Sandvik Rock Processing’s facility is a benchmark for precision and quality in screen media manufacturing.

aligned with Sandvik’s global standards with respect to raw material procurement. “Our screen media is a high-quality prod uct designed and manufactured to meet our customers´ demanding applications requirements. Being an important part of all vibrating equipment, our screen media panels are designed to achieve optimised screening results, maximum production performance and lowest possible total cost of ownership,” she assures. “As an OEM of both vibrating screens and screen media, we understand screen dynamics and the challenges experienced on mine sites. Without fit-for-purpose screen media, vibrating screens cannot function properly. The aperture size, shape and ri gidity/flexibility of each panel then plays a vital part in achieving optimal screening and preventing issues such as pegging, which will rapidly reduce screening efficiency,” she explains. Only once the media and the vibra tion parameters are properly matched can the full screening performance be realised,” argues Motsamai. Local supply, she continues, offers benefits such as shorter lead times, lower transportation costs and better collabora tion with local suppliers. “By increasing our local supply offering, Sandvik Rock Processing is supporting the local economy while reducing environmental impact due to shorter transportation routes. Localisation also overcomes the emerging risks of sup ply chain disruptions, longer lead times and increase transportation costs for imported screen media,” she adds. “Innovation is the cornerstone of our company,” says Steinmann. “Our R&D drives the development of the solutions we offer and our global team of R&D engineers are working on several projects which are in various stages of completion, which will be launched in due course,” he concludes. www.rockprocessing.sandvik
