As one of the most recognised and consistently high-impact exhibitors at this leading mining industry event, Integrated Pump Technology will once again use its presence at Electra Mining Africa to demonstrate why its dewatering solutions continue to deliver results across some of the continent’s toughest mining environments.

From emergency flood response and unexpected groundwater ingress to the design and implementation of long term mine dewatering strategies, the company has built an enviable reputation for understanding complex applications and providing solutions that work in the real world.

According to Jordan Marsh, Managing Director of Integrated Pump Technology, dewatering is rarely a one-size-fits-all exercise and success depends on understanding the specific realities of each operation.

“Every mine presents different challenges, from seasonal flooding and pit dewatering to underground water management and high-volume transfer applications,” Marsh says. “Success depends on selecting the right technology, sizing equipment correctly and ensuring rapid deployment when production is at risk. Our role is to make sure customers have a solution that is practical, reliable and aligned to both their immediate and long-term operational requirements.”

Integrated Pump Technology’s team has extensive experience across Africa in supporting mines facing exactly these challenges. Whether responding to urgent operational crises where downtime carries major financial consequences or working with customers to develop scalable long term pumping infrastructure, the company focuses on practical application-driven solutions.

At Electra Mining Africa 2026, visitors will be able to engage directly with these dewatering specialists to discuss their own site challenges and explore the most effective options for both immediate and future requirements.

On display will be pumps from the world-class brands represented by the company including Godwin diesel-driven pumps and Grindex electric submersible pumps. Together, these product ranges cover the full spectrum of dewatering requirements across mining, quarrying, construction and industrial applications.

Godwin diesel-driven pump sets are well known for their reliability, rapid deployment capability and performance in demanding open pit and emergency dewatering applications, while Grindex electric submersible pumps provide robust and efficient solutions for underground operations, high-head duties and continuous heavy-duty pumping requirements.

This combination allows Integrated Pump Technology to offer customers the flexibility of both short-term emergency intervention and permanent dewatering strategies designed to evolve with the mine over time.

In South Africa, customers are supported through a strong strategic distributor network that ensures fast and easy access to pumps, spare parts and technical support. This local accessibility is critical in dewatering applications where response times can directly affect production continuity and site safety.

Across the rest of Africa, Integrated Pump Technology has concluded several agreements with trusted regional partners, positioning the business to strengthen customer support while continuing to expand its footprint across key mining territories.

“Our intention is clear – we want to be the leading dewatering pump specialist in Africa,” Marsh says. “That is not simply about supplying pumps, it is about being responsive to customer needs, understanding their operating conditions and ensuring they have access to the right equipment, parts and technical expertise wherever they operate.”

He adds that Electra Mining Africa remains one of the most valuable platforms for face-to-face engagement with customers and industry stakeholders.

“This exhibition allows us to have meaningful technical conversations with customers who are dealing with real operational challenges,” he says. “It is an opportunity to demonstrate that successful dewatering starts with specialist knowledge and that the right partner can make a significant difference to productivity, safety and profitability.”

For operations where water management directly impacts performance, Integrated Pump Technology’s message is clear – reliable dewatering is built on expertise, responsiveness and partnerships that deliver long after the equipment is installed.

According to conveyor specialist Tru-Trac Rollers (Pty) Ltd, this approach is one of the primary reasons why conveyor failures continue to repeat across the industry.

As the company prepares for Electra Mining Africa 2026, Shaun Blumberg, COO of Tru-Trac, says its focus will not simply be on showcasing products but rather on changing how operations think about conveyor performance and the underlying causes of recurring system failures.

“Conveyor problems rarely exist in isolation,” Blumberg explains. “Replacing a component without understanding the cause often leads to the same failure returning. What may initially appear to be a tracking issue, for example, can quickly escalate into carryback, spillage, belt damage, excessive component wear and ultimately unplanned downtime.”

Tru-Trac believes that many conveyor systems are still managed incorrectly because visible symptoms are addressed without identifying the underlying system behaviour driving the problem.

This creates what Blumberg describes as an industry-wide “failure loop” – misalignment occurs, carryback increases, idlers and pulleys wear prematurely, spillage and belt damage follow, production interruptions occur, emergency maintenance is performed and the same problem returns shortly afterwards.

While these issues are often categorised as maintenance concerns, he argues that the impact extends far beyond the maintenance department.

“Conveyor performance is not only a maintenance concern. It is a production issue,” Blumberg says. “When conveyor systems underperform, the effect is felt across uptime, throughput, labour requirements, housekeeping, safety performance, belt life and ultimately overall plant efficiency.”

