Optimal Solutions for Bulk Material Handling
TENOVA. innovative solutions for metals and mining
Tenova TAKRAF is an integrated solutions provider to the global mining, bulk material handling, minerals processing
and beneficiation industries, offering innovative technological solutions as well as process and commodity
knowledge along the industry value chains. With the integration of the well-known DELKOR and, more recently,
the Tenova Advanced Technologies (formerly Bateman Advanced Technologies) brand of products into TAKRAF,
our portfolio for the mineral processing and beneficiation sectors has been considerably enhanced.
TAKRAF is a key supplier of equipment and systems for open pit mining and bulk handling, having provided hundreds
of complete systems, as well as individual machines, to clients all over the world. Based upon more than a century of
experience and know-how, the product range stretches from overburden removal, raw material extraction, conveying,
processing, comminution, homogenizing, blending and storage to onward transport or shipment.
TAKRAF provides the full range of services, from project studies, planning, engineering and design to fabrication,
supply, erection and commissioning, technical assistance, service and after-sales service for plants, systems and
equipment. Its equipment has proved robust and reliable in adverse geological conditions, in extreme climates with
temperatures down to minus 45°C, in dust, wind or extreme humidity, as well as in seismic zones and altitudes of up
to 5,000 m above sea level or in underground applications.
TAKRAF has committed to both environmental and social sustainability in their business interactions and has adopted
a Zero harm approach to safety under the SAFETY FIRST promise of the Tenova Group.
