Engineering Solutions for Long Term Relationships

ELB Group Limited is the outcome of the

enthusiasm and foresight of a father and son

team which has ultimately resulted in the

development of one of South Africa’s most

dynamic and reputable international companies

involved in the design, manufacture and delivery

of engineered products to the mining, processing,

construction and infrastructure industries.

A young American mechanical engineer, Edward L

Bateman, was relocated to South Africa in 1903 by

Allis-Chalmers to assist their South African

representative in selling equipment to the mining

market.

ELB is proud of the fact that they have continually

maintained their business philosophy of never

walking away from a plant or project. The business

ethic and ethos of the company is based on sound

business principles with the over riding culture

typical of a long standing and successful family

business and hence emanating in being

recognized as an icon of the minerals and metals

industry.

The ELB Group has four areas of focus namely,

ELB Engineering Services, ELB Equipment, Ditch

Witch Australia, and B&W Instrumentation &

Electrical.

ELB Equipment has a number of locally designed

and manufactured products and represents

internationally-renowned manufacturers whose

products are designed to meet industrialized first-

world standards for earthmoving, construction,

mining, quarrying and recycling.

ELB Equipment offers the following solutions:

Providing customers with specialist solutions

that will enhance their profitability

Reacting quickly to customers’ needs, by

Engineering Solutions for Long Term Relationships

ELB Engineered Technologies is a total solutions

provider in the minerals and metals industries,

specialising in the design and construction of

process plants as well as providing the associated

supporting infrastructure.

Combining a world class partnership between ELB

Engineering Services and internationally recognised

technology suppliers, Engineered Technologies

leverages off the extensive experience and

intellectual property of our partner companies, in

designing and building innovative process solutions.

Engineered Technologies offers complete process

plants including modular processing plants for a

variety of processing applications which include

coal, diamonds, gold, phosphate, iron ore,

manganese and chrome. The modular concept

solves the problem of erecting a permanent facility

when operations have to be moved to other

locations. In addition, the modular concept

accelerates the project due to the fact that both

module and civil work can be undertaken

concurrently. A spider frame ensures the correct

interface between the plant and the civil foundation

at the assembly stage.

An Engineered Technologies plant can be quickly

and efficiently assembled and disassembled at

different sites at less cost than a conventional

processing facility, thus eliminating an initial large

investment that is out of reach of many small

tonnage operations and phasing of capital

investment for future capacity.

Engineered Technologies plants are designed and

constructed in such a way that they can be

transported by standard road haulage. This allows

for the delivery of the plant anywhere in the world

that is serviced by standard road infrastructure.

Module capacity typically ranges from 100 to 400

TPH. For capacities greater than this, it would

require the installation of an additional Modular Plant

to the desired output.

All off-the-shelf components used in Engineered

Technologies Modular plants have proven track

records and are sourced from well-established and

respected suppliers to the industry. MCC and

control rooms are incorporated into purpose built 40

foot containers which are based on a ‘plug and play’

principle.

We also offer a wide experience in a range of

commodities, with specialist expertise in

Dense Media Separation (DMS), Spiralling and

Gravity Concentration. Offerings include:

Processing Plants

Modular Conveyors

Crushing and Screening

Thickening Technologies

Ore Sorting

Magnetic Separation

Milling

Flotation

ELB Asset Management has developed an

innovative funding model to facilitate growing

primarily the Junior Mining Sector, focusing on

modular supplied plant and equipment.

Value is added by funding the development of the

mine, without the Mine Owner needing to spend

his own capital, sacrifice equity or employ

specialist engineering knowledge, in the interest

of converting his mineral resource into profit.

The funding mechanism is facilitated though

charging a rate based tolling fee for processing all

ROM material through the plant. The plant and

equipment will be designed, built, owned and

operated by the fund shareholder. The product

take-off agreement will be managed by an

independent party on behalf of the Mine Owner

and Fund Shareholders.

The business model best suits opencast mining

with surface stockpiled material or the recycling of

existing stockpiles. Underground mining will be

considered on a case by case base.
