Scherf also reveals the background behind two major shifts in the company’ s marketing activities: a dramatic increase in the sale of spare parts and components, accompanied by a rise in requests for the refurbishment of used machines. Spares sales and marketing now fall within the remit of a dedicated division assisted in no small measure by the gain of the Metso franchise.
“ Pilot Crushtec International’ s fabrication arm, Pilot MacFab, is being scaled upward to match demand,” says Scherf.“ Despite the market being awash with pirate parts, a great deal of hard work has ensured that exworks prices remain within 10 % of lookalike offerings.” The spares market is all about availability and Scherf estimates the value of Pilot Crushtec’ s spare and wear parts current stockholding at around R140-million, managed by an advanced control system.
Working with Metso The second new machine introduced at the open day was the Metso Nordberg C80 jaw crusher, engineered to deliver maximum productivity at the lowest operating costs. The key benefit of Metso’ s Nordplant is its versatility, as it offers the possibility to combine primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary crushing stages, and can tackle all material types, from hard abrasive rock to soft rock applications. The Nordplant C80 primary crushing station is intended for use in modular configurations, and has a feed opening of 800mm x 510mm and capacity up to 335 tonnes per hour.
The skid-mounted crusher does not require concrete foundations, allowing for quick installation and easy plant integration. Areas where wear is anticipated are engineered to be easy to replace or protected by sacrificial wear items, ensuring that maintenance is easy and cost efficient over the long lifetime of the crusher. These designs protect the most expensive main components from wear and shorten maintenance time, resulting in higher uptime.
The open day was well supported by senior members of the Metso management team who expressed their complete confidence in their regional distributor.
“ The best partner we want to have is Pilot – we have allied philosophies especially a commitment to service and support,” says Adrian Wood, vice president, Distribution AGG Business Line.
