V
edanta Zinc International
recently ordered a large
exciter-driven grizzly feeder
and a sizing screen for its Gamsberg
Zinc Project near Aggeneys in South
Africa’s Northern Cape province.
Gamsberg is set to exploit one of
the largest known, undeveloped
zinc ore bodies in the world,
with South Africa-based ELB
Engineering Services conducting
the engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) services.
Johannesburg-based Kwatani
supplied the heavy-duty grizzly
feeder capable of feeding over 750
tonnes per hour of ore. Built with cast
manganese grizzly bars for durability,
the feeder is able to withstand
maximum lump sizes of up to 1.5m.

Kwatani also supplied a single-
deck, motor-driven sizing screen
of the same throughput capacity.
“We have completed our part of the
project, and are ready to commission
the equipment in line with the overall
plant construction schedule. We also
assisted Gamsberg with the design of
the chute that will feed the grizzly,” says
Kim Schoepflin, CEO at Kwatani.
