447 Powerscreen has hosted a World Dealer Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, which was attended by more than 300 dealers and customers from across the world.

At Powerscreen's World Dealer Conference a demonstration was held where ten machines were operational

Damian Power, global product line director, said: "Cape Town is one of the most exciting venues in the world and was an easy choice as our host city. South Africa is a growing market and as the country's construction and road building segments continue to grow in conjunction with a thriving mining industry, it is a key strategic market for the complete Powerscreen product range.

"We have a long history in South Africa with ELB Equipment, which has consistently delivered an excellent record of customer service.

"The conference enabled us to strengthen the relationship with our dealer network from across the world, to gain significant insight into market trends and learn how we can better serve our loyal customer base in the years ahead."

A demonstration was held at Portland Quarry, where ten machines were operational. The first plant featured the large processing capacities of the XA750S jaw crusher with the Warrior 2400 screen. The second plant consisted of an XA400S jaw crusher, 1300 1533 Maxtrak cone crusher, H6203 screen, 1000SR recirculating cone crusher and a Chieftain 2100X 3 Deck screen. Then working alone was the XH320SR impact crusher.

For the first time at a Powerscreen event, a working washing plant was also on display: Chieftain 1700 Rinser screen and a Finesmaster 120 Bucketwheel dewatering plant.

Austin Carey, dealer principal for Blue Machinery Group Scotland, said: "Powerscreen delivered a fantastic and very informative World Dealer Conference in Cape Town."
