Positive mood at IQSA 2024
For the first time, Multotec exhibited at the year’s Institute of Quarrying Southern Africa (IQSA) conference this year. Pieter Uys, business development manager – Multotec, expressed satisfaction with the level of interactions with the industry. “We met both existing and potential customers at the show. We cast particular spotlight on our polyurethane and rubber screening media. I believe that there is a lot of scope for improvement in the choice of screen media in the quarrying industry,” said Uys.
Available in a wide range of apertures for various applications, Multotec’s rubber screening panels are ideal for primary applications with high-impact areas and abrasion. “Our rubber panels are highly impact-resistant and have a long lifespan, thus ensuring optimal total cost of ownership for customers,” said Uys.
Multotec also offers a wide range of polyurethane panels. These are ideally suited for dewatering applications such as sand processing. The screens are expertly manufactured with self-relieving apertures, resulting in the unrestricted downward movement of any sized particle – reducing pegging and blinding.
“One of the products that has really done well in the quarrying industry is our polyurethane side tension mat. One of the key advantages is that there is no need for any structural change on customers’ vibrating equipment. The solution fastens and tensions the same way as woven wire mesh, but the advantage of the polyurethane side tension is that one gets a longer lifespan. One of our major quarrying customers has seen 12 times more lifespan out of our polyurethane side tension mat compared to the woven wire mesh they had before,” said Uys.
