Mixtec’s Retrofitting a Game Changer for South African Mine

etrofitting is always done for two reasons, to solve a problem and to save costs. And this was no exception at a local mine in Gauteng, where the Mixtec team encountered a recurring problem with competitor products: equipment was failing prematurely. In response, the team took action by replacing twenty two wet ends with Mixtec’s superior mixing technology. This resulted in an upgrade to the drive systems. Notably, this intervention not only rectified the issue of equipment failures but also substantially improved solid suspension, all while reducing power consumption costs. Encouraged by this groundbreaking success, the customer subsequently requested a further enhancement to unlock the full potential of the drive and amplify production rates.
