EPE

EPE is a total solutions provider to the minerals and metals industries, specialising in the design and construction of modular plants, as well as providing the associated supporting infrastructure.

Combining a world class partnership between ELB Engineering Services and PBA Projects, EPE leverages on the extensive experience and intellectual property of the two partner companies, combining this into a single specialised company.

EPE offers complete modular processing plants for a variety of processing applications, which include coal, diamonds, gold and chrome. Both tailor-made plants and an off-the-shelf range (M-Range) are available.

The modular concept solves the problem of erecting a permanent facility when operations have to be moved to other locations. In addition, the modular concept accelerates the project due to the fact that both module and civil work can be carried out concurrently. A spider frame ensures the correct interface between the plant and the civil foundation at the assembly stage.

An EPE Modular Plant can be quickly assembled and disassembled at different sites at less cost than a conventional processing facility, thus eliminating an initial large investment that is out of reach of many small tonnage operations.

EPE plants are designed and constructed in such a way that they can be transported by standard road haulage. This allows for the delivery of the plant anywhere in the world that is serviced by standard road infrastructure. Module capacity typically ranges from 100 to 500 tph. Capacities greater than this are achieved easily by the installation of an additional modular plant to the desired output.        

All off-the-shelf components used in EPE modular plants have proven track records and are sourced from well established and respected suppliers to the industry.  Motor Control Centre (MCC) and control rooms are incorporated into purpose built 40 foot containers which are based on a ‘plug and play’ principle.
