2009 not yet the expected catastrophe for Latin America and its bulk process equipment manufacturers

Despite the world financial crisis and less orders from the so called first world countries, Mavi has suffered less than expected.

Our position among machinery manufacturers in Latin America has consolidated itself to a stable standard, with interesting sales to Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Southern USA, Mexico and Chile during 2008 and expecting a similar but surely little smaller total sales for 2009.

But not as catastrophic as we initially expected. As the Brazilian real lost its value towards the US dollar, freight prices decreased significantly and third party labor costs plunged accordingly, Mavi has kept quality and delivery schedules with much lower prices.

With less exposure to the banking system and financing needs, in fact none at all, Mavi is stil a reliable source for modern vibratory equipment since 1961.

All types of vibratory drives, light and heavy equipment from screeners to feeders, from vibrating tables to long conveyors produced in Brazil, exported throughout the world. For more on us, have a look at the pictures.

1 Mavi´s vibratory drives are the standard to many countries handling sugar, coal, iron ore and heavy minerals. Here the KA-6001 (60.000 hours working life) excentric drive.
2 Brazil´s sugar industry has over a 1.200 machines from Mavi for raw sugar conveying, fine sugar screening, drying, compacting, releasing, unloading and scale feeding
3 Brazilian foundries are privileged users of heavy handling equipment for hot sand, cast parts hot and cold, castings coolers, shake-outs, sand coolers, feeders, silo dischargers, etc, being Mavi the leader for this kind of equipment since 1982.
4 Scrap recycling equipment. Mavi delivered machines from São Paulo Brazil to Osaka, Japan. From aluminium cans processing to injection needles recovery in hospitals.
5 Sand and steel shot blasting equipment fed by Mavi vibratory conveyors in a Brazilian automotive plant. Some interesting partnerships have been done in this field of applications.
6 Most machines build under CADim (Computer Aided Dimensioning), with many programs developed by Mavi technicians.
7 Developing new long life extra- heavy duty weather and flood proof vibratory drives, for special applications (i.e. offshore, mining, etc). Here a long lasting flood test.
8 Vibratory cells, the super reliable vibratory drive, with external electric motor, suited for heavy feeders (up to 2000 t/h), giant screeners and heavy foundry shake-outs. Mavi is the only manufacturer on the southern hemisphere, with units sold fr
9 A large machine shop and extensive overhead moving capabilities are a must for machine handling up to 25 tons parts. The São Paulo Mavi machine shop, 4.000 sq.mtrs.
10 Prototype development, Mavi is adapting older drives to new standards and requirements. A special team develops drives since 2000.
11 Team-work. A Mavi speciality, coordinated by specialists and external consultants improved Mavi quality and working atmosphere to better standards. ISO 9001 was the result, adopted and introduced in 2003.
