4th Quarter 2013
Pneumatic systems & components
Pneumax has grown into a complete solutions provider in the fields of industrial automation, process control and motion and control technology. Recently, the company expanded its footprint by opening branch offices in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
“Pneumax has experienced amazing results,” says managing director, Adrian Buddingh. “We were selected as the supplier of choice for a number of recent projects requiring pneumatic automation components for water treatment processes, supplying control equipment such as process valves fitted with pneumatic quarter-turn actuators, solenoid valve terminals and numerous other accessories.”
In the mining sector the company has also shown above average sustainable growth. “Our knowledgeable team is dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service and it shows in our recent results,” says business development manager, Johan Bester.
Business in the automotive sector has also shown good growth results, with Pneumax supplying automation components and systems to various OEMs and end-users. Sales across other industry sectors, such as food and beverage, packaging and consumer goods has also seen good stability taking into consideration the current economic climate.
Apart from pneumatic automation components, Pneumax also offers customised control systems, including PLC and HMI systems, components for dust extraction, vibration and deceleration equipment and vacuum technology.
Pneumax will soon be offering training courses on servo motor selection and will be adding to its already diverse product offering the range of SEW-Eurodrive motors and gearboxes. This is thanks to the recent collaboration of the two companies in the Pneudrive Challenge as well as the appointment of Pneumax as a certified reseller of SEW products.
