The term “Electrostatic Spraying” is often misunderstood. Two common mistakes are made in the assumption that “all electrostatic sprayers are the same” and are mistakenly referred to as “foggers”.

The important aspect of our technology is droplet size and mass, which led to the development of the Maxcharge™ nozzle 28 years ago, at the University of Georgia, in Atlanta, USA. The droplet size and efficacy of the dispersed electrostatically charged droplets, create a “wrap around” effect and cover the targeted object on all sides.

Data submitted by leading universities demonstrate that air-assisted Electrostatic Spraying Systems (ESS):

Dramatically reduces the application water required
Significantly reduces application waste and off-target drift
Effectively increases insect and disease control

How does it work?

Electrostatic attraction is what causes items of clothing to stick to each other after being tumbled in a clothes dryer. The same natural force is utilized by ESS electrostatic sprayer systems. The heart of ESS air-assisted electrostatic sprayers is the patented MaxCharge™ nozzle, together with a spray dispersion through pressurized air, which produces spray droplets that are 900 times smaller than those produced by conventional sprayers.

As the spray is atomized, the droplets pass an electrode in the patented MaxCharge™ nozzle, which induces a negative charge on each spray droplet. The lightweight, negatively charged droplets are dispersed from the nozzle and carried deep into the plant canopy in a turbulent air-stream.

The negatively charged 30 to 60 micron droplets are repelled from one another and naturally attracted to the plant material, resulting in a uniform fine powder coat coverage. This provides measurably more than twice the deposition efficiency when compared to conventional non-electrostatic alternatives.

Droplets literally change direction and move upwards against gravity to coat the plant surface.

Although the technology is advanced, ESS air-assisted MaxCharge™ nozzles and sprayers are hardy and easy to maintain.

Benefits

reduces the risk of drift, runoff and ground wastage

The way in which the spray coats the underside of the leaves and backsides of stems is known as electrostatic “wraparound”. The electrostatic charge is 75 times stronger than gravity, allowing the spray droplets to uniformly disperse and cling to plant surface, rather than blown past the target, or accumulating into larger pools. The even dispersion avoids run off and chemical hot spots, to eliminate the risk of leaf and fruit burn from longer term chemical residue concentrations.

requires minimal water due to low-volume air-assisted spraying

Low-Volume air-assisted spraying technology requires 8 to 12 times less water carrier than conventional spraying methods. Growers are able to reduce standard 1,000 litres per hectare applications by conventional methods to an average 100 litres per hectare using ESS technology.

increases efficiency of softer, environmentally safer applications

The ability to provide comprehensive dispersion and coverage of targeted crop significantly improves the performance of controls applied. The increased residual effect can extend the half-life of controls and reduce frequency of spray applications.

reduces costs through operational efficiencies of hectarage cover per application

Low-Volume air-assisted spraying technology reduces the need and regularity of stoppage times per tank fill, increasing efficiencies of the number of hectares covered per spray day.

The benefits to the crop in quality terms and with improved dispersion of applications to efficiently manage insect and disease control, together reduced water requirements, spraying time, equipment wear and tear, add up to a lean payback period.

Where can I find it?

Electrostatic Spraying Systems Inc. commercialized the technology with the Maxcharge™ patented nozzle, 28 years ago. The manufacturing facility is based in Georgia, USA., where all manner of sprayers from compact handheld mobile backpack sprayers to industrial scale row crop sprayers are built. Apart from supplying their own domestic market, ESS Inc., have international distribution and a presence in South America, Europe, Middle East, Far East, Asia and Africa.

The efficiency and reliability of transfer points are pivotal in lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) on mines and minerals processing plants. These transfer points, where materials move from one conveyor belt to another, from conveyor to equipment or into storage facilities, are critical junctions that, when optimised, can lead to significant cost savings and operational benefits.

Mark Baller, CEO of Weba Chute Systems explains that transfer points serve as the heart of materials handling systems. “Chute systems ensure the seamless flow of bulk materials such as minerals and aggregates, from one process to another. However, these points are also prone to issues like spillage, dust generation, material degradation and equipment wear. Addressing these challenges is key to reducing maintenance costs, downtime, and overall TCO.”

