1 Group Profile Part 2 Winder Division 1

2 Winches, winders & hoists Over 6,000 winches and winders installed over the past 79 years in southern, central and northern Africa, the United States of America and Russia Winches & Winders manufactures the Fulton range of winders for use mainly in the southern African mining industry. Fulton winders are designed to the highest quality standards and are built to last (see name plate at right). Today they continue with the heritage entrenched nearly eighty years ago by John Kerr Fulton. We design and install new winches, winders & hoists to our customers special requirements and specifications. Name plate on a fifty year old Fulton winder recently sent to us by a customer for refurbish- The Fulton reputation for long life and high reliability is maintained from job inception to final commissioning and hand-over. We hold full technical details, records and drawings for all Fulton winders in the market, and supply a full range of spares as well as upgrading and refurbishing of existing winders. Our refurbishing capacity is also offered on all other makes of winders. Double Drum winder during manufacture at our Works All projects are completed using the latest state of the art winder technology, full CAD and Finite Element Analysis capability in house. Our turnkey packages can include supply of highly sophisticated, modern electrical controllers in various configurations, having the relevant safety circuits 2

3 Design & manufacturing capability Winders We design and manufacture a wide range of single or double drum custom designed winders up to 750kW capacity. Designs take into account such factors as loads, speeds, working environments, duty requirements, haulage materials and safety requirements. Duties range from stage winding to man, rock, and material hoisting, in vertical and incline shafts and in other construction applications. Small Winches: Our single drum hoists, type 25kN, 34kN, 48kN and 1200/60kN, are named for maximum rope pull. Dropset Winches for AngloGold Ashanti 3

7 New developments winders In response to market demand, we have designed an advanced single drum stage winder to be used in multiples of two for a stage mass of up to 200 tonnes and a rope diameter of up to 60mm. These have been manufactured for Eurochem s potash mine near Volgograd, Russia. Seen here is a photo (top right) showing part of two stage winders during production.

Drum machining is shown at right. 7

8 Winders are safety critical. Brakes are designed to fail to a safe condition in the event of loss of power. Fulton winder braking systems are designed to suit the application, and include the most up to date hydraulically released calliper and disc braking systems. We are presently supplying nine large winders, all with disc braking systems, to a variety of customers. Below is a photo taken during assembly of nine disc braking systems, power packs & accumulators assembled in our factory. We include very sophisticated speed and deceleration devices such as E.S.C.O.R.T. 8

9 We also supply a range of gearboxes. We are the only manufacturer of winder gearboxes in the southern hemisphere. Winder conveyance tipping arrangement designed and manufactured for Gallatin Materials, Louisville, Kentucky USA Driver s control desk 9
