Jacon Equipment’s line of shotcreting machines is now available in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
The Australian-owned supplier of underground shotcreting and related equipment is entering the North American market via Archer Mining & Civil Services, located in Sudbury, Ontario, as its distributor and general sales agent.
“We are pleased to have Archer Mining as our GSA,” said Adam Doyle, President, Global Sales for Comet and Jacon Equipment.
“Steve Archer and his team have very deep roots in the underground equipment world in North America; they are already making inroads for Jacon.”
Jacon’s offering includes eight models of shotcrete equipment, six models of concrete transport equipment, eight models of concrete pumping equipment and eight models of utility equipment.
Jacon’s flagship products include the MaxiJet MX3 MKII, a shotcrete sprayer with a triple-extension boom, 26 cubic metre per hour spray capacity, and a nozzle offering 360-degree rotation and 180-degree tilt. As well, the Transmix 6000 Shotcrete Combo, a mixer and sprayer designed for single-operator use with autofill functionality and a dual-cabin setup for optimal efficiency is a flagship machine for the company.
The company is a fully owned subsidiary of the publicly traded Maas Group and has recorded significant growth in the last year. The company has achieved strong sales across Australia, New Zealand Indonesia and South Africa.
“We’re capitalizing on that momentum with a strong start in North America,” Doyle said. “The introduction of Jacon Equipment into this market effectively doubles miners’ and tunnellers’ current choice in shotcrete sprayers, transport and pumping equipment.”
Archer Mining & Civil Services is a Canadian company that provides products and services for heavy industries such as underground and surface mining, tunnelling, and construction. The company offers fabrication, manufacturing, repair, cost analysis and efficient project management.
“We are so pleased to offer Jacon Equipment from Australia,” said Archer President Steve Archer. “This line of equipment fills in the voids — pardon the pun — in what’s available to miners in North America at the moment. For instance, Jacon has eight different shotcrete sprayers—there’s a right size for every job. They make their own pumps. Vehicles have cabs both front and rear. I could go on. This equipment is tremendous value.”
