About Us

ScanMin Africa (Pty) Ltd specializes in the supply and support of on-line real-time analysers used in different mining and mineral beneficiation processes.

Bryan Buttemer founded ScanMin during 2000 to capitalise on the local opportunity of supplying and supporting the analysers. Keith Buttemer joined him early in 2001 to focus on market development and to implement the marketing strategies.

The purpose of the analysers is to supply real time information for process control, facilitating plant stabilisations and optimisation. Typical applications would be the bulk analysis of materials such as coal and ore while it is being transported (usually on conveyer belts) either at the source, point of receipt or point of distribution. Other applications include particle size analysis in dry material or in opaque slurries and moisture measurement in material on a conveyor belt.

Scanmin philosophy of supplying reliable instruments, effective and efficient after sales support, maintenance and services to the industry and the supplied equipment has made us a preferred supplier to major mineral and power companies.

ScanMin now boats a variety of operational analysers in the field, which serve as valuable reference sites for the equipment and service supplied by the company.

Scanmin are now a global company operating in many different countries with installations in China, Russia, Australia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa.

We would welcome enquiries from established distributor’s operating in the mining and beneficiation industries.
