Why Kolwezi needs fluid couplings
The world's largest cobalt-mining district. Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
The DR Congo is the world's largest cobalt producer and a major copper producer, with Kinshasa as a huge consumer market and the copper belt supplied through East and Southern African ports.
