Integrated Air Solutions highlights African mining potential at Electra Mining
Integrated Air Solutions Managing Director Grant Robinson spoke to Engineering News & Mining Weekly during the Electra Mining Africa event, held in Johannesburg from 7 to 11 September 2026. Camerawork: Miko Moodley. Editing: Nicholas Boyd.
The outlook for mining in Africa remains positive, although improvements to the investment and business environment are needed to unlock the continent’s mineral potential. South Africa’s mining sector is showing signs of recovery following a period of decline, but further growth will depend on legislative changes, investment, skills and access to quality products.
Compressed air is an important part of mining and industrial operations, with applications ranging from small compressors to large systems used underground for ventilation and operating processes. Integrated Air Solutions supplies compressed-air equipment and services, with stock availability and response times important when customers require maintenance or replacement components.
Energy efficiency is also a growing focus, with the company using Electra Mining Africa to launch Demand Match, a worldwide patented LG technology designed to enable fixed-speed compressors to operate more closely to variable-frequency-drive machines. The technology can deliver energy savings of up to 17% on electrical machines, while the company has extended compressor warranties from five years to 10 years.
Integrated Air Solutions is the LG channel partner in South Africa and is expanding through new branches and sales partners across the country, with the aim of increasing its coverage of the mining and industrial sectors.
