Joest, a locally owned and operated South African original-equipment manufacturer, is one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of custom-designed vibratory equipment in the country.

Originally registered in 1976 as a subsidiary of German company Jost, it changed hands in 1989, when it was acquired by current chairperson Gunter Vogel, under whose guidance it has incorporated local technology into the original German designs to boost the equipment’s robustness and efficiencies in the harsh African environment.

Joest’s feeding and screening machines range in weight from 1 t to 50 t.

Besides its 9 000 m2 factory in Spartan, Kempton Park, the company has a branch in Kathu, in the Northern Cape, as well as strategically located service centres in the North West, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape.

Most manufacturing processes are undertaken in-house and state-of-the-art shotblasting and painting technologies ensure that all Joest products receive the best corrosion protection available.

Joest’s recent major projects include the supply of a diamond processing plant to Russia and grizzly feeders to Petra Diamonds, and a drum screening plant upgrade at Kumba’s Sishen iron-ore mine.
