Global Mining Technology the focus for Asia-Pacific Mining

Mining sectors throughout the Asia-Pacific region continue to be challenged by lower commodity prices, increased global economic volatility and rising production costs, with finding those one percent improvements and one cent cost-savings in production even more pertinent. Global suppliers of conveyor solutions and mechanical power transmission systems, Flexco and the SEW-EURODRIVE Group understand the impact of utilising innovative products and services to enhance the production performance of mine sites.

Flexco’s new H-Type Service Advantage Cartridge Primary Cleaner is acknowledgment of this reality incorporating the H-Type Primary Cleaner, which has been a market favourite in Australia for twenty years, with the Service Advantage Cartridge System that already features across three popular secondary cleaners across the Flexco range. According to Mark Colburn, Flexco’s National Sales Manager, “By combining the reliable and popular H-Type with the tried and tested cartridge system, Flexco can now offer a complete easy-removal cartridge system for both the primary and secondary positions on the conveyor.”

Similarly, the SEW-EURODRIVE Group offers mining customers extensive knowhow and product adaptations for their mechanical power transmission systems and motor control electronics. Industrial Gears Product Manager at SEW-EURODRIVE, Ian Tribe, suggests the effectiveness of their product ranges for mining applications is evident in their record of supplying the Australian mining industry, “…recently, we successfully supplied four 1.25 Megawatt drives for an iron ore project in WA bringing our total installations in Australia with gearboxes larger than 1 Megawatt, to 36.”

Mining companies and personnel will have the chance to source products and services, such as the H-Type Service Advantage Cartridge Primary Cleaner (stand 1711) and SEWEURODRIVE’s XS Range (stand 1311), at the 2015 edition of the biennial Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX).

AIMEX 2015 will be held at the Sydney Showground from 1-4 September 2015, also providing Australian and international METS suppliers with a platform to present their advantageous innovations to mining professionals.

“AIMEX is the biggest show on our calendar and a great place to officially launch new products and show our conveyor solutions to a domestic and international audience,” Mr Colburn said.

“SEW-EURODRIVE is preparing to launch a number of new products at AIMEX 2015, suited for different mining applications, including the X Series Mixer/Agitator Gear Unit, PX Series of Planetary – Bevel Helical Gear Units and the Australian assembled XS Range, which is suited for conveyor drives in the 20 to 100 kW (approx.) ranges” Mr Tribe announced.

“Prioritising AIMEX must be a consideration for companies and professionals throughout the mining industry, with exhibiting suppliers’ equipment, technology and services on offer providing the necessary one percent improvements in efficiency or one cent cost-savings in production.” Paul Baker, Director of REEDMININGEVENTS, stated.
