The GEA Group, a global supplier of process technology and solutions, will again be represented at Electra Mining Africa 2014 by numerous specialists from its South African offices and German technology centres, showcasing an array of technologies from its mechanical equipment, process engineering, refrigeration and heat exchanger segments pertinent to the Southern African mining and processing industry at its new-look stand in Hall 5.

“As a complete integrated systems solutions provider, it’s important that our technical and design services are accessible to advise on an optimised process solution for an array of mining and industrial applications,” explains GEA Westfalia Separator market development engineer Garth Jordan. “With Electra Mining Africa attracting an estimated 38 000 visitors, it remains a primary forum for us to interact with both our existing and potential customers.”

From the mechanical equipment segment, GEA Westfalia Separator’s stand will feature a series of its decanters and centrifuges used in a range of applications, from the recovery of micro- and nano-sized particles of metals, through to dewatering, thickening or classification of pigments in industrial minerals, crud treatment and leach clarification.

GEA Westfalia Separator delivers product, service, training and maintenance solutions to position itself as a total client partner. GEA Westfalia Separator offers a full-scale testing solution in a pilot plant environment to analyse client processes.

Products from each of GEA Process Engineering’s strategic business units (SBUs) will be showcased. The concentration SBU, which focuses on specific customised solutions and complete process lines, comprises Messo PT, Wiegand and Kestner, which supply a range of crystallisers, evaporators, membrane filtration plants and scrubbers.

The chemical drying systems SBU comprises Niro and Barr-Rosin, and offers engineered solutions for turning liquids into powder and the drying of particulate matter.

“GEA Bischoff (formerly Lurgi Bischoff), with close to 100 years of experience in the provision of emission control technology for glass, iron and steel, cement, nonferrous and chemicals industries, is a partner of choice in the need to conserve the environment through reduced emissions,” explains emission control sales manager Kayimbi Mpanya.

“With all the technologies in our GEA portfolio, we’re able to deliver a single-source solution for complete process lines, enabling us to offer unmatched processes and service support to our clients,” process engineering business development manager Wendy Capelin says.

The refrigeration segment will be at the stand to discuss the services, solutions and technologies available for process cooling applications. These include ice and chilled water production systems and skids, medium, low- and ultra-low temperature systems, as well as heat recovery systems. “This tradeshow gives us the opportunity to introduce our specialised refrigeration packages to the market,” GEA Refrigeration sales and marketing manager Ilse van der Merwe concludes.
