Modular separation plant offers flexibility

done under supervision of FLSmidth tech- nical personnel who will hot commission the plant. The equipment technologies selected for the modular plant are all from FLSmidth and interface optimally with the RC. This ensures the feed material is correctly pre- pared prior to reporting to the RC so that it operates correctly and to specification. In addition to the operational advantages that come with using technologies from one source, customers can leverage this single point of contact from an on-site sup- port perspective as well. Typically, the modular fines separa- tion plant would include pumps, screens, dewatering equipment, cyclones and conveyors. The entire modular RC plant is automated using advanced instrumenta- tion and control. All process parameters are monitored to ensure optimum per- formance. This allows for more consistent operation and therefore better recoveries. The modular RC plant can also be inte- grated into a brownfields plant where the RC is retrofitted to replace less efficient technology. Terence Osborn, FLSmidth, tel (+27 10) 210-4820 25 to 38 tons, will complement the other Volvo Construction Equipment products that Babcock represents. Babcock is well geared to incorporate the Terex Trucks business into its current infrastructure, especially with the opening of its state-of-the-art branch inMiddelburg which will serve as the head office for the Terex Trucks brand. This branch has been designed with large work bays that will accommodate trucks up to 100 tons. David Vaughan, Babcock, tel (+27 10) 001-0730

One of the major advantages of the FLSmidth Modular REFLUX™ Classifier plant, which is suitable for fines gravity separation applications, is that it can be configured for specific requirements and is quick to install and commission on site within a relatively short period of time. This integrated engineered modular solution has at its heart the well-proven REFLUX™ Classifier (RC™) from FLSmidth. Already well proven in the mineral benefi- ciation of fines in Asia, Australia, Africa and North America, use of this technology effec-

Terex Trucks, which was fully acquired by Volvo Construction Equipment, Sweden in June 2014, has appointed Babcock International as the official distributor of its rigid and articulated haulers in Southern Africa, effective as from 1 October 2015. In addition to supplying new machines, Babcock will also provide parts and other essential aftermarket support services to customers in South Africa and neighbour- ing countries. Headqua r te red i n Mo t he r we l l, tively improves the performance of gravity separation circuits over existing technolo- gies such as spirals and hydrosizers. Ricus van Reenen, Senior Account Manager at FLSmidth, says the modular RC plant enables customers to take advantage of the benefits of RC technology as well as to leverage the flexibility that modularity gives to an operation. Each section of the modular plant is contained within the dimensions of a 20-foot shipping container and the combination of these sections or con- tainers allows the plant to be configured according to process requirements. The configuration is easily adjustable to accommodate the changing process or ore conditions within given parameters, and this offers even greater flexibility. The plant can also be easily relocated from one site to another. Rapid on-site installation is possible as the frames of each modular section are easily assembled and locked together. All that is required is an 80-tonne mobile crane and a rigging team. Assembly is

Engineered as a plug and play solution, the integrated modular process plant has been designed for optimum recovery.

Distributorship agreement Hydraulic and AutomationWarehouse (HAW) has concluded an agreement appointing the company as an authorised distributor for SALAMI in sub-Saharan Africa. Effective from July 2015, SALAMI’s hydraulic gear pumps, motors and manual-operated mobile control valves are available to the region’s hydraulic industries, with full backup and after-sales support. “SALAMI hydraulic components have an established reputation across the globe as a top-class brand with a wide range of prod- ucts that introduce cost-effective, efficient and reliable performance in fluid power applications,” explains Wynand Kellerman, General Manager, HAW. “We’re excited to add SALAMI to our list of available products, which further cements our status as one of Africa’s largest stockholders of hydrau- lic components from the world’s leading brands.” HAW is a Hytec Group company. It has pro- vided an expansive, high-quality product line of hydraulic hose and fittings components and accessories for the Southern African fluid power industry for more than 20 years.