Innovative solutions

Weba Chute Systems, a leader in transfer point solutions, has been instrumental in assisting mining and minerals handling operations to achieve lower costs and increased reliability. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges in bulk material handling, the company has developed innovative solutions that address the critical issues associated with transfer points.

Baller says that optimised transfer points are designed to minimise spillage and dust creation. “Using well-engineered chutes can greatly reduce material loss through the creation of excessive finds or spillages eliminating the need for frequent clean-ups. This not only lowers labour costs but also mitigates environmental and health risks,” he says.

Supporting customers in achieving optimal plant performance is more vital than ever. These concerns are behind FLS’s service focus at Electra Mining Africa this year, where the company is driving sustainable productivity through its solid and growing support and maintenance infrastructure. According to Alistair McKay, Vice President Mining: Europe, Arabia and Africa at FLS, this includes engaging visitors at the event on the value of the company’s innovative digital solutions. melbet

“In addition to our market leading solutions for mining plants, we will be sharing our extensive foundation of expertise, technical services, spares and consumables to support customers,” says McKay. “The show gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how these resources can lower operating costs and drive profitability.”

Key to FLS’s success in doing this is its understanding of exactly how its solutions are performing in customers’ processing facilities. As the original equipment manufacturer, he argues, the company is best placed to partner with mines to optimise performance and to maintain equipment health at the highest level.

FLS quality portfolio

“There is a global shortage of skills to conduct this important work, making it essential that we continue to both replenish and enhance the necessary levels of expertise for our ever-advancing equipment,” he explains. “This is why we invest so heavily in our training facilities and trainers – to upskill not only our own people but those of our customers.”

WEG Africa has become the first OEM to produce medium voltage (MV) softstarters in South Africa, reducing lead times for customers and supporting the drive for local manufacture.

The WEG SSW7000 units are produced at WEG Africa’s Robertsham facility south of Johannesburg to the high quality standards for which the company is well known. According to Pervin Gurie, Director of the Digital & Systems Division at WEG Africa, the popular SSW7000 range is well-regarded by the market. These softstarters, which are extensively used in pump and fan applications in Africa’s mining sector, have now also become more cost effective. Spinbetter

“As the demand for our MV softstarters has grown in recent years, we recognised that customers could benefit considerably from having these products manufactured locally,” says Gurie. “The immediate benefit is that we can almost halve the lead time from 20 to 24 weeks to 10 weeks, by removing the need for long distance shipping from WEG’s Brazil facilities.”

MV softstarters

He notes that the strategic value of softstarters has come to the fore as users look for ways to address the rising cost of electricity, as well as to protect their electric motors and extend their operational lifecycle. Softstarters allow a gentle ramp up of power as electric motors are started, reducing the peak energy demand during startup. Motors starting with a conventional direct-on-line (DOL) starting will draw up to 700% more than its rated current, while a softstarter can reduce this to just 300%.

“Our Robertsham design and production facility already manufactures a range of Variable Speed Drive Panels and Motor Control Centres, among other solutions,” he explains. “Our customers are always impressed by our infrastructure and expertise here, and we look forward to welcoming more of them when they visit to inspect the new MV softstarter manufacturing area.”

The local manufacturing capability will include the continued customisation of MV softstarters, where units are designed to meet specific requirements in customers’ applications. Gurie highlights that solutions can also be packaged in a containerised substation, as was the case with a recent order for a mining customer in Angola.

“The order of 11 units that we built last year was delivered in three containerised substations, and could be easily transported and installed on site for quick commissioning,” he says. “We have also found that customers in Africa have particular needs, such as extra space in their panels to accommodate thicker cables with less flexibility.”

He sees ongoing potential for the WEG SSW7000 range, which includes a monitoring feature that tracks whether the electric motor is overheating or drawing excessive current. This enables the shutdown of the motor down before damage is caused.

“To produce these MV softstarters locally, we have been able to apply our stringent manufacturing quality systems in place at our Robertsham facility,” he says. “We also use the proven WEG designs from our head office in Brazil, as well as technical input from our engineers there, as and when required. This assures customers that all these units continue to be produced to WEG’s world class standards.”

Capital equipment like pumps operate only as well as their components and wear parts allow, so it makes little sense to risk this performance by installing a replicated part.

