Following a successful Nampo 2023 show in Bothaville in May, BMG will be exhibiting at the Nampo Cape Show for the first time. This prestigious agricultural exhibition, which is held annually at Bredasdrop Park, will take place this year from 13 to 16 September 2023.
“This show, which attracted nearly 33 000 visitors last year, will be the perfect forum to launch new BMG agriculturalproducts to the Cape region. The BMG site, located outside at stand 90, will display our recently upgraded BTC bearing block unit (BBU) and housingproducts, which are manufactured exclusively for BMG, to stringent quality and safety specifications,” explains Carlo Beukes, Business Development Manager, Agricultural, Automotive and Lubricationdivisions, BMG. “Originally the BTC range was developed for light to medium rotating equipment applications, includingpackhouses and small conveyorsin general industry and the agricultural sector. However, with important upgrades, these robust BTC bearings and components are also perfectly suited for heavy–duty applications inmining, for example crushersand overland incline conveyor systems. The latest BTC pillow block’s biodegradable packaging excludes any plastic material, resulting in a saving of about 300 000 plastic bags a year.
