Interactive live demonstrations by the Kalahari Scientist, aka Jonathan Hartley, are expected to attract attention at the Afrox stand at Electra Mining Africa 2016.

The not-to-be-missed interactive science demonstrations by the Kalahari Scientist are expected to be a real education in the properties of hydrogen and oxygen, liquefied petroleum gas and propane and nitrogen.

The industrial gases and welding equipment supplier will also showcase its move to solutions tailored for individual customers and will be joined at its stand by sister company, Linde Engineering South Africa.

“Our product service offering has shifted to focus on providing individual customers with bespoke solutions for their operations,” says Afrox head of integrated customer solutions Dhevan Moodley.

“Our customers are under constant pressure to improve their efficiencies and Afrox recognises that to add value means understanding their operations and processes to offer services and products that are meaningful and beneficial to their needs.”

At Electra Mining Africa, Afrox will focus on customers in the mining, petrochemicals, transport, fabrication and power generation sectors. It will also showcase its advances in Genie cylinders, automated welding, recycling of hydrofluorocarbons and the latest in individual cylinder control management and tracking solutions.

Afrox will also highlight the lifesaving attributes of its AfroxPac 35i, a closed-circuit, self- contained, oxygen breathing apparatus designed for escape from oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

AfroxPac 35i, which, in the South African mining sector is used for on average one-million working hours every day, uses an efficient bidirectional rebreathing system in which exhaled gas makes two passes through the carbon dioxide removal/oxygen generation canister before the oxygen-rich gas returns to the user. The ergonomic design makes it suitable to be carried on the body continuously.

Visitors to the stand will be able to view other trusted mining industry mainstays, including Afrox’s BlueBox and RedBox heavy-duty oxy/acetylene kits, and will have the opportunity to discuss their needs with Afrox’s professional technical team.
