ARMEX EQUIPMENT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
ARMEX Equipment offers custom plant design, professional process consulting, robust conveyor systems, and high-capacity vibrating screens for the mining, quarrying, forestry, and agricultural sectors. We specialise in optimising site material handling to eliminate bottlenecks and reduce rehandling. We are also actively developing modular wash plant solutions.
Our Core Solutions:
Consulting & Plant Design: We conduct hands-on site assessments and bottleneck analyses to design high-efficiency material flow circuits tailored to your site’s physical layout.
Material Handling & Conveyor Systems: Custom-built and expertly sourced mobile stackers, link conveyors, overland transfer units, and feed hoppers designed to absorb high dynamic loads.
Precision Screening Equipment: High-frequency vibrating screens, mobile scalping screens, and trommel screens optimised to handle varying moisture levels for aggregate, sand, topsoil, and organics.
Modular Wash Plants: Sourcing, engineering, and integration of industrial sand washing systems, dewatering screens, and grit washers.

ARMEX Equipment balances cost-effective capital expenditure with extreme-duty local manufacturing. Unlike imported machinery with proprietary parts, we build our screens and conveyors using standard, universal components. This protects South African operators from volatile exchange rates, long port delays, and expensive wait times for overseas specialists.
The ARMEX Advantage:
Pragmatic, Jargon-Free Engineering: We prioritise structural durability and mechanical simplicity over over-complicated electronic sensors that fail in harsh, dusty operating conditions.
National Off-The-Shelf Spares: We use high-quality, standardised components (like bearings, pulleys, and gearboxes) that you can easily source from local industrial hardware suppliers across South Africa.
Frictionless Owner-Managed Support: When you call for support, you speak directly with Willem and Ansie Botha—the people who designed and backed your machine—not an overseas automated call center.

Getting started is simple and frictionless. Visit armexequipment.com and complete our two-minute online Needs Assessment survey to detail your target tonnes per hour (TPH), material type, and bottleneck areas. Willem Botha will review your site data and contact you directly via WhatsApp to arrange a complimentary consultation.
The 3-Step Process:
Submit Your Needs: Fill out our brief website survey regarding your material specifications and flow challenges.
Willem's WhatsApp Hook: We connect with you directly to gather raw site photos, videos, or sketches.
Flow Strategy Proposal: We present a clear, practical system design showing exactly how to optimise your circuit.

ARMEX operates on a transparent, Rand-based pricing model that eliminates the exchange-rate gamble of foreign imports. We deliver highly competitive capital expenditure costs and significantly lower long-term total cost of ownership (TCO) due to reduced maintenance complexity, standard local parts pricing, and drastically decreased unscheduled downtime.
-
Working with ARMEX is a hands-on, owner-managed partnership. We begin with a site assessment to diagnose material handling bottlenecks, design an optimised circuit layout, handle procurement and local manufacturing, and oversee on-site commissioning. After installation, you gain direct 24/7 access to our engineering team for support.
Our philosophy is built entirely on operator-to-operator trust. Because we have operated, repaired, and improved heavy processing machinery in the field since 2011, we never build a machine we wouldn't happily run in our own plant.

You can contact ARMEX Equipment directly by messaging lead designer Willem Botha on WhatsApp at +27 71 899 0018 for immediate sales and technical support. Alternatively, you can complete our online contact form, email us, or visit our manufacturing factory located in George, Western Cape, South Africa.
-
We eliminate shipping risks by fabricating all structural steel locally in George and engineering our conveyor systems and vibrating screens with standard, non-proprietary components. By avoiding imported parts, our customers bypass South African port delays, custom clearances, and Middle East shipping disruptions completely, keeping production running.
-
Yes. While ARMEX does not manufacture crushing technology, our conveyor systems and screening equipment are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with any major international crusher brand. We optimise the feed and discharge circuits surrounding your existing crushers to eliminate starved feeds, clean up fines, and maximise total plant throughput.
