Atlas Copco South Africa reaches out to South Africa’s future leaders at Career Indaba

Atlas Copco South Africa’s participation in Career Indaba 2016 once again demonstrates the company’s unwavering commitment to South Africa’s youth in finding suitable, secure and successful careers. Career Indaba, considered to be South Africa’s number one education and career guidance event, took place at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on 7 and 8 March 2016. Interactive workshops and two days of networking with top corporates companies and further education institutions presents an ideal opportunity for students, parents and teachers to gain practical knowledge on how students can succeed in their lives after school. Upon visiting the show in 2015, Atlas Copco South Africa and Sub-Sahara Communications Manager, Kgothatso Ntsie, recognised that Career Indaba would serve as an ideal vehicle to explore alternative ideas as part of Atlas Copco’s Employer Branding strategy. “In order to get a feel for the exhibition, we decided to kick off our first support year with branding in the form of Atlas Copco exhibitor bags.” “The fact that entry is free of charge means that this important event is open to all and the high attendance figures bears testimony to this,” continues Ntsie. “With well over 5000 learners attending Career Indaba 2016, our support of the event proved to be a resounding success. In addition to the huge exposure we received as an organisation, the show exposed a number of alternatives of brand awareness in reaching out to learners and students. We without any doubt achieved our objectives.” Ntsie confirms that Atlas Copco has committed to being an exhibitor at Career Indaba 2017.

Epiroc has once again rocked the local mining space with a landmark sale of the first BenchREMOTE in South Africa to key customer, Elf Drilling. The innovative BenchREMOTE is an advanced monitoring system, which can be linked to up to three SmartROCs and is ideal for removing the operator from the danger area, taking him away from the noise and dust and drilling in hazardous areas near the high wall, thereby contributing to elevated safety levels. Elf Drilling, since its inception three decades ago, has been a frontrunner in drilling, sampling and service for the Northern Cape mining industry. Operating as a complementary team, Faghmi Cader, Eduard and Lizelle Mostert are leading Elf Drilling into the new age of automation drilling. Consisting of a regional office in Kathu, a head office in Kimberly and a workshop in Kuruman and supported by a team of 145 employees, the company boasts extensive experience across South Africa, as well as in Namibia and Angola.

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

Image
The application of Thermal Spray coatings by South Africa’s leading surface coating specialists, Thermaspray, can lead to an enhancement in performance and an extension of service life of expensive engineering parts and industrial components, leading to substantial reductions in downtime and production costs. Engineering components and parts in production processes are subject to degradation through wear, corrosion, oxidation and cavitation. Thermaspray, Managing Director, Dr. Jan Lourens, points out that as all these degradation processes are active on the surface of components, a suitably selected and correctly applied surface coating like Thermal Spray can effectively re-condition production equipment to ‘as new’. “In fact”, adds Dr. Lourens, “very often, through degradation analyses and the selection of a superior coating, a thermal spray coating makes it possible to provide virtually as good as new a component. Most importantly for the end user, this means substantial cost sav

Epiroc anchors down on safety and productivity with new Cabletec SL

Image
Epiroc understands that safety and productivity are fundamental to a mine’s sustainable future and this was the inspiration behind the design and development of the latest ground-breaking fully mechanised Cabletec SL. Mines are increasingly recognising the invaluable role of automation and digitalisation in driving down input costs and driving up output, efficiencies and productivity while at the same time enhancing the safety of mine workers. Featuring advanced automation technology, this fully mechanised and versatile cable bolting machine eliminates the need for perilous and time consuming hand-held drilling and manual installation of mechanical anchors by performing these processes remotely. The Cabletec SL also reduces the number of operators required to install mechanical anchors to a maximum of two people who are able to operate the machine safely from a canopy or via blue tooth remote control technology. Remote functions include changing the drill steel and inserting the
