ProAlloy zinc couplers from Powermite – making the perfect low weight-to-value low theft risk connection

Plugs, sockets and couplers which facilitate the connection of electrical cables to mobile mining equipment are high theft risk components and the cost to replace these critical parts is aggravated by downtime and subsequent production losses. “Couplers traditionally manufactured from brass, leaded gun metal or stainless steel carry a high theft risk due to their extremely high weight-to-value ratio,” says Donovan Marks, Marketing Director of Powermite, a Hudaco company. “Following a three year research and development programme, we came up with a perfect solution for industry in the form of a coupler that is manufactured from our patented non-theft ProAlloy material to specification.”
