Haver & Boecker Niagara recently opened a new service and support facility in Parauapebas, Brazil.
The company – which provides screening, pelletising and mineral processing plants and systems – welcomed clients, partners, friends, local community and city authorities to the grand opening celebration on May 18.
The 4,000 square-metre facility provides service and support for mining and quarrying operations throughout the region through cutting-edge diagnostics, equipment refurbishment, parts stocking and more.
“Providing quality service and support is at the heart of what we do. At Haver & Boecker Niagara, we strive to be an extension of an operation’s service team,” said Clayton Carvalho, managing director of Haver & Boecker Niagara’s Brazil operation. “We offer an array of service and support options to increase customer savings and equipment longevity. With the addition of the Parauapebas facility, we can more easily provide unmatched service and support onsite for our customers to help maximise their screening performance.”
The new facility has the capacity to manufacture 800 different part numbers and can refurbish 120 vibrating screens and 240 exciters. It features a paint booth, a rainwater collection system, water treatment, water and oil separation, 100% LED lighting with lower energy consumption and a natural lighting structure. Additionally, the new Parauapebas facility features a 50/15-ton overhead crane, a blasting booth and air conditioners.
Carvalho added: “Today, Haver & Boecker Niagara is responsible for the production of more than 50% of the mining equipment in the Brazilian region. With the anticipated demand, the new service centre further benefits the community by increasing job opportunities for the local community.”
