Making Mining Manufacturing Sterling

Southern African mining is key to the region’s economy and future economic growth potential. Growth of the sector requires a localised approach to manufacturing of components to effectively mine minerals such as gold, diamonds, platinum, chrome, manganese, titanium, vanadium and vermiculite. Locally manufacturing of components requires cutting tools and machine tools designed with heavy-duty machining as the key component. Skok Machine Tools has been actively involved in the mining industry component manufacturing sector for 50 years with cutting and machine tool solutions for all machining requirements. 

Each type of mining equipment comes with its own set of mining activities. The most common types of mining equipment vary depending on whether the work is being carried out above or below ground, such as mining for gold, metals or coal. From drilling machines to excavators, crushing and grinding equipment – the mining industry has a complex number of applications and component requirements. 

Skok Machine Tools has industry leading solutions to solve the most challenging problems in the manufacturing of mining equipment. Mining drills, blasting tools, earth movers, crushing equipment, feeding, conveying and online elemental analysis equipment all require precision components to be manufactured to the highest quality standards due to the safety risks associated with mining. Having a machine tool partner assisting in applications that require the most aggressive cutting tools, the most repeatable heavy-duty machine tools and innovation in workholding all combined to reduce cycle times, increase productivity and boost your profitability.

The mining industry has a diverse material range of components manufactured from steel, stainless steels, titanium and other high-temp alloys, requiring the latest carbide cutting tool solutions with new coating technology combined with cutting edge substrates to maximise the metal removal and productivity to remain competitive globally. 

All mining components are crucial to the industry, Skok Machine Tools can assist in getting the job done efficiently and cost effectively, in the shortest possible time.
