Unplanned equipment failures can seriously disrupt operations in the cement, quarrying, and mineral processing sectors—resulting in costly downtime, reduced output, and increased maintenance costs. Global reports indicate that unplanned downtime can cost industrial manufacturers up to *$50 billion (approx. R950 billion) annually.
At NewElec, we deliver advanced motor protection solutions that improve operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and protect essential motors used in processes used in crushers, kilns, mills, conveyors, and slurry pumps.

Why risk it?
Even just one hour of unplanned downtime in an industrial setting can cost over *$100,000 (approx. R1.9 million).
Motors in heavy industries operate under extreme loads and conditions, increasing the likelihood of electrical faults, overheating, and vibration-related failures.
Preventable breakdowns reduce equipment lifespan and drive up repair and energy costs.
