TAKRAF Group<\/a> is one of Australia\u2019s leading OEM (original equipment manufacturer) suppliers of new machines and equipment to the mining and resources industry. The Group also boasts an in-house capability to provide comprehensive aftermarket and maintenance support for its own and other OEM equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Australia\u2019s mining and resources industry seeking to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability and social responsibility, TAKRAF Group is ideally positioned to support the local industry in the next stage of development of this ever evolving and dynamic sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through its long and distinguished history in Australia<\/a>, TAKRAF Group has developed an innate understanding of local mining conditions, standards and requirements, enabling its Australian offices to provide its clients with the most suitable solutions to their unique project requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, the Group boasts an extensive and increasing reference list of projects in Australia, covering both TAKRAF and DELKOR technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its reputation as the world\u2019s leading technology provider in run-of-mine and bulk material handling has meant that its TAKRAF brand portfolio is in considerable demand from Australian operations, from its technologies for overburden removal and raw material extraction through processing to ship loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recent project examples include the supply of a rail-mounted, slewing and luffing stacker for an important bulk export terminal. This machine, with its 62-metre curved boom is one of the largest and technically advanced globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A TAKRAF double jib level luffing ship unloader replaced two existing machines at an important deep-water port on the Australian east coast, enhancing the capability of the port in handling a range of commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other TAKRAF equipment currently in operation at Australian mines and ports ranges from semi-mobile crushing plants to bridge-type bucket-wheel reclaimers, stackers and trippers, radial stackers and portal scraper reclaimers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The DELKOR liquid\/solid separation range of technologies <\/strong>is also seeing increasing application in Australia, and globally, for their ability to enable the optimum recovery and recycling of water, reducing freshwater intake into the plant and enhancing environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DELKOR dewatering equipment<\/strong>, such as its high-rate and high-density thickeners, are specifically designed for the needs of the mining industry and the ongoing transition from wet to dry tailings deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a recent order, TAKRAF successfully commissioned a 30m diameter DELKOR tailings thickener for a plant in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DELKOR has also provided four of the largest DELKOR belt linear screens (40 square metres) available globally to a gold mine in Australia, while its new generation BQR flotation cells, equipped with the MAXGen mechanism, have found wide acceptance in the country, with orders coming from several gold mines to a nickel restart project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TAKRAF Australia\u2019s countrywide presence includes office representation in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth, close to its clients\u2019 registered offices; as well as smaller satellite offices close to its clients\u2019 operations to support them in their day-to-day operational requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such long experience, combined with the wide extent of its network, has enabled TAKRAF Australia to establish strong working relationships with some of the largest diversified mining companies, as well with the smaller mid-tier and junior players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, its services, both technology supply and aftermarket support, are enhanced by solid partnerships with local Australian suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TAKRAF is one of the largest and most experienced full-service suppliers of mining industry equipment, supporting not only its own machines over their full product lifecycle, but also that supplied by other OEMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the importance of quickly identifying and solving issues before problems occur, TAKRAF Australia\u2019s satellite offices are conveniently located to timeously and efficiently provide customised maintenance solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These solutions range from continuous condition monitoring through regular inspections, spare parts supply, on-site repair support and stock management, to site assistance for troubleshooting and major repairs including complete refurbishments as an alternative to purchasing new equipment, as well as equipment relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWorldwide, the resource industry is facing complicated challenges in transforming towards a sustainable future,\u201d TAKRAF Australia managing director Ivan Agostini said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a result, TAKRAF Group focuses on areas that are critical for reliable and sustainable operations, providing innovative solutions that save energy, lower environmental impact and meet or exceed operational requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis, together with our commitment to innovation and technology development, means that we are well placed to support our clients in Australia towards the next significant step in our industry\u2019s move towards greater environmental sustainability \u2013 an area in which the combined strengths of our TAKRAF and DELKOR portfolio will provide for fully integrated solutions that make the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFurthermore, we believe that our commitment to fostering collaboration between owners, operators and original equipment providers is the best approach in building systems that exert real savings on energy and water consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
