As the pioneer of wear lining materials in the minerals processing and materials handling sectors, Multotec Wear Linings is well-positioned to provide a far more holistic approach to managing wear.

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Multotec has concentrated successfully on adding more consumable and capital products to its range in order to be able to meet changing client requirements

From screens to cyclones and chutes, Multotec's ongoing focus is to reduce the operating costs of mineral processing plants.

Multotec ensures that liner design is optimal for the life of the liners and performs condition monitoring on installed liners to ensure maximised uptime by facilitating proactive maintenance.

Hydrocyclones, used for classification in mineral processing, must be correctly maintained to ensure they operate at peak efficiency.

Applying continuous ion filtration (CIFTM) in the mining industry will bring significant benefits, and Multotec is poised to do this following its recent announcement that the company will be launching water processing solutions in Africa in partnership

A stalwart at Electra Mining Africa (EMA) for over 35 years, the Multotec Group is well known as a supplier of superior products and services to the mining industry.

Multotec offers a range of centrifuges that includes both filtration (pusher, vibrating and Conturbex®) and sedimentation (conventional decanter) types, suitable for a multitude of applications.

A major market differentiator for Multotec is the unique design of its classification cyclones.

The importance of ensuring that the correct slurry sampling design is used for the gold sector cannot be overstated. This is according to Multotec product specialist for sampling Rolf Steinhaus who, with his knowledge and experience gained in his 29 years in the mining sampling sector and 19 years with Multotec, proficiently assists customers with the optimum design for reliable gold metal accounting.

Multotec is accelerating its R&D programmes across several focus areas.

Since the commissioning of its rubber injection moulding and compression moulding machines, Multotec has been able to offer a host of solutions relating to the production of heavy and light duty rubber screen panels in all shapes and forms.

High alumina ceramic impellers achieve significant cost reductions, simultaneously achieving consistently good performance for extended periods.

Building on a platform of robust growth in the African market that has positioned it as the market leader, Multotec is now focusing on replicating its local successes to become the leading screening media solutions provider in the international arena.

The technological advances applied by developers and engineers at Multotec, has resulted in major cost savings for wear linings in all hard rock mining operations.

The high costs associated with wear and chemical corrosion of industrial equipment are apparent in decreased productivity and increased maintenance.

With the mining industry’s intensifying focus on managing the lifecycle cost of its equipment, the nature of the repair and maintenance model has evolved well beyond process equipment companies going onto site to change out a component and then pulling back.

The leadership of Multotec's co-founder – Ernst Joachim (EJ) Holtz – has played a huge role in the growth trajectory of the company.

Multotec leadership underwent a changing of the guard in its top management during 2013.
