Becker Mining South Africa’s stand at Electra Mining Africa will once again highlight the company’s commitment to the highest standards in quality and safety in the mining sector and general industry.

Becker Mining’s product portfolio, which complies with stringent government mining regulations and mining house specifications, includes high-performance, fit-for-purpose communication and safety solutions for underground and surface mining installations – Leaky Feeder, WiFi, tagging and tracking, as well as environmental monitoring proximity detection systems.

In addition to communications solutions, Becker also offers intrinsically safe and flameproof underground electrical reticulation products, as well as fluid transfer, rigging, rope attachment, steel arch tunnel support and underground transportation systems. An important feature of all systems is that they are designed to facilitate future upgrades.

Becker Mining’s critical service encompasses the design and manufacture of products and systems, using the latest technologies and advanced materials. Mine safety is significantly enhanced by the implementation of one or a combination of Becker’s specialised multitechnological solutions.

On display will be communication and automation solutions, energy distribution systems, mechanical, electrical and electronic mining products, as well as transportation and roof support systems.

Of particular interest on the stand this year is the Becker Varis Smartsense atmospheric and environmental monitoring system, which forms an essential part of critical underground and above-ground communications and safety systems.

The high accuracy Becker Varis Smartsense gas monitoring system has integrated features for the detection of ambient temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. Apart from the accurate detection and monitoring of ambient temperature, humidity and barometric pressure, every device can monitor up to four gases, including oxygen, methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and nitrogen dioxide.

An advantage of the Becker Varis Smartsense SSFM-100 device over conventional monitoring systems, is that all features are integrated into one compact instrument. There is no need for complex cable connections, troublesome programming or difficult calibration.

The mining sector in Africa benefits from Becker Mining’s ongoing research and development programme, where close international ties guarantee the edge on product design, impeccable manufacturing standards, cost efficiency, safety and reliability of equipment.
