Chicago Pneumatic generator give-away a showstopper at Sibanye Gold MTE

Following hot on the heels of the successful generator give-away at the Northam Mining & Technical Exhibition (MTE) in Limpopo, one week later Chicago Pneumatic once again handed out a portable generator, this time to a lucky visitor of the Sibanye Gold MTE held in Gauteng on 17 May 2018. Chicago Pneumatic has attained unrivalled success with the hand out of a generator at the past seven MTEs this year. “Our generator giveaways, which are handed out on a lucky draw basis, has proven to be a resounding success,” comments Eben van der Vyver, Business Development Manager, Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment in South Africa. Attendees to the MTEs have the opportunity to view the Chicago Pneumatic CPPG5 (5.5Kva) petrol-driven portable generator which is second to none when it comes to high performance, reliable power delivery and safe operation over a long service life. The exhibitions which have traversed through South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, have provided the ideal platform for Chicago Pneumatic to expand its brand and product footprint in the southern African mining sector. ”The MTE’s have provided an opportunity for Chicago Pneumatic to go beyond South Africa’s borders and gain exposure to untapped potential business opportunities in these regions,” adds Van der Vyver. The Chicago Pneumatic stand was overwhelmed with visitors who were keen to view the CPPG5 portable generator that was on display and stopped to ask numerous questions about the unit. Van der Vyver was joined by Pierre Benadie from Chicago Pneumatic distributor, Super Air, for the proud hand over of the generator to the lucky winner, Dirkus Jansen from Lesedi Truck, Sibanye Gold. With six months remaining which will see the MTEs in the Northern Cape as well as in Zambia, the momentum of the generator giveaways is set to grow even stronger. “Each MTE is a different and presents us with a learning experience for the company to understand the various needs of our customers and we look forward to meeting more existing and prospective customers at the upcoming MTEs,” concludes Van der Vyver.

Mines to gain control of yellow metal assets – aims to reduce fraud

SAMAR announces plans to cover entire life-cycle of all assets MIDRAND, SOUTH AFRICA – 25 May 2017 – The Southern African Movable Asset Register (SAMAR) today announces its plans that will allow mines, contractors, manufacturers, importers, builders, banks, insurers as well as the general public to control title and ownership of all movable assets, including yellow metal and other movable assets used during operations. In Africa, many yellow metal assets are crudely marked and registered to businesses. However, SAMAR creates the most recent reliable record of an asset and yellow metal by updating records in real-time as changes are made by various system participants. This allows businesses to effectively manage and control the financing of assets and yellow metal not on eNaTIS throughout their lifecycle. This greatly reduces fraud, theft, double discounting, or incorrect depiction for value and insurance purposes. Benefits for contractors • The value of movable assets and yello...

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

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...
