In August 2002, Soeicom (www.soeicom.com.br) granted Mavi a contract regarding ten heavy duty vibratory feeders Vical-A type, 600 mm wide x 1750 mm long for up to 120 t/h output, after performing a two years test with similar equipment from Mavi.

These feeders will replace maintenance intensive apron feeders and help reduce costs. A special "bankers free" financing operation sponsored by Mavi helped settle this contract and allow Soeicom to revamp this part of their installation with modern vibratory equipment.
