Choice of plant and equipment key
to success in aggregate market A qualification path: the legacy of
Simon Tose’s two-year IQSA term The kiln is The Boss
The choice of plant and equipment
is the key to success in the aggregate
market where selling prices are typically
inflexible and highly competitive. With
cone crushers and feeders often having a
lifespan of 30 years and more, it is not easy
to change buying habits. Maintenance is
therefore frequently the deciding factor,
along with price and quality. Simon Tose stood down as chairman
of the Institute of Quarrying Southern
Africa (IOQSA) at the 50th anniversary
conference in April, at the conclusion of
his statutory two-year stint. His major
achievement was to put in place for the
first time a qualification path, which
enables future generations of South
Africans to become quarry managers.

Over the past 30 years, the process of
brickmaking has not changed except for
minor refinements. Corobrik’s Midrand
factory in Olifantsfontein was a state-of-
the-art construction almost 30 years ago.
And it still is.
