Mined materials are found in a wide range of consumer products, such as cars, electronics, jewellery, and energy sources. In the mining industry today, a major focus is on safety, efficient production, cost reduction, and environmental impact mitigation while maintaining high quality standards.
Crucial to achieving these goals is the use of advanced mining tools that can withstand harsh conditions to minimise downtime, reduce maintenance needs, and ensure uninterrupted production.
Dixon products play a vital role in this landscape, offering high quality tools and services tailored to the specific needs of the mining industry. Known globally for their superior quality, safety, and ease of assembly, Dixon’s Trusted Original Products are utilised by some of the largest mining companies worldwide.
Dixon's products are designed for all types of mining operations, from exploration to refining, ensuring reliability and efficiency throughout the entire mining life cycle.
Poor quality and inferior imitation mining tools are prevalent in the market, often leading to inefficiency and frequent downtimes. Companies like Truco in South Africa advocate for Dixon products, supplying them to significant mining operations such as the Anglo American, Mogalakwena platinum mine situated in the north-western quadrant of the Limpopo Province in South Africa and the Debswana Jwaneng Diamond mine in Southern Botswana.
Truco’s Managing Director, John Tait, liaises closely with onsite mining engineers and says ‘every hour of production is important for mining operations, which is why mines insist on using quality products. Mines don’t want to be continually fixing their equipment, but want the equipment to work for them, and this is where Dixon come in.
With quality products ensuring production up-time, and a team of experienced technical engineers resolving any problems, using Dixon products allows the mine to keep doing what they do best, mining. Together with Truco’s on-site personal and stock holding, Dixon can service any mining clients need in Africa.’
Water is fundamental in nearly every mining process, from dust management and drilling to mineral processing. Therefore, the equipment used for water service lines and dewatering applications must be robust and reliable.

Dixon’s trademarked Minsup® and Surelock® fittings, Econovalves, and a range of other products, including hose assemblies and ANFO loaders, are trusted components used globally. These high-quality, genuine components are essential for maintaining continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
As mining technologies evolve, becoming safer, more efficient, and cost-effective, Dixon remains committed to producing durable products capable of meeting the demanding environmental conditions of modern mining. Their innovative approach to product development ensures that the future of mining will be smarter and safer, keeping processes moving smoothly and efficiently.
