Multotec brings practical solutions, expertise and innovation to Electra Mining Africa 2026
According to Bheka Majola, Managing Director for the South African
Region at Multotec, Electra Mining Africa provides an
important opportunity for the mining industry to come together, share knowledge,
and discuss the future of mineral processing.
“For Multotec, it also creates valuable opportunities
to engage directly with customers, better understand their operational
challenges, and explore how our technologies and expertise can support their
success,” he says.
Highlighting Multotec’s broad product and service
offering, Majola says Electra Mining Africa 2026 will provide a platform to
showcase the company's solutions, technologies, and engineering expertise
through several interactive displays and live demonstrations.
These include a live spiral demonstration showcasing
Multotec’s gravity separation product range; a glass cyclone illustrating
the operating principles of a cyclone; and a working Vezin sampler
demonstrating the role of metallurgical accounting sampling. Visitors will also
see a Vibramech screen deck fitted with Multotec screening media and
accessories, as well as the MATO range of conveyor maintenance solutions, rubber
wear technologies, digital wear-monitoring software, and other process
optimisation solutions.
Together, these displays are intended not only to
highlight Multotec’s technologies, but also to demonstrate how application-specific
solutions, backed by engineering expertise and customer collaboration, help mining
operations improve efficiency, reliability, and decision-making.
Partnering with customers to solve operational
challenges
Multotec's approach to business is built on a
long-standing commitment to solve the mining industry’s most pressing mineral
processing challenges by aligning its solutions to these operational realities.
“We do this by developing practical, customised
solutions alongside our customers that solve their real-world mineral
processing problems,” explains Majola.
“By combining our manufacturing capability with the engineering
expertise across our specialised divisions, Multotec is able to innovate in
ways that deliver measurable improvements in plant performance, availability,
yield, efficiency, and reliability,” he adds.
This combination of specialist knowledge, engineering
capability, and customer collaboration continues to position Multotec as a
trusted partner to the mining industry.
The future of innovation is digital
Having built a strong foundation through a
comprehensive portfolio of mineral processing equipment, supported by metallurgical,
process, and mechanical engineering expertise, Multotec is focused on advancing
its digital capabilities to help shape the future of minerals processing
innovation.
For Majola, the future of minerals processing
innovation lies in digital technologies that make operations simpler, smarter
and more efficient. He believes machine learning will play an increasingly
important role in supporting metallurgical practices by streamlining data
analysis, enhancing decision-making and reducing the administrative burden on
plant personnel.
“By equipping technical teams with better insights and
more time to focus on optimisation, these technologies have the potential to
improve plant performance while helping mining operations produce more efficiently
and cost-effectively,” explains Majola.
Majola adds that Multotec's local manufacturing
capability, research and development facilities and experienced engineering
teams enable the company to work closely with customers to test, refine and
implement practical solutions that address real operational challenges.
It is this combination of mineral processing expertise, manufacturing capability and innovative digital solutions that Multotec believes will continue to enhance operational efficiency, optimise plant performance and support smarter decision-making across mineral processing operations in future.
