Southern African bearings and power transmission products distributor Bearings International (BI), a member of Hudaco Industries, is working closely with the manufacturers of the reclaimer chains in its product portfolio to penetrate the African market. BI product manager Frikkie Ras tells Mining Weekly that the company has received interest in these bulk materials handling products from Africa-based mining operations since introducing the reclaimer chains manufactured by Germany-based Kobo and US-based Rexnord November last year.
