Designed specifically to meet the challenges of the South African mining environment, the first locally-manufactured Joy reclaim feeder is now available from Komatsu. Produced at the company’s manufacturing facility in Wadeville, the machine was built using 75 percent locally sourced materials.

Joy reclaim feeders offer an efficient and cost-effective method of blending materials, reclaiming stockpiles and feeding material. The machine features automatic operation at low speeds, low maintenance costs and high flexibility for blending applications from multiple stockpiles. Joy reclaim feeders require only solid, level ground conditions for installation and offer high mobility.

Joy reclaim feeders currently operate in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, synthetic fuel plants, power plant facilities, synthetic gypsum plants, truck load-out facilities, port load-out facilities and coal mining operations.

Komatsu recently highlighted the machine’s capabilities at an Open Day event Oct. 17-18 at its manufacturing facility. “We’re excited to be producing these high-quality machines locally,” said Croydon Walters-Gerout, Director – Marketing & Capital Sales. “This particular machine was designed and manufactured to customer specification, making it ideal for the unique conditions of our area.”
