Thanks to swift reaction by Pilot Crushtec International, a coal mine in Mpumalanga was able to significantly increase its output by adding an extra shift to its opencast operation. The product in question is the Generac VT8 which is equipped with four 1,000 watt metal halide floodlights. Each individual unit is capable of illuminating an area of up to 4,200m².

The success and efficient operation in South Africa of several of the recently launched Metso Lokotrack®ST2.8™ heavy duty scalpers has led to a sale and successful installation at a major open cast manganese mining operation in the Northern Cape province.

Pilot Crushtec International has supplied a further five free-standing TowerLight lighting towers to Mpumalanga coal mining specialist Just Coal.

Thanks to the innovative use of Metso Mobile crushing and screening products, B&E International (Pty) Ltd has set up a production train that consistently produces G1 road stone product at a rate in excess of 550 tonnes per hour (tph).
