Weir wins order to supply ENDURON® modular crushing plant
Weir has been awarded a contract to supply a 150 tonnes per hour crushing and screening plant for Bezant’s Hope and Gorob Copper-Gold Project in Namibia. The value of the agreement has not been disclosed.
The order includes an ENDURON® ET905 jaw crusher, an ENDURON® ET906 jaw crusher, a Trio® TF4012 vibrating grizzly feeder, a Trio® EF3605 vibrating pan feeder, a Trio® TIOSP6162 scalping screen, conveyor belts, and the supporting steel structure.
Recently, Weir launched its new range of ENDURON® jaw crushers, designed to enhance safety, boost productivity, simplify maintenance, and support sustainability goals.
The updated ENDURON® jaw crushers now feature a redesigned Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU), enabling push-button control of CSS adjustments. This eliminates manual intervention, significantly reducing safety risks for operators and maintenance teams. The new HPU also ensures consistent tensioning of the retraction springs at all times, improving reliability and ease of use across the full wear range of the jaw dies. Optimised motor power and oil tank capacity further reduce the HPU’s CO₂ footprint.
To improve performance and reduce downtime, all ENDURON® jaw crushers now include ESCO® wear parts, which extend wear life, reduce maintenance frequency, and increase equipment utilization, leading to lower operating costs and more efficient production.
JD Singleton, Weir Comminution Director for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, said:
“There is obviously a lot of time, effort, and resources that go into designing, developing, and bringing new products to market. The ENDURON® jaw crushers were developed in close collaboration with our customers, and it’s rewarding to see them performing well in some of the most demanding crushing applications.
“Today, miners are taking a more holistic view of operations. Instead of considering equipment in isolation, they focus on optimizing the entire flowsheet. As an end-to-end solutions provider, Weir understands this approach and worked closely with Bezant to develop a crushing and screening solution for the Hope and Gorob project that maximizes efficiency and helps meet ambitious production targets.”
Martyn Churchouse, Technical Director at Bezant, added:
“We are pleased to collaborate with Weir on this project. Their service centre, located less than an hour from the mine site, significantly reduces project risk. Crushing and screening plants require extensive maintenance, and having a hands-on partner who stands behind their equipment is essential to our success.”
