Chicago Pneumatic generates success at Botswana MTEs with three genset giveaways

Chicago Pneumatic strenthened its foothold outside South Africa’s borders with the sponsorship of a CPPG5 (5.5Kva) petrol-driven portable generator at each of the three Mining & Technical Exhibitions (MTEs) held in Botswana during April 2018. Eben van der Vyver, Business Development Manager for Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment in South Africa, was joined by Columbus Magede from Chicago Pneumatic Botswana dealership, Utility Power based in Gaborone, for the hand-over of the portable generators to each of the lucky winners: Jonathan Sesinyi from Debswana Mine (Letlhakane MTE, 16th April), Peter Gaongalelwe Gasena from Morupule Coal Mine (Palapye MTE, 18th April) and Simon Hendrick Mooketsi from Debswana Mine (Jwaneng MTE, 20th April). ”To see the winners’ excitement was most rewarding, not to mention the tremendous interest they showed in the generator,” comments Van der Vyver. ”They asked us numerous questions about the product as well as the Chicago Pneumatic brand.” A proud Magede adds, ”It’s a good feeling to see what Chicago Pneumatic does in the market and to be associated with the brand.” According to Van der Vyver, the three Botswana shows proved to be extremely successful with expected visitor attendance numbers exceeded and potential for business opportunities increased. ”We engaged in interactive customer discussions with the many visitors paying a visit to our stand at the Letlhakane and Palapye shows while the Jwaneng show saw the stand being flooded with visitors!” Van der Vyver also reports that they gained a sizable quantity of REQ’s and promising prospective leads from the shows. ”With these exhibitions taking place not only in South Africa but also in Botswana and Zambia, we are presented with the perfect opportunity to strengthen the Chicago Pneumatic brand within South and southern Africa’s mining sector,” confirms Van der Vyver. ”Also most importantly, the initiative provides good exposure for our Chicago Pneumatic’s distributors.” To date, a total of six Chicago Pneumatic portable generators have been given away leaving nineteen still to be won. Van der Vyver says they are looking forward to discovering more untapped customers at the remaining MTE’s which are taking place in Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and the Northen Cape, as well as in Zambia. Chicago Pneumatic’s CPPG5 portable generator sets the benchmark for productivity and is engineered to provide stable electrical output and safe operation over a long service life. The machine delivers power where and when it is needed enabling end-users to get the job done quickly and efficiently. ”Winning a Chicago Pneumatic generator is more than just a prize for the lucky recipient, it is power generation peace of mind,” concludes Van der Vyver.

Kubota RTV-X900 delivers deep underground

Image
[Johannesburg, 30 May 2017]: With a rich founding history of gold and diamond mining, South Africa remains a leader in deep underground mining as well as safety in this arena, making the transfer of equipment and goods underground a task with little margin for error. Enter the Kubota RTV-X900. While the tasks involved in a successful mining operation are manifold, one of these is being able to move equipment, technicians and supplies from the shafts to the rock face; everything inside these tunnels must be brought from the surface. Due to the layout of a deep level mine, which could include many hundreds of kilometres of tunneling fanning out from the shafts and leading to the surface, this transfer is hugely complex and potentially very hazardous. In years past, the task of transporting goods from the surface underground and vice versa was carried out using a ‘cage’, from which the mining paraphernalia would either be physically carried or transported by wheeled trolleys to its po...

SKF Ultrasonic leak detector - Quick and easy detection of air leaks TKSU 10

Image
The SKF TKSU 10 is an ultrasonic leak detector that helps users to quickly find leakages in compressed air or vacuum systems. The instrument is very simple to use and features adjustable sensitivity and intuitive guidance for superior leak detection results. Any compressed air system can experience leaks, which amplify the load on compressors and increase costs. The TKSU 10 helps users to easily find leaks from a distance, even in noisy industrial environments, via its ultrasound measurement sensor. The built-in LED display assists the user in adjusting sensitivity and shows the measured ultrasound noise from leaking air, allowing the quantification of leaks and prioritisation of repairs. It is easy to use and no training is required. The leak detection can be done from a distance in noisy industrial environments. The colour LED display assists in adjusting sensitivity settings and shows measurement values. The unit reduces energy and maintenance costs via leak identification an...

Atlas Copco and Skills Development Corporation giving hope to the disabled

Image
In a bid to contribute to the much-needed skills development and work experience of disabled people, Atlas Copco South Africa partnered with the Skills Development Corporation (SDC) 12 months ago on 4 April 2017. Atlas Copco recognises the daily challenges the disabled face both in their private lives as well as in the business world. The 12-month initiative gave a number of leaners aged between 20 and 28 the opportunity to receive skills development while simultaneously obtaining valuable experience in the work place. The learning programme, hosted at Atlas Copco House in Jet Park, Boksburg, offered learners practical work experience from Monday to Thursday; every Friday learners attended lectures in General Business Management conducted by SDC Facilitator, Nozibusiso Nkosi. “We take pride in working with our future generation, teaching them the fundamental ins and outs of a corporate setting and at the same time boost their self-esteem and much needed confidence to pursue their ca...
