Forward-looking Epiroc makes a move in Mozambique

The drive to become a stronger partner and bolster services to customers in Mozambique fueled the decision by global mining equipment specialist, Epiroc, to relocate to larger premises in Maputo on 1 July 2018. Epiroc made the bold decision to establish a foothold in Mozambique with the opening of an office in the country’s capital, in 2013. The key objective was to create a direct presence with higher competence to support local customers. Responsible for serving customers and end-users across a wide spectrum of markets and diverse applications, the Maputo office was becoming increasingly inadequate. Fernando Pedrinho Martins, Country Manager for Epiroc Mozambique Ltd., explains, “Our new premises, situated only a short distance from the old building, consolidates the offices and warehouse under one roof. With the necessary flexibility to accommodate a growing structure, the facility complements our competencies and capabilities and also presents an ideal space for receiving customers. We are poised for further growth and success!” Epiroc Mozambique, supported by a major hub in Moatize, Tete, as well as a site presence at Vale Moatize coal mine, delivers drilling equipment and consumables, hydraulic attachments and industrial compressed air solutions to the mining, cement & aggregate, drilling and blasting, exploration, oil & gas, geotechnical, industrial, and civil construction industries. “To ensure optimum performance over an extended life span, we support our products and equipment with a comprehensive and specialist aftermarket offering that comprises service, parts, training, and components remanufacturing,” states Martins. 2/…Epiroc Mozambique office 2/…Epiroc Mozambique office “With our dedicated ten-strong team, underpinned by support from Epiroc South Africa, the new facility now perfectly positions us to deliver the Epiroc brand promise and fully display our strenth in the effective delivery of our world-class products and services to customers and end-users across the region,” concludes Martins.

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...
