A range of crushing and screening solutions are available for applications within the energy minerals sector, and are being used in lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, copper and graphite operations.

“The flexibility of our mobile and modular equipment allows customers to tailor solutions to match diverse ore characteristics and processing plant requirements. This adaptability is crucial, especially when dealing with variations within the same commodity category, such as lithium ores that differ in behaviour,” explains Pilot Crushtec sales manager Africa Wayne Warren.

Pilot Crushtec says its equipment selection considers material abrasiveness to help minimise equipment wear by bypassing crushers when necessary. Its mobile equipment often includes pre-screening options as standard, reducing the need for additional screens.

The company highlights the introduction of innovative equipment to the market, such as the Metso Lokotrack LT200HPX mobile cone crusher and the Metso Metrix remote monitoring system that is fitted to the machines. These advancements are designed to improve optimisation levels and offer remote machine monitoring and maintenance assistance.

Units feature built-in dust suppression systems to enhance safety and productivity. In addition, low-emission, electrically powered equipment options are also available.

In South Africa, the company says it has expertise in coal crushing and screening solutions, including specialised mobile and modular crushers designed for the coal market, meeting strict product gradings.
