Key benefits of mining service centres in Africa & Middle East

  • State-of-the-art facilities with a regional reach

    Our fully equipped modern machine and fabrication shop gives customers access to a sophisticated and versatile resource whenever they need it. Refurbishments can be rapidly undertaken to equipment that has been highly customised – without needing to wait for imports. We service the full range of FLS products. This includes a specialisation in high pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs), gearboxes, mill shell and trunnion white-metal bearings, crushers, feeders, breakers and sizers, which we can manufacture and refurbish in house.

  • Reduced delivery times help increase uptime and reduce costs

    With access to regional service centres, customers in Africa and the Middle East benefit from responsive support that helps keep downtime to a minimum. Our engineers can also be deployed on short notice to avoid long wait times, ensuring you get the local support you need to return to safe production.

  • Global expertise, local to you

    Many of FLS’s experts have a field service background, so they understand how your machinery works in the field. With an average length of service of well over a decade, and the backing of a global network of mining experts, you’re guaranteed quality results. We offer regular site visits across Africa and the Middle East, as well as more intensive levels of service such as bespoke maintenance contracts, and field service support teams for specific projects.

Repair and refurbishment

At our service centres in Chloorkop and Stormill, South Africa, we have the facilities for servicing, retrofitting and refurbishing a wide range of FLS products, including pumps, valves and cyclones, HPGR, gyratory crushers and gearboxes. Our rebuilds and exchange programmes provide a lower cost way to keep your machines running, giving you the high-quality components you need without the long lead time of new parts.

Spare parts

We keep a good stock of regularly need wear and spare parts and we’re also happy to support you with inventory management to avoid shortages.

Technical services

Our expert teams provide advice and guidance, troubleshooting, installation and commissioning, and a range of other services. You can think of us as your technical partner on the ground, strategically located to be close to the region’s mining operations.

Technical training

Our Training Academy nurtures highly skilled artisans who contribute to both the service centre and the market. A three-year comprehensive apprenticeship programme allows the company to develop the sought-after skills the market needs and provides a constant pool of talent within the company for succession planning and growth opportunities.

In addition, we can develop bespoke training programmes that meet your needs, to ensure you’re getting the maximum performance from your equipment through operational and maintenance best practice.

Rebuild & exchange – sustainable mining

We are committed to reusing and refurbishing components and equipment whenever possible. This reduces the requirement of costly imports from around the world, and the associated environmental impact.

Our exchange programme is a closed loop process in which worn components are rebuilt and put back into operation. Participating in the exchange programme ensures you get an as-new roller as soon as you need it, without having to wait for a rebuild to be complete.

In addition, we continuously upgrade our own facilities to use more renewable energies and reduce our use of natural resources.
