Vibra-Tech

What Vibra-Tech does

Vibra-Tech, trading as Tuscan Mood 65 (Pty) Ltd, is a private South African manufacturer of wire screen products and replacement spares for the mining industry. Headquartered in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, the company designs and produces woven wire cloth, crimped wire screens, perforated metal screens, polyurethane panels, rubber screen panels, and wedge wire panels, offering materials that span carbon and spring steel, stainless steel (304 and 316 grades), copper, and nickel alloys. Wire diameters range from 0.035mm to 20mm and crimp configurations span single, intermediate, double picket, lock, double shoot, and triple shoot styles, indicating a catalogue designed to fit the diverse vibratory screening equipment used across mineral processing plants.

The business model is B2B direct, quote-based sales of industrial consumables to mining customers, with revenue generated per order rather than through subscription, licensing, or volume contracts. The company supports both standard catalogue items and fully custom-built screens specified by material, aperture geometry, and hook type, which is the principal lever of customer fit in a category otherwise prone to commoditisation. The firm operates from a single facility with a headcount in the 11-50 employee band and has been in operation for more than two decades.

No proprietary software platform, patents, external investors, partnerships, regulatory certifications, or industry awards are disclosed in the available source data, and management information is limited to a single named founder. Vibra-Tech presents as an owner-operated, sub-scale industrial supplier competing on engineering customisation and local service rather than on technology, scale, or brand within the South African mining consumables market.