“Mining and other industrial applications rely heavily on continuous operations to reach the productivity levels that make them profitable,” says Marnus Koorts, General Manager Pumps at Weir Minerals Africa. “This productivity is in turn the result of decades of partnership with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Weir Minerals, who provide much of the technological foundation underpinning a mining operation.”

Koorts emphasises that the lifecycle cost of key equipment like pumps is many orders of magnitude higher than its upfront capital cost – as they all need a high standard of maintenance that matches the quality of their initial manufacture. As long as the equipment performs to expectation, it will contribute to the mine’s success.

OEM

“What is often not fully understood, however, is that OEM spare parts are as carefully designed and manufactured as the core equipment itself,” he explains. “As an OEM with over 150 years of field experience, we have deep insights into how our parts perform – and can confidently provide our customers with performance predictions and service intervals.”

These promises that an OEM makes become the basis of its long term partnerships with customers, he says, and allow the mining industry to effectively mitigate operational risk so that mines succeed. By contrast, a replicated part is a reverse-engineered product that tries to look the same as the original, and must simply fit in the appropriate space.

“This is where the similarity with the OEM part ends,” argues Koorts. “The performance and longevity of the replicated part can seldom be guaranteed, and this undermines the principles of risk mitigation and productivity that the mine is trying to achieve.”

Weir Minerals’ original spares form an essential part of the journey that it walks with customers toward sustainability and commercial success, he explains. While the efficiency and robustness of the parts reduce mines’ energy consumption and carbon footprint, the sustainability efforts of Weir Minerals also contribute to improving customers’ Scope 3 emissions.

“Having a parts supplier with a concerted sustainability commitment – including the use of renewable energy in many of our facilities – further assists our customers in reaching their strategic corporate objectives,” he concludes.

While contractors are employed primarily to execute projects on behalf of mining companies and project houses, experienced underground mining specialists like Murray & Roberts Cementation also offer invaluable insights from earlier stages of development.

“Over the decades, we have found that our early engagement with clients provides many vital opportunities to optimise their ideas and plans,” says Graham Chamberlain, New Business Director at Murray & Roberts Cementation. “Especially in the shaft sinking phase – which is highly capital intensive – the devil is in the detail, and there are many aspects to consider when working to achieve a streamlined and cost effective process.”

Chamberlain highlights how the company is often engaged in the very early days of a project, to work with the client right from the concept and design phases. Often, third party consultants even use Murray & Roberts Cementation to conduct project designs, he says, as this creates a more seamless flow into the execution stage. Ваш текст ссылки

Successful performance

“Our approach is to work with the client on developing a range of options for each aspect of the project,” he explains. “This provides a broader scope of what is possible, with each option being discussed in the light of the client’s goals; these alternatives can be steadily whittled down to the two or three best, so that an intensive comparison can be conducted to make a final selection.” megapari

A shaft design, for example, is a central factor in the successful performance of a mining operation –not just at its start but over its entire lifecycle. Whereas it may be considered feasible to reduce the diameter of shaft in the planning stage to reduce capital costs, a more farsighted view will expose the limitations that such a decision will create for the mine’s future.

“Technology in crushing, milling and processing is always evolving, and many mines can upgrade this infrastructure to generate more revenue,” he says. “However, such changes will be limited to 10 to 15% improvements if shaft capacity is at its limit. The shaft design therefore needs to accommodate the longer term goals of the mine – where market demand could allow throughput to grow in orders of magnitude.”

He emphasises the importance of understanding local conditions – both regulatory and physical – in managing risk on shaft sinking, development and contract mining projects. Where there are requirements for local procurement and hiring, for instance, the company has aligned its policies and developed extensive experience putting these into practice. These social and labour regulations, which are well established in South Africa, are also being applied across Africa and even in some South American countries.

Every project should be regarded as a ‘monument’ to the efforts of the developer, he explains, and therefore needs to leave a strong and positive legacy. This extends beyond the structural elements to the livelihoods, skills and prosperity of local communities. Murray & Roberts Cementation actively contributes to these developmental aspects, not least through its well-resourced training academy.

“Cost and productivity are key elements of success in our line of work, so risk needs to be carefully managed to produce the best outcome,” he says. “Many contractors operating globally in our field are not familiar with the unique requirements of the African market, and consequently, they often struggle to optimise cost and productivity factors in this region.”

