Osborn product manager Emile Oosthuyzen explains that the screens will be employed at Petra Diamonds' Cullinan operation, where a new tailings reclamation plant is being set up. This order comprises six Osborn IFE Screens – two 12” x 24” double deck screens and four 12” x 24” single decks – as well as one 3” x 16” Osborn Obex single deck screen.

Osborn netted this order based on its competitive pricing, as well as its long-established reputation as a supplier of robust, high quality products, Oosthuyzen says. Petra Diamonds currently has a wide range of Osborn machines in operation at Cullinan, he adds, including vibrating grizzly feeders, screens, scrubbers and crushers.
