Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
CiDRA (“CiDRA”) announced that it has entered into a distributor agreement with Yokogawa Australia & New Zealand. Yokogawa will sell CiDRA’s SONARtrac range of flow meters into the Australian and New Zealand minerals processing sector.
CiDRA’s line of SONARtrac flow meters provides accurate and reliable flow measurements for mining applications, as well as most industrial applications. Due to their non-intrusive design, SONARtrac flow meters do not have any moving or process-wetted parts that are subject to wear, or inherent drift mechanisms, and are installed externally to the outside of any type of pipeline. This non-intrusive design translates into long life, no maintenance, improved safety, and enhanced operational effectiveness for the monitoring of mining flow processes.
John Hewitt, Managing Director of Yokogawa Australia and New Zealand said “the opportunity to distribute the SONARtrac line of flow meters from CiDRA was very welcome as it provided Yokogawa with access to a product that our customers have been asking for. We look forward to a successful partnership with CiDRA in providing a cost effective and reliable flow measurement solution for our mining clients.”
David Roberts, CiDRA’s country manager for Australia and New Zealand, is very pleased to have Yokogawa on board. “Yokogawa Australia & New Zealand is a leading supplier of process control systems and instruments into the Australian and New Zealand mining industries. Their depth of knowledge and presence in Australia mining and mining processes, together with CiDRA’s SONARtrac flow technology, will help serve the broader market in Australia and New Zealand.”
