Consolidating concrete – the role of ready-mix in SA
Billy Paton, managing director of Afrimat Readymix, speaks to Quarry Southern Africa about some of the challenges and opportunities that its Western Cape operations have faced over the past few years.
High demand for materials can lead to increased profit for an aggregates operation— that is, if it can keep up and maintain maximum efficiency. That is why it is important for producers to choose the best tools for the job, particularly when it comes to screen media for vibrating screens.
Johan van Wyk, recently appointed director of the Southern Africa Readymix Association( Sarma), shares his thoughts on the ready-mix industry and the direction of the construction industry for 2017.
