CDE announce distribution agreement for Africa

Pilot Crushtec to promote full range of CDE equipment in South and sub-Saharan Africa

CDE have announced the addition of Pilot Crushtec to their global distributor network with responsibility for promoting the full range of CDE washing equipment, including the Evowash sand washing plant, Prograde screens, M2500 mobile washing plant, Rotomax log-washers and Aquacycle thickeners, in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

Commenting on the announcement, Des Crawford, CDE sales manager for Africa, said: ‘We are happy to welcome Pilot Crushtec to our distributor network as we seek to build on the early success we have had in Africa to date.’

Based near Johannesburg, Pilot Crushtec are one of the most established names in the provision of crushing, screening and washing equipment to quarries and mines throughout Africa, and the addition of CDE washing equipment is seen by the company as an enhancement of its existing product offering.

‘We see significant opportunities for the application of CDE equipment both in the construction materials and mining sectors, to allow operators to enjoy increased efficiencies and produce higher-quality products,’ said Pilot Crushtec director Graham Kleinhans.

The agreement follows the completion of the first CDE washing plant in South Africa last year for Natal Portland Cement in KwaZulu-Natal.

‘The presence of a CDE installation in South Africa which has delivered significant efficiency improvements for the customer will assist us greatly in securing further business,’ commented Mr Kleinhans.

Pilot Crushtec say a series of planned site visits will be arranged to the NPC site in the coming weeks to allow them to demonstrate the performance of the CDE equipment to their customers.’