This thinking forms the basis of Tru-Trac’s engineering-led approach to conveyor performance support.

Rather than positioning itself as a supplier of individual components in isolation, Tru-Trac positions itself as a conveyor performance partner focused on diagnosing root causes, reducing repeat failures and improving long-term operational reliability.

Central to this approach is a structured five-step process that begins with understanding the conveyor system as a whole.

The first step involves assessing the full conveyor environment rather than focusing only on the visibly failed component. This includes evaluating system conditions, loading behaviour, belt tracking characteristics, transfer points, material build-up and operational conditions that may be contributing to ongoing performance problems.

Once the broader system has been assessed, Tru-Trac focuses on identifying the root cause behind the visible symptom.

“Misalignment, carryback, spillage and belt damage are often connected symptoms,” Blumberg explains. “The visible problem is not always the primary problem. Engineered intervention starts with understanding the system.”

Only once the root cause has been identified does product specification follow. He says engineering judgement and application understanding must always come before selecting a corrective intervention.

Tru-Trac then works with operations to ensure the correct solution is implemented properly on site before continuing with ongoing technical support, inspections and performance monitoring aimed at sustaining long-term conveyor reliability.

This shift from reactive maintenance towards engineered conveyor performance is expected to form a major part of Tru-Trac’s discussions with customers at Electra Mining Africa 2026.

The company believes the industry is increasingly recognising that conveyor failures cannot be solved sustainably through repeated replacement of individual components alone.

“Reactive maintenance fixes what breaks,” Blumberg says. “Engineered performance focuses on diagnosing, specifying, implementing and supporting the correct long-term solution.”

At Electra Mining Africa 2026, Tru-Trac aims to engage directly with operations around the broader production impact of conveyor instability and the importance of system-level diagnosis.

He says the company wants customers to move beyond viewing conveyor problems as routine maintenance frustrations and instead recognise them as operational performance issues that directly affect production targets, operating costs and reliability.

By focusing on root-cause analysis, engineered intervention and long-term performance support, Tru-Trac believes operations can significantly reduce repeat failures while improving uptime, belt life and overall conveyor reliability.

As conveyor systems continue to play a critical role in modern mining and bulk materials handling operations, Blumberg says the industry must move beyond reactive thinking and towards a more integrated approach to conveyor performance management.

“The goal is not simply to sell a component,” Blumberg concludes. “The goal is to improve conveyor performance.”

Early detection of potential issues on conveyor systems is crucial in mining and other materials handling applications and to address this need, Tru-Trac introduced the Rip Prevent+ system. This cutting-edge monitoring technology, which is set to disrupt the sector, identifies and mitigates conveyor belt anomalies and damages, thereby minimising downtime and enhancing efficiency and productivity.

The Tru-Trac Rip Prevent+ system, now available in Africa, allows mines to optimise their conveyor lines’ performance by preventing costly interruptions due to rip events. The system has already proven effective in global mining operations and was debuted locally at Electra Mining Africa.

AI features

Using a data-driven model and artificial intelligence (AI), the Tru-Trac Rip Prevent+ system can detect anomalies or rip events on any conveyor belt type, including metal cord, pipe and fabric belts. The innovative system was designed to avoid the need for sensor elements inside the belt, making it versatile for all conveyor systems.

The Rip Prevent+ system analyses data from the conveyor belt using an AI-based model. This AI, combined with an innovative algorithm, detects anomalies and rips, generating data and signals that allow customers to stop the conveyor line before significant damage occurs. The system’s model computes data 50 times per second and can generate a signal to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) within 0.2 seconds, reducing the impact of rip events.

By stopping the conveyor belt when a possible rip event is detected, the system minimizes associated damage, potentially saving millions in downtime, belt replacement, and cleanup costs. The system’s data-driven model offers significant advantages over inductive, magnetic and laser- based systems including reduced wear risk, suitability for all conveyor types and lower investment costs.

The Rip Prevent+ system is web-based and accessible via an Ethernet network connection, featuring a user-friendly interface with a dashboard displaying key information. Additionally, the system incorporates several functions beyond rip detection, including mass flow calculation, condition monitoring, drive or motor monitoring, energy efficiency and electrical network analysis, aligning with predictive maintenance strategies.

The Rip Prevent+ system is also easy to install, requiring only 30 minutes to an hour, with minimal downtime for electrical connections. Commissioning the system can be completed within two to five hours, depending on preparatory work and available system parameters. Notably, Rip Prevent+ is the first rip detection system offering a more affordable alternative through a subscription model that minimises initial capital investment.