Innovation also underpins the input that Murray & Roberts Cementation makes in planning for projects, Chamberlain continues. This is as much about developing new methodologies as it is about leaving others behind. Bold steps have been taken to find safer alternatives in equipment use; the cactus grab – historically a staple item on any shaft sinking site – is no longer employed, for instance.

“We adapted Canadian practices into a Murray & Roberts method of shaft sinking – using an understage-mounted excavator arm – to clean after blasts,” he says. “This is all part of a no- compromise approach to safety on our sites, which we share with clients as part of our initial discussions on scheduling, costs and productivity.” adding value beyond execution

A critical value-add from the company’s early engagement with clients is its extensive library or database of lessons learnt and technologies applied. This institutional knowledge, which dates back decades, can then be suitably ‘packaged’ by experienced practitioners who are experts in their field. He notes that one idea on its own is not going solve the various challenges that each project faces.

“Our work in the mining environment is complex, and must address matters from hoisting and logistics to safety factors and ground conditions,” he says. “The value of experience cannot be overstated, and requires careful consideration of all the options.”

Taking place at the Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg, from 2-6 September, this year’s Electra Mining Africa was the biggest show in its history with 950 exhibitors occupying over 40,000m² of exhibition space across 6 exhibition halls and 4 outside exhibit areas.

Visitors were able to explore thousands of new products, ground-breaking machinery, latest innovations and world-class technologies, with the many live demonstrations giving them an opportunity to see products and machinery in action during the five days of the exhibition. The show also afforded visitors the opportunity to speak to the technical experts on the stands and compare products and brands. betwinner apk

“We have had excellent feedback from our exhibitors,” says Gary Corin, MD of Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group, and organisers of the show. “Many of our exhibitors have been exhibiting with us consistently for many years whilst others were previous exhibitors who came back this year after a short break or exhibiting at Electra Mining Africa for the first time. Those we have spoken to have met their exhibiting objectives, whether that’s brand awareness or generating sales leads, or both.”

By the end of the show, 39 883 visitors had attended this year’s Electra Mining Africa, which was about 27% higher than the previous show in 2022.

“But it’s not just about the numbers,” explains Corin. “It’s about the quality of the visitors that come through. And it’s been impressive. Visitors were from across the industry sectors represented at the show, looking for the latest products, innovations and technologies relevant to them. And they weren’t disappointed by what they saw. Electra Mining Africa has built its reputation as a platform for trade; the place where buyers and sellers meet to do business, contributing to the stimulation of trade in the industrial, manufacturing and mining sectors of the South African economy.”

The New Products and Innovation Awards competition attracted entries from local and international manufacturers exhibiting at Electra Mining Africa. The winners were announced at an exhibitors function which took place on the Wednesday evening.

Charlene Hefer, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions says that the the Awards celebrate remarkable ingenuity and outstanding levels of innovation. “The innovation displayed across the show was of a world-class standard and this was also reflected in the entries received for the innovation awards competition. Many of the new products and innovations are likely to be exported into Africa and other parts of the world in the coming months now they have been launched to market at the show.”

On the Thursday morning, the Deputy Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Ms. Nemadzinga-Tshabalala visited Electra Mining Africa. The deputy minister said she was visiting the show to see what technology and innovation as well as investment is taking place in the mining industry. She says she was very impressed by what she saw at Electra Mining. “From my walkabout it is clear that Electra Mining is booming and growing.” She adds that she would like to see the relationship between the expo and her department grow stronger. “Government is interested in such partnership.”

Attributes of a successful 2024

Asked what made Electra Mining Africa the success it was this year, Hefer said that it’s all about collaboration. “We have a great team who have worked really hard to ensure the success of the show, but it’s also the collaboration we have with the industry associations, the trade media, our suppliers, and of course, our exhibitors. We launched a brand new exhibitor training programme this year and spent three days training just over 350 of our exhibitors, and we could see the difference at the show, how they have implemented what they learned. From how they approached build-up and the effort they put into their stands, to the way they were interacting with visitors and how they embraced our theme days. It made a real difference. They took their exhibiting to the next level!”

Corin spoke about the collective when it came to the marketing of the show. “To achieve the number of visitors this year, yes, the marketing was good. But not just ours as organisers. It is the collective effort that makes a show successful. The industry has really bought into this and I think that’s what makes the difference. No individual, no one organisation, can put an event like this together on their own. It was the collective effort of all stakeholders that ensured the success of this year’s show.’

