Drilling
Meanwhile, Bauer will exhibit a broad
range of specialist foundation equipment
on its stand, including a BG 20 H rotary
drilling rig, which will be fitted with a
special tool for rock socketing at the
show.
Other models on display will
include the Multi-Hammer Drill
for hard rock drilling – a particular
feature of many Southern African
regions, while rigs for the exploration and
waterwell drilling markets will also be on the stand.
Bauer subsidiary Hausherr System Bohrtechnik will
have an HSB 3000 blasthole drill on show, while Klemm
Bohrtechnik, another Bauer subsidiary, will showcase a KR 909-1
anchor drill rig.
More drilling technology will be on show from Everdigm,
which will display its ECR 12 and ECR 17 core drilling rigs.
The manufacturer said the fact that the drills are driven by gears
instead of chains distinguishes them from other models on the
market and contributes to lower heat generation.
Meanwhile, Ditch Witch will be showcasing its JT25 horizontal
directional drill at the exhibition, which is designed for installing
utility pipes and cables with diameters of up to 12 in (305 mm)
at lengths of up to 500 ft (152 m). The machine is fitted with
a Cummins QSB4.5 diesel, rated at 130 hp (97 kW), and is
available in a Tier 3 emissions configuration for African markets,
as opposed to the Tier 4 Interim/ Stage IIIB requirement for the
US and Europe.
On the crushing and screening side, Powerscreen will display its
XH320X impact crusher and Warrior 800 screen in partnership
with its South African distributor ELB Equipment.
And Caterpillar’s Southern Africa dealer Barloworld Power will
be showcasing the Cat C7.1 Acert Tier 3-compliant engine at the
show – a 116-225 kW, 7.1 litre model.
Meanwhile, falsework and formwork manufacturer Doka will
also be present at the exhibition, showcasing its new Dokadek
30 panel floor formwork. This is a beamless hand-set formwork
system, designed as a lightweight steel construction with powder-
coated frames and the company’s Xlife sheets.
Optimistic
CEO of MMI South Africa Elaine Crewe was optimistic that
the inaugural Bauma Africa would be a success. Ms Crewe
said investors and businesses were looking towards developing
countries for new growth, and Africa’s mining and construction
industries were set to profit from this move.
“The growing pool of international entrants into the African
market is a telling sign of just how important Africa is becoming
and the need for specialised players in the industry. We trust that
Bauma Africa will highlight new products in these sectors.”
