Delivering industrial solutions across Africa, we support key industries with reliable products that keep operations running efficiently in demanding environments.
The grey gearboxes and motors were supplied as part of a replacement project for a mining operation in Botswana. The project involved the manufacture and installation of a new geared motor unit to replace an existing drive that had been discontinued and was no longer supported.
The upgraded unit consists of a BK60 geared motor powered by a 22 kW motor, specifically designed to drive an above-ground copper ore conveyor. The new assembly ensures reliable conveyor operation, improved availability of parts, and long-term serviceability.
By replacing the obsolete unit with a modern geared motor solution, the project ensures continued operational reliability, improved performance, and easier maintenance for the copper ore handling system.
We were involved in a replacement and repair project at Obuasi Mine in Ghana, where a critical mill circuit bearing was supplied to support ongoing gold processing operations.
The project required the supply of a FAG bearing (239/1060 MBKC3) with a bore diameter of 1060 mm, designed for use in the ball mill circuit. The bearing was installed to replace a worn unit, ensuring the continued reliable operation of the mill used in the extraction and processing of gold ore.
Although no photos are available for this project, the supply of this large-scale bearing formed an important part of maintaining operational reliability, reducing downtime, and supporting the efficiency of the mine’s milling process.
We have also been involved in projects at Letseng Diamond Mine in Lesotho, where we managed a contract for the supply of bearings and transmission products supporting ongoing mining operations.
The scope of supply included various industrial bearings, electric motors, V-belts, and pulleys, all essential components used in conveyor systems and other critical mechanical equipment across the mine. These products play a key role in ensuring reliable power transmission, smooth equipment operation, and reduced downtime in demanding mining environments.
Although no photos are available for this project, the supply formed part of our ongoing commitment to supporting efficient, reliable, and well-maintained mining operations through high-quality mechanical components.
The blue gearboxes and motors supplied formed part of a replacement and repair project at Mimosa Mine, an underground platinum mining operation in Zimbabwe. The project was undertaken to upgrade an existing conveyor drive system that had become underpowered as production demands increased over time.
The gearbox and motor assembly was designed to drive the head pulley of a platinum-carrying conveyor, ensuring reliable and efficient material handling within the underground operation. To meet the higher load requirements, a BK90 geared motor powered by a 37 kW motor was installed to replace the original gearbox.
This upgrade provides improved torque capacity, enhanced reliability, and the ability to support the mine’s increased production levels while maintaining consistent conveyor performance in a demanding underground mining environment.
