Theft-proof zinc alloy couplers for mining

Couplers facilitate the connection of electrical cables to mobile mining equipment. The cost of replacing stolen couplers is often further exacerbated by subsequent downtime and production losses. In an endeavor to come up with a cost-effective solution for customers and end-users, Proof Engineering embarked on a three-year research and development programme and pioneered the ProAlloy zinc coupler. This revolutionary unit presents a three-in-one solution for industry – reduced theft risk, lighter weight and lower cost. Instead of the traditional materials, the ProAlloy is manufactured to specification…

Couplers made theft-proof

Couplers are traditionally manufactured from brass, leaded gun metal or stainless steel, making their high weight-to value ratio presents a theft risk. Proof Engineering therefore pioneered the ProAlloy zinc coupler, which offers reduced theft risk, lighter weight and lower cost. The ProAlloy is manufactured to specification from a zinc, copper and aluminium mix which holds no resale value, making it a “non-theft material”. The aluminium contaminates the mix and decreases the value from approximately R35/kg to R6/kg. The patented non-theft material also makes the couplers 33% lighter compared…
