Minerals Processing, Cement & Lime Plants @ Electra Mining Africa 2014

Polysius and ThyssenKrupp Materials Handling, now known as Resource Technologies, a business unit under ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions Africa, will showcase its grinding and crushing technologies for materials handling, minerals processing, cement and lime plants with a model of a semi-mobile crushing plant as well as a working model of a mill at this year’s Electra Mining (Stand J3, Hall 6).

As a global leader in engineering with presence on 5 continents and more than 150 years’ experience, the company’s turnkey offerings provide customers in the mining and cement industry, as well as the minerals processing and bulk materials handling sectors with a comprehensive product portfolio combined with a tightly meshed sales and service network including engineering, design and manufacture of equipment for materials handling, minerals processing and complete cement and lime plants. Field assembly, commissioning as well as comprehensive after sales services for complete production lines, individual products, plant conversions and upgrades compliment the company’s capabilities. We have also the advantage to access group-wide R & D, innovations and new technologies.

Minerals Process Technology
The merger is a natural fit in terms of both market focus and product range from crushing to grinding equipment, including high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR). To meet higher throughput targets on a processing plant, HPGR technology is combined with mills at various stages of the crushing process.
With a global market share of 44% in primary crushing, we have added our industry proven range of crushing equipment, fully and semi mobile, to our portfolio. Combined, we can now offer a total solution for the comminution circuit.

Materials Handling
The capabilities of the newly formed company Resource Technologies includes also materials handling equipment which allows us to offer our clients pit to port solutions. This includes equipment like bucket wheel excavators, stackers, reclaimers, overland conveyors, load-out stations as well as wagon tipplers, stockyard conveyors and shiploaders. In addition, we are known to the market for our on the ground engineering know-how, quality and long lasting equipment which is backed by our local engineers and service personnel. 

Laboratory Automation
The company’s innovative laboratory automation solutions and intelligent control systems provide the technology to analyse complex ore bodies and minerals as required by today’s ore deposits. These quality control systems and know-how have been offered by the company for more than 4 decades.

Service
The focus over the next few years will be on service in the African market also implementing operational, maintenance and service contracts with our Service Centre in Chloorkop being the main service hub. ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions is moving service closer to their clients and are already establishing offices in both Ghana and Mozambique. We have equipment operating in those countries and the idea was always to support it from a local office. In line with operation and maintenance we have identified the need for a training facility which will also support our current apprenticeship programme as well as customer related training.
