Electra Mining Africa 2026: Multotec to Showcase Cyclone Efficiency I Trafigura Withdraws from 2GW Angola-DRC-Zambia Project

SKF Lincoln automatic lubrication systems, Lincoln P203 8 KG progressive lube systems

A prominent South African industrial group, working under contract at a Zambian gold mine, secured 45 Lincoln P203 8 KG progressive systems from SKF for leading brand mobile machines to ensure reliable performance for their end‑user customer. Mining operations rely on these machines for uninterrupted, reliable performance to safeguard uptime and drive productivity. At the core of that reliability is the automatic lubrication of critical points, ensuring end‑users gain significant cost and time‑saving advantages while also supporting long‑term sustainability.

See Cyclone Efficiency in Action with Multotec at Electra Mining Africa 2026

Due to the deceptively simple design of a cyclone, which uses centrifugal forces to separate particles according to a predetermined cut-point, it is easy to underestimate the significant financial losses that can result from poor separation efficiency. Classification is a critical yet often overlooked process in a mineral processing plant. Cyclones play a fundamental role in determining particle size distribution and separation efficiency, influencing downstream recovery, equipment performance, and overall plant productivity. To help operators better understand why cyclone efficiency matters, Multotec will showcase its Glass Cyclone at Electra Mining Africa 2026.

Digital Visibility: Unlocking Capacity Across Southern Africa’s Mining Supply Chain

Every delayed train, idle loader and unavailable fuel truck represents capacity that already exists but isn’t being fully utilised. Across Southern Africa, the challenge is no longer simply building more infrastructure, it’s extracting more performance from the infrastructure already in place.

Trafigura withdraws from 2,000 MW Angola-DRC-Zambia power project

Global commodities trader Trafigura has withdrawn from a proposed 2,000-megawatt (MW) cross-border electricity transmission project designed to transport surplus hydropower from Angola to mining operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia, dealing a setback to one of Southern Africa’s most ambitious regional energy integration initiatives.

From Belt to Balance Sheet: Precision mass flow measurement in mining conveyors

The movement of bulk solids is constant, high volume, and tightly linked to production efficiency. From crushed ore to processed aggregates, materials are typically transported via conveyor belts or screw conveyors, forming the backbone of continuous production.
