Multotec is gearing up for its participation in Electra Mining Africa this year, taking place from 2-6 September, where the company will showcase its offerings and solutions. This event provides a platform for Multotec to highlight its experience and unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration within the industry.

Visitors at Electra Mining Africa 2024 will have the opportunity to explore an array of products tailored to improve efficiency and performance, across mining and industrial sectors. The exhibition will also enable engagement with Multotec, who will share their expertise and present their latest innovations tailored to address industry challenges.

With a history of participation in Electra Mining Africa dating back to 1973, Multotec maintains its support for the mining sector and dedication to nurturing customer relationships through this exhibition. Its consistent presence at Electra Mining Africa over the years has solidified its position as a leader contributing to the advancement of the mineral processing industry through its solutions, manufacturing capabilities and knowledge sharing.

Bheka Majola, Managing Director – South African Operations emphasises that at Electra Mining Africa, their goal is not only to exhibit products but also to demonstrate their comprehensive solutions as part of a larger international group.

Visitors can engage with Multotec’s process engineers, applications engineers and product specialists who possess in depth knowledge of mining, metallurgy, and the company’s wide range of products. Representatives from branches in Africa including South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, and Ghana will also be in attendance to provide insights and support.

This year, Multotec will highlight its H450 Conturbex centrifuge and stainless-steel cyclone emphasising their expansive offerings in dewatering applications. Majola mentions that the H450 Conturbex centrifuge is durable, easy to maintain and competitively priced. Customers who have made the switch have expressed satisfaction with its performance and especially its mechanical reliability and availability. Additionally, a dryer from Siebtechnik Tema (Multotec’s sister company) will be on display alongside the centrifuge system to offer a solution for dewatering needs. The cyclone, centrifuge and dryer combination, showcases Multotec and its sister companies’ system capabilities in dewatering and drying solutions.

In the field of wastewater treatment, Multotec will share sustainable advancements focusing on nitrate removal. The company will also present conveyor belt cleaners from its Mato Products division that feature enhancements aimed at boosting efficiency and safety. Multotec will be exhibiting an expansive range of capital and consumable equipment and services, tailored to meet the needs of processing plant operations across the entire spectrum of mining commodities.

Majola highlights Multotec’s dedication to the South African local manufacturing sector through an investment of ZAR100 million in a new screening media factory. “This investment will help us better serve our growing customer base and update our manufacturing processes to ensure we remain a viable and competitive supplier of high-quality products to the world,” he remarks. This major progress highlights Multotec’s commitment, to supporting local industries while also meeting the increasing demands of the global market.

“Our research and development facilities test full production size equipment to provide customers with solutions that do not need to be scaled up from testing to supply. Our people spend time at the customers daily, ensuring that our innovations are driven by customer needs, directly benefitting their operations,” Majola elaborates.

The emphasis on research and development has played a significant role in Multotec’s ability to introduce solutions that effectively tackle industry challenges, which will be communicated at Electra Mining Africa. In line with its sustainability efforts, Multotec’s exhibition stand is made from sustainable materials. “This year we’ve chosen eco-friendly alternatives for our stand instead of traditional materials like wood, metal, foam board and medium density fibreboard (MDF). What cannot be recycled will be repurposed within our business.”
