South African crushing and screening specialist Pilot Crushtec International’s recently launched DynamiTrac TDH6118 triple-deck screen is one of the most exciting developments in the company’s 25-year history.
Designed and built completely in-house, it represents a new departure in high output screen technology. “The mining and construction industry have become even more competitive as a result of current market conditions, both locally and globally, says Pilot Crushtec International CEO Sandro Scherf. “This in turn puts increased pressure on margins and, as a result, more emphasis than ever on designing and building equipment that will bring down the average cost per tonne of a given material. That is the purpose for which the DynamiTrac is intended,” he explains.Homegrown solutions in action
The unit is by far the largest product ever built at the company’s Jet Park-based manufacturing facility situated close to OR Tambo International. The track mounted, mobile triple-shaft, triple-deck horizontal screen is designed to produce as many as four products simultaneously with a capacity expected to easily exceed 350 tonnes per hour (tph). Scherf believes that the DynamiTrac is poised to succeed in both domestic and export markets.“On the one hand, it will serve as a key import replacement, providing local operators with a homegrown solution for the cost effective production of high quality aggregate.
We do believe however, that the economies offered by the DynamiTrac also make it a paying proposition in export markets, especially with exchange rates at current levels.”
