Mining equipment supplier ELB Equipment announced in May that it had launched its latest range of Powerscreen mobile conveyors, which offer reduced crushing and screening costs when combined with mobile conveyor loading solutions and can replace more costly loading equipment in many applications.

Notably, efficiency, productivity and increased stockpile capacity are some of the key benefits of the new Powerscreen mobile conveyors.

“The range has tracked mobile conveyors ranging from 21 m to 30 m and from 500 t/h to 1 000 t/h,” says ELB Equipment national mining sales manager Wakefield Harding.

Meanwhile, the tracked radial mobile conveyors range from 20 m to 24 m and 500 t/h to 1 000 t/h with stockpile capacities of up to 7 500 m3 at 180°.

 

“The fully mobile tracked hopper feeder ranges from 15 m to 23 m with hopper capacity from 4 m3 to 10 m3 with a low-level feeder option that can be directly fed by a loader or excavator and has a capacity of 7 m3.

“We also have lattice frame and telescopic conveyors up to 50 m,” Harding adds.

“Further, all the mobile conveyors can be run on automated programme as an optional extra.”

The advantage of this range of Powerscreen mobile conveyors is that they prevent degradation and segregation of materials, meaning that it does not separate fines and heavy materials during the stockpiling process and prevents degradation of material as it is stockpiled.

“This is a key feature in ensuring the improvement of material quality. In addition, the pinless deployment feature allows the operator to adjust the stockpile angle ‘on the fly’.” As a result, downtime and the likelihood of blockages are reduced at the head drum. This also results in the machine having a faster setup time.

The mobile conveyors also help in the reduction of site traffic, labour and, because of their robust design, maintenance costs.

Proven Record

Harding says that ELB Equipment’s “best of breed” approach ensures that clients are supplied with the “world’s best equipment” for their specific needs by the country’s top single supplier.

“We believe that, with over ten years of experience in the supply of mobile conveyors, the company has been the most successful in the country.”

The company has a history of customers operating several mobile conveyors – contractors, aggregate, remining and others have up to seven working on different parts of respective projects.

Its supply of Powerscreen mobile conveyors means that any company looking to maximise productivity and efficiency would “naturally” opt to add these conveyors to a fleet.

With ELB Equipment’s commitment to providing clients with global standard equipment and comprehensive aftermarket service, the company has a large fleet of field service vehicles to ensure its equipment performs at optimal levels with maximum availability, he says.

“It has a large footprint across South Africa including major cities as well as across other Southern African Development Community countries including Namibia, eSwatini, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe,” Harding concludes.
