying service and maintenance offering.
“The MTE expos provide valuable opportunities for industry professionals to connect, learn about innovations, and showcase their products and services,” comments Louis Anderson, CS Sales Manager, Bühler Johannesburg.
Bühler’s chain conveyors set new standards for service life, sanitation, and versatility, with throughputs of up to 1 200 tph. Bühler Johannesburg provides sales and aftersales service across Sub-Saharan Africa. Its professional service engineers are available 24/7 to assist in reducing plant downtime.
In addition, Bühler Johannesburg offers project execution services for smooth implementation of client solutions. The Johannesburg location houses state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities that also supplies assemblies for machines and production plants globally. Bühler has service stations in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Lusaka, and Maputo that offer spare and wear parts, roll re-fluting, and die refurbishment.
Bühler will exhibit at the following regional MTE expos:
Gweru, Zimbabwe, 30 July: Gweru in central Zimbabwe is home to the Unki Mine, one of the largest platinum reserves in the country, producing around 6 000 oz/y. The mine is a mechanised, trackless, bord-and-pillar underground operation.
Selous, Zimbabwe, 1 August: Selous Metallurgical Complex (SMC), about 77 km north of the underground operations at Ngezi, is largely owned by Zimplats, which operates four shallow mechanised mines and a concentrator at Ngezi.
Solwezi, Zambia, 18 September: Solwezi is home to the Kansanshi copper-gold mine, the largest copper mine in Africa. Since it commenced operation in 2005, Kansanshi has attracted significant investments and expansions. The exhibition showcases various products and services related to the mining industry, including conveyor systems.
Kitwe, Zambia, 20 September: Kitwe is the second-largest city in Zambia, with a complex of mines on its north-western and western edges. Notably, Mopani Copper Mines has invested about $1.3 billion in mining operations in Zambia, with main operations at Mufulira and Nkana. These operations include underground mines, concentrators, smelters, and acid plants. Additionally, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) operates open-pit and underground mines at Nchanga and Konkola.
Lephalale, Limpopo, 7 November: Lephalale is a coal mining town east of the Waterberg Coalfield and west of the Mokolo River. The local economy is supported by mining, tourism, agriculture and electricity production. Mines include Exxaro’s open-pit Grootegeluk and Thabametsi. The major power stations in the region are Medupi and Matimba.
MTE (Mining and Technical Exhibitions) celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. Since 1993, it has organised exhibitions at mines and industrial operations across Southern Africa. “If you are interested in mining, technology and industrial solutions, such events are certainly worth exploring. The MTE expos are a must,” concludes Anderson.
