MDS, a global provider of heavy-duty rock trommels and conveyors, has appointed ELB Equipment (ELB), which offers a broad range of earthmoving, construction, mining, and quarrying equipment, as its official distributor for South Africa
Raheel Qamar, MDS business development manager, explained, “ELB is a logical partner for MDS, since they already represent other Terex brands such as Powerscreen scalpers and screens, which already dominate the local market. The addition of our leading heavy-duty rock trommels will close the circuit for miners who are already familiar with ELB Equipment’s high level of service and minerals processing offerings.”
MDS tracked, static and recycling trommels can handle a wide range of media including blasted rock and riprap, as well as varying substrates such as clay, limestone and even recycled concrete rubble. The rugged ability of the trommels means they can shorten the processing equipment chain onsite – either direct from blasting and loading or from a primary crusher or even recycled materials and composting.
ELB divisional director, Wakefield Harding, remarked, “The addition of MDS static and tracked trommels supports our growth strategy to expand our offering into new crushing, screening, and environmental industries, with products that complement our existing portfolio. This range is unmatched in the local market and is simply not available as standard produced machines elsewhere. It will introduce a totally new way of doing things in the local market and is bound to turn up production volumes while increasing profitability on many new and existing plants in South Africa.”
