projections with accurate timeline predictions for parts replacement, thereby ensuring maxi- mum equipment performance and availability. Multotec’s composite screen deck designs will also be on show. The company has the in- house flexibility to optimise the performance of any screen by customising a solution specific to the needs of individual applications. There are no limits to its capabilities in this processing area with a range of products that extends from polyurethane to rubber and wedgewire. In the field of milling, Multotec has devel- oped a state-of-the-art technology which allows customers to monitor milling performance. Having recognised that this particular circuit can directly impact downstream recoveries, Multotec will highlight how its customised, integrated linear measurement reporting sys- tem delivers this functionality which will ultimately help improve the overall perfor- mance of any processing plant. Conveyor belt technology on show will include the MATO mechanical belt fastening system, which is produced using 75 % local content. It can deliver a seamless joint in less than 30 minutes, which is considerably less than the traditional hot splice method which can take up to six hours. Again, this solution from Multotec is assisting its customers reduce operational downtime. The system’s Lacer Head is interchangeable throughout its range of fasteners and lacing beds which reduces the number of tools and parts needed on hand. The MATO Wavemaster

Multotec Group says it will reinforce its industry-leading position within the minerals processing sector by dem- onstrating its in-depth knowledge and understanding of industry relevant topics and trends at this year’s Electra Mining Africa (EMA) exhibition.

I n response to the industry’s need for cost effective equipment and service in- novations aimed at delivering optimal processing efficiency, Multotec is offer- ing an added value attraction to its EMA stand this year. The group will host a series of talks, presentations and panel discussions at regular intervals throughout the week to edu- cate the sector and highlight its technological expertise across various minerals processing applications. The events will be presented by a number of local and international speakers from within the Multotec stable, as well as var- ious industry and institutional partners. Multotec will have a wide range of its pro- prietary technologies and solution driven equipment on display at EMA to demonstrate its high level minerals processing expertise. Among them will be the Hawkeye predic- tive maintenance for system for screening. Unplanned shutdowns, which often result in the costly loss of production hours, can be avoided using Hawkeye predictive mainte- nance services. Precise measurements based on wear rate history facilitate consumption

The primary and diagonal conveyor belt cleaners are part of Multotec’s comprehensive offering which ensures the highest belt opera- tional availability. On the back of significant success with the product, the company intro- duced the MATO secondary belt cleaner which incorpo- rates the unique, quick-change M-Track technology which features a slide-on-blade that
