A large Brazilian steel company from Minas Gerais in Brazil placed an order for larger equipment with Mavi, heavy feeders Vical-A type and subsequent horizontal double drive Velopen screens 1.200 x 4.000 mm, for pelletized iron ore.

The plant operates Mavi equipment since the 1970's and is replacing as well as expanding 5 lines.

This turn the company also decided to replace three very old screens from competitors for single drive inclined Velopen 1.400 x 3.500 mm screening machines.

The downturn of the Brazilian Real has somehow inhibited imports from (mainly) China and is helping machine builders to recover, but starting modestly.
