CDE extends African distribution network with Pilot Crushtec

Pilot Crushtec has joined CDE Global's distributor network, with responsibility for sales of CDE washing systems to South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. This includes the Evowash sand washing plant, Prograde screens, the M2500 washing plant, Rotomax log washers and Aquacycle thickeners.

According to Pilot Crushtec director Graham Kleinhans: "As a company with an exclusive focus on washing applications, CDE products are widely recognised as the premier choice. We see significant opportunities for the application of CDE equipment both in the construction materials and mining sectors to allow operators to enjoy increased efficiencies and produce higher quality products."

This agreement follows on the heels of the completion of the first CDE washing plant in South Africa in 2010 at a Natal Portland Cement in KwaZulu-Natal. This is planned to be used as the location for a series of site visits to demonstrate the performance of the CDE plant to potential customers from the region.
