Twiflex, the global supplier of advanced braking technology for mining equipment, has launched a new website which provides information about their lines of industrial disc brakes, centrifugal clutch couplings and flexible couplings and shafts. The website, www.twiflex.com, is easy to navigate and contains specific product features and benefits as well as selection guides and braking calculations. A link to the Twiflex Literature Portal allows quick access to application profiles, data sheets, brochures, catalogs and service manuals, all available as PDF downloads. Global distributer and sales locators are also provided. The Twiflex Newsroom link is a single source for the latest company news, product announcements, articles and press releases.

Twiflex specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of advanced braking technology for industrial applications. Founded in 1946, Twiflex has produced more than half a million brake units, frequently for safety critical duty, around the world. Twiflex braking solutions are designed for a wide range of applications including grinding mills and mine hoists. Twiflex and US distributor Hilliard are currently working on a very large grinding mill brake system for Newmont. The system will be installed on both 26 ft gearless driven ball mills and a 42 ft gearless driven SAG mill being supplied by Metso for the Minas Conga oxide copper-gold project in Peru near the group’s existing Yanacocha operation. Conga is Peru’s biggest mining project and will be Metso’s largest installed SAG mill to date. The Twiflex scope of supply for the project includes two off pedestals (brake stations) each with four off VMS-DP brakes plus hydraulic power packs for each of the mills.
