Other technologies
Powermite has launched an impressive display of unique new cable glands, innovative couplers, reflective mining cables and a host of high quality, rugged electrical components. The state-of-the-art cable glands feature a unique double-compression O-ring which can secure and seal cables safely and efficiently. This complements the company’s comprehensive range of flameproof plugs, sockets, connectors, adaptors, couplers, plug couplers and luminaires. “The successful expansion of our basket of offerings enables us to offer the cable plus the connector plus the AMPgland, positioning Powermite as a solutions provider for virtually any electrical installation,” says marketing director, Donovan Marks.
Powermite also offers the ProAlloy, a low theft risk, low weight coupler manufactured by flame- and explosion-proof product specialist and sister company, Proof Engineering. The coupler is manufactured to specification from Powermite’s patented non-theft ProAlloy material. These ProAlloy couplers are 33% lighter in weight compared to their brass equivalents and are also lighter on the pocket, offering a perfect coupler solution to mining and industry.
In addition, Powermite’s rugged and flexible range of TPU mining cables is specially designed to withstand the hazardous conditions typically found in open cast mining. The resultant low maintenance leads to increased uptime and improved productivity for the end-user. Moreover, the orange and silver reflective tape, under an outer extra-heavy duty ICEA S-75-381 compliant TPU jacket, ensures easy identification, especially at night, for increased personnel safety and reduced risk of cable damage.
