Why Mufulira needs fluid couplings
Copper mining with smelting and acid plants. Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
Zambia is Africa's second-largest copper producer. The Copperbelt drives most industrial demand, while Lusaka is the commercial centre. Cargo arrives by road or rail through Dar es Salaam, Durban, Beira or Walvis Bay.
