In 1950, MAGOTTEAUX developed the first cast chromium balls in its
foundry located in Vaux, Belgium. Today, the Group produces more
than 250,000 tonnes per annum of grinding media and wear parts, in
specialized production units located in major global markets.

MAGOTTEAUX continues to develop solutions to fight against wear

mechanisms met in crushing, grinding and pyro-processing applica-
tions, and now offers, over 150 alloys created from special chemical
compositions and heat treatments. MAGOTTEAUX guarantees security
of supply and quick delivery of reliable and competitive grinding media
and wear parts, around the world.

MAGOTTEAUX intends to remain the reference supplier by offering

quality products as well as the necessary resources to fulfil its custo-
mers needs i.e.: optimization of technical and/or economic perfor-
mances, service(s) as requested, best suited customer/supplier
relationship.

THE CHOICE OF THE MEDIA

DEPENDS UPON:
. the material to be ground and its granulometry,
. the grinding process,
THE CHOICE OF THE MEDIA
. the relative importance of the wear mechanisms
DEPENDS UPON THE MATERIAL
to be dealt with (abrasion, corrosion, impact), TO BE GROUND.
. the factors influencing these mechanisms.

GRINDING PROCESS:
FROM PASSION TO EXPERTISE

Grinding became a passion to us 50 years ago. On this foundation

we built, not only the Groups expertise but also Slegtens expertise, the
Engineering Company of the Group which is also a key player in terms of
process recommendations.

MAXIMIZING THE QUANTITY AND/OR QUALITY OF A MATERIAL WHILE

MINIMIZING THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO GRIND IT, IS A CHALLENGE
OUR ENGINEERS WILL BE TAKING UP WITH YOU.

To do so, they will rely on the results of tests being carried out:
. in laboratory (Slegten hardness test, chemical or mineralogy tests),
. in our pilot grinding plants or in our batch mill grinding stations,
. on site, in partnership with you.

INNOVATION FIRST
AS A PIONEER, MAGOTTEAUX GOES ON INVESTING IN THE RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW GRINDING MEDIA.

In our laboratory and our pilot foundry, we test new techniques and new
foundry processes, and develop new products such as the KERAMAX
MT1, an innovative composite solution valued by our customers active in
the field of ultra-fine grinding.

AT THE SAME TIME, MAGOTTEAUX KEEPS ADAPTING EXISTING

SOLUTIONS SO THAT THESE FULFIL YOUR MOST DEMANDING
REQUIREMENTS.
