Patent
Mining Shovel Dipper Door Control
S.A. Patent: 2006/07056
I have designed and manufactured a weight-activated buffer for controlled opening and closing of dipper doors to minimize the banging that causes cracking, impulses wear and noise.
Successfully implemented and tested, the buffers have resulted in substantial savings in production costs, downtime and repairs.
It is my intention to move to the UK permanently with my family in the near future, so would be interested in suitable managerial positions in the UK.
