BMG’s stand at this year’s Electra Mining exhibition (Hall 6, Stand H 20) focuses on the company’s technical solutions-driven service for the mining industry. BMG will also showcase newly acquired products which have strengthened the company’s position in the electrical, hydraulic and energy efficiency sectors.

“The Bearing Man Group, which implemented a re-brand and consolidation programme two years ago at the last Electra Mining exhibition, upholds its pledge to playing an integral role in the productivity and operations of each customer’s business,” says Charles Walters, BMG’s CEO. “By providing engineering solutions and technical services that optimise productivity and process plant operating reliability, BMG enhances its product and service offering to make a difference to the efficiencies of every plant.

“BMG’s technical resources division ensures mechanical reliability by starting with the initial design concept and running through the specification, manufacturing quality control, commissioning and after care of equipment. Specialist services include technical applications consulting, product and system design, on-site process analysis, lab and on-site oil analysis, product quality control and assurance, as well as condition monitoring services.”

The company’s interactive stand also highlights BMG’s new ‘world class production efficiency’ initiative, which offers straightforward cost control solutions to the serious threats of non-competitiveness facing local industry.

This energy efficiency campaign – which strives for plant capacity maximisation - emphasises the importance of energy efficient products, correct product selection and sizing, operational cost reduction and condition based monitoring.

BMG’s range of energy efficient power transmission components is designed to significantly reduce electricity consumption in diverse industries. These energy efficient products, which include Eskom endorsed quality branded electric motors, self adjusting motor bases, frequency inverters, fluid couplings and synthetic oils, ensure optimum efficiency, reduced power consumption, low maintenance and extended service life.

Visitors to the stand will be able to interact with a touch screen facility which profiles BMG’s extensive product range that encompasses bearings, seals, power transmission components, electric and geared motors, as well as belting, fasteners, filtration and hydraulics.

New to BMG’s portfolio since the last Electra Mining exhibition are products from BMG Hydraulics which include variable and fixed displacement pumps, industrial and mobile valves, accumulators, low and high speed motors, as well as cylinders. This division also offers a complete turnkey project capability on hydraulic systems.

BMG Filtration, which provides filtration, separation and purification products and technologies, has extended its range to include new filtration products that utilise rare earth magnetic ferrous contamination control technology.

The latest addition to BMG’s range is the product portfolio from Wegezi Power Holdings, which includes transformers, electric switch gear, panels and pumps.
