In an industry defined by vast distances and challenging terrains, the ability to innovate and adapt is paramount. MechProTech is an emerging global player by embracing this very principle, designing, and delivering robust, modular processing plants that bring unparalleled flexibility and efficiency to local and international mining operations.

A Global Footprint with Local Impact

MechProTech’s engineering excellence is allowing the company to establish an international footprint. With recent and ongoing projects in Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Canada, the US, and across sub-Saharan Africa, the company has proven its capability to deliver in diverse and demanding environments. This expanding global presence is being reinforced with new offices in Toronto, Canada, and Brisbane, Australia, ensuring closer collaboration and support for its international clientele.

Proven Excellence in Key Projects

The company’s reputation for reliability and performance is underscored by landmark orders. MechProTech recently secured its first orders for its largest mills to date, comprising two GDM3065 mills for a major project in Zambia and two for a prominent South African gold mine. Further, its expertise is being leveraged in specialised reagent plant projects across Canada and the US, highlighting its diverse capabilities in the hydrometallurgy sector.

The Modular Advantage: Mobility and Efficiency

At the heart of MechProTech philosophy is a game-changing approach to plant design. Its modular equipment is engineered to be easily movable, fundamentally shifting the operational paradigm.

“Our core concept is to take the equipment to the orebody, rather than bringing the orebody to the equipment,” the company states. This mobility not only provides unmatched operational flexibility but also significantly reduces civil construction requirements and associated costs, delivering a faster, more economical path to production.

Comprehensive Product Portfolio

MechProTech offers end-to-end solutions across the mineral processing circuit:

• Comminution: A full range of crushers, mills and scrubbers.

• Classification: High-performance rotary barrel screens and vibrating screens.

• Hydrometallurgy: Specialised reagent plants, thickeners, and mixers.

• Materials Handling: Integrated systems including feeders, conveyors, and radial stackers.

• Pilot Plants: Custom-designed pilot plants that seamlessly scale to full production facilities.

Innovating for a Sustainable Future

Demonstrating a forward-looking vision, MechProTech has entered a new product category: electronic waste equipment and plants. This strategic expansion into e-waste processing positions the company at the forefront of the circular economy, providing sustainable solutions for the world’s growing electronic waste challenge.

Powered by Engineering Expertise

MechProTech’s significant growth over the last three years is powered by its greatest asset: its people. The company has strategically resourced a dedicated team of 25 engineers, encompassing mechanical, electrical, process and civil disciplines. This multidisciplinary expertise ensures that every project is backed by integrated, world class engineering from concept to completion. Driven by innovation, proven by performance, and powered by expert engineering, MechProTech is not just a supplier but a strategic partner for the future of mining and processing.
