CDE Global establishes SA office

CDE Global, which says it is the largest wet processing equipment manufacturer in the world, has established a South African office (CDE South Africa (Pty) Ltd) and appointed Nicolan Govender as Regional Manager for Southern Africa. The African continent has high infra- structural demands and the materials washing solutions CDE develops are said to be ideal for quarrying and mining sec- tors supplying the construction market. CDE claims that the environmental ben- efits of using its equipment are significant, not the least of which is that up to 90 % of the water is recycled when a wet process- ing washing plant is combined with a CDE AquaCycle water recovery system. A typical sand washing operation uses a minimum of a hundred thousand litres per hour, which is basically clean water being converted into waste water and then pumped or piped away into a settling dam, at which point it exits the washing system. With a CDE AquaCycle, most of this waste water is recycled for immediate reuse by the customer. eDART, South Africa’s specialist slurry valve manufacturer, and Afrivalve have joined forces in order to offer a greater range of valves suited to the mining, heavy industry, water and power sectors. “We are better placed as a collective to service the valve requirements of these industries which will enable customers to source their products from a ‘one-stop-shop’ facility,” says Greg Hopton, Group Marketing Manager for Afrivalve, which will be representing all the eDART brands. “A key complaint from project houses is the scattered source of supply for the wide range of valve technologies needed, mak- ing it also a cumbersome exercise for valve manufacturers to meet all the specifica- tions on large contracts from one source. Due to the synergy between eDART and Afrivalve, it made complete sense to refine and streamline our operations in order to meet the demand for quality valve prod- ucts to the project houses and our joint customer base,” states Hopton. “As a result, we will be moving into our new premises in Kya Sands, Johannesburg.

An AquaCycle thickener in combination with a M2500 washing plant. Working with a world-class engineering team, Govender has recently sold a com- plete bespoke plant in NorthWest Province for a waste dump recovery operation. The customer, a local mining operator, will now use the new CDE state-of-the-art wet processing installation to produce a high specification product. The plant comprises a M4500 sand washing plant equipped with two Infinity fine screens and an EvoWash, running in synergy with a water-saving AquaCycle We hope to relocate to the new facility early in 2017 and the premises will encom- pass over 2 500 square metres of factory and office space.” eDART was established in 2004 and says it is a market leader in the manufac- ture of specialist slurry control valves and associated specialist equipment to the mining and related industries. The com- pany believes its C-Tech knife gate valves, manufactured 100 % locally in South Africa by eDART, are well suited to the challenges of the local market. “eDART’s C-Tech valve, formerly known as the Controltech knife gate valve, has been on the market for many years and has been sold successfully into many mining and industrial applications,” says Hopton. Afrivalve, which was launched in 2015, will be responsible for the promotion of the eDART range of products, including the C-Tech valves (which have been suc- cessfully installed in mining and industrial applications in South Africa, Botswana,