Looking ahead to Electra Mining Africa 2026

When asked where Electra Mining Africa goes from here and what it will look like in 2026, Hefer says that the good news is that already a couple of months ago they started planning for 2026. “There are many new initiatives in the pipeline and some areas that we want to improve for the next show. We will engage with our exhibitors, visitors, sponsors, associations and media partners to get their input too. There’s a lot in our planning mix already, but their input is also crucial for us.”

Gary also reflected on what the industry might look like in 2026. “In two years’ time new technologies will be out there, new solutions, and our exhibitors will be showcasing and demonstrating these new innovations and technologies, whatever they will be. Artificial intelligence is having a major impact, even in our business. How we communicate, how people register to attend, tools that help both exhibitors and visitors on site. We don’t even know yet what will be available in 2026. It will be an exciting couple of years as the unknown becomes known,” concludes Corin.

Electra Mining Africa is the largest mining, electrical, automation, manufacturing, power and transport trade exhibitions in Southern Africa and one of the largest global mining and industrial shows. It is recognised as a ‘5-in-1 Trade Show’ with its five incorporated shows: Electra Mining Africa, Automation Expo, Elenex Africa, POWERex, and Transport Expo. Local manufacturing also played a prominent role at this year’s Electra Mining Africa, and, for the first time, the Local Southern African Manufacturing Expo was incorporated within the show.

Latest from Pilot Crushtec International is the Metso HRC™ 8 high pressure grinding roll crusher for producing manufactured sand. In addition, the machine can also be deployed in the mining sector as a pre-grinder to help improve mill efficiency.

The demand for economical and efficient ways to produce crushed sand is growing, as natural sand deposits located near growth centres are being depleted and environmental regulations are becoming stricter. As a result, manufactured sand is becoming a high-demand material. The arrival of the Metso HRC™ 8 ushers in a new era for manufactured sand-makers. 1win

The machine uses a method of inter-particle comminution by drawing in a bed of material between two rotating rollers. The rollers, one of which is in a fixed position and another one floating, generate an extremely high pressure, extruding the feed material down to the desired smaller grain sizes.

Quality upgrade

“The HRC 8 is the ultimate solution to produce excellent quality sand that can substitute natural sand from natural deposits such as rivers. The quality of sand can be adjusted and optimised, thus reducing the amount of cement and asphalt required in concrete mixes or asphalt. The machine produces a gradation according to customer needs and delivers a perfect cubical shape for concrete and asphalt sands,” explains Oldemar Meneses, Product Manager, HRC Technology at Metso.

In addition, the HRC™ 8 can convert quarry waste into sellable product. The machine can reprocess non-sellable waste materials to correct the gradation curve and particle shape, converting them into high-value sellable products. This not only addresses the cost factor, but also speaks to the manufactured sand market’s drive for sustainable operation.

Not only is the machine suited for manufactured sand, but also for pre-milling applications across commodities such as chrome, lithium, gold, and copper, amongst others, says Francois Marais, Sales and Marketing Director at Pilot Crushtec.

“In mining, chrome and lithium will be the perfect applications for the HRC 8. In these commodities, sizing material down to a minus 5 mm size has traditionally been done with impactors. While the capital cost of using impact crushers seems lower, it is outweighed by the extremely high wear costs, especially when processing highly abrasive ores,” says Marais.

Both sand manufacturers and mines will benefit from the HRC™ 8’s increased throughput in a single pass, energy efficiency, reduced ultra fines and reduced operating costs as well as safety and ease of maintenance.

The HRC™ 8 provides a notable increase in production efficiency. The flange design maximises the amount of material that is crushed by pulling the feed into the crushing zone. This method prevents the material passing the rollers and increases efficiency and throughput. The patented arch-frame, on the other hand, eliminates downtime caused by skewing.

The machine uses a combination of high pressure and a unique patented roller design to achieve a fine product with minimal energy input. In fact, the machine consumes up to 50% less power in sand production compared to other technologies for the same volume of net product.

“By reducing energy consumption and increasing wear life of components, the HRC 8 helps lower operational costs. Its efficient grinding mechanism also reduces the need for secondary crushing, further cutting down operational expenses,” concludes Meneses.
