IMS Engineering’s continued investment in South Africa resulted in expanding their facilities on Derrick Road, Spartan. Their modern facility combines an extensive service centre and warehouse, and provides engineering, sales, marketing, and administration functions. It also features a fully functional training centre and one of the most comprehensive test plants for crushing, screening, and sensor sorting in Southern Africa.
These test plants feature a range of crushers and HPGR equipment, as well as an X-ray sorter, induction sorter, colour sorter, 3D sorter, twin mass screen and an upcurrent classifier.
IMS Engineering began its comminution industry involvement in 1962 as the Southern African licensee for HAZEMAG’s impactors, hammer mills, and roll crushers. This deal also included MinPro’s feeder breakers, horizontal jaw crushers and related equipment.
In 2004, IMS Engineering recognized the benefits of HPGR technology and partnered with Germany’s Köppern to access their HPGR, briquetting, and compaction equipment.
In 2010, IMS Engineering extended its range to include separation and sorting technology. This includes traditional magnetic separation and advanced sensor sorting using eddy current, optical, and X-ray technologies for material and mineral separation.
2012 saw the inclusion of the allmineral range of products into the IMS Engineering stable. This involved jigging machines, fluidised bed separators, air-pulsed jigging machines, and magnetic separators.
In 2016 IMS Engineering was awarded the HUSAB contract and established a branch in Namibia.
IMS Engineering extended their manufacturing rights for ETCL/Kawasaki in 2017 to include Europe and North America.
