PLANTING SEASON, WHICH IS

FAST APPROACHING. SO TOO ARE

THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SLOWLY

GETTING OUT OF THE WINTER

SNOOZE MODE AND PREPARING

WARM WELCOME WEATHER OF THE

NEW SEASON.

This means getting gardens and hectares ready, ripping

soil, spring cleaning and prepping for camping trips

and trying new things on the braai to impress the

manne.

Well, we have a little bit of everything in this edition

to cover all your bases. Starting with a look at some

absolute must have camping chairs from Basecamp,

be kind to your back and bottom while enjoying the

camping experience. Read more about it on page 13.

In our regular mech focus, we say thank you to all of

you who attended our Open Day which, from the

other article on page 8, you will see was a resounding

success. Mech Focus also helps you prepare for the

new season. Also look out for some exciting new

products on our new products page.

Spring being the harbinger of much needed rain in

the summer rainfall regions, means that its time to

maximise every drop. Read how to do so in our rain

harvesting article on page 11. And be sure to get your

irrigation system spraying away efficiently with our

range of K-Rain products. More about K-Rain on

page 3.

Yanmar continues to impress by delivering powerful

solutions in the mining sector. Read about it on page

10 to see how these tough, reliable engines are making

a decided impact in the industry.

If you’re stressing about how to come up with a

new move on the braai, fret no more, read all about

Crown Spices’ amazing new Meister Club sauces and

marinades on page 5.

And finally, a personal and heartfelt thank you to all our

suppliers and clients who attended the Prodist Open

Day. Thank you for adding to the atmosphere and

goodwill of the day, while making sure the information

sharing, product demos and networking were indeed

fun and memorable. We look forward to seeing you

THE PRODIST MECHANISATION

TEAM WOULD LIKE TO TAKE

THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK

EACH AND EVERY CUSTOMER

WHO ATTENDED OUR

MEMORABLE OPEN DAY 2017.

For those of you who weren’t able to attend, we have pleasure in sharing some photos of the day and our stands in this article.

Please diarise the event for 2018, which is not to be missed!

The event, held over three days, would also not be possible without the support of our loyal suppliers and partners in the agricultural industry. A special thank you to NBR, Timken, GUD, Bellota and Comer who played an active and interactive role during the exhibition.

All the newest products on offer were available to touch and inspect, and interesting discussions were held on the items, how they work, what they do and how to use them effectively.

The new products on show were the Pivot wheel , UDOR 350 pump, VT Rex disc, thick dart point sweep, ripper points for DLB, slasher part range,

Timken chain and belt range and the GUD light commercial vehicle filter kits. Do not hesitate to contact the Prodist team for more information on any of our new or existing products.

We are sure that these additional products will have added value for our customers, enabling them to provide a better array of products to offer the end user. It is also of the utmost importance that product ranges are kept up to date and in pace with the technological improvements in the market place.

With the new season close at hand, it is also important to make sure that the ranges are complete and

sufficient stockholding has been planned for. The Prodist sales team is at your disposal to help plan and ensure that we are locked and loaded as a distribution network to make sure the end user is ready for the coming season.

It is clear that this season will also have its challenges due to environmental impact restraints in China, which are hampering production schedules. The fluctuation of the currency and the steel price hikes will also play a huge role in the availability and price competitiveness of products. In addition, the lower grain commodity prices will also have an effect on our customers’ purchases, even though good crop yields were achieved.

THE WORD MEISTER IS GERMAN AND

ACCORDING TO THE GOOGLE DICTIONARY, IT

“DENOTES A PERSON SKILLED OR PROMINENT

IN A SPECIFIED AREA OF ACTIVITY.” AND THIS

IS EXACTLY THE LOFTY LAURELS BEHIND THE

CROWN SPICES BRAND OF MARINADES AND

SAUCES CALLED THE MEISTER CLUB®.

Meister Club® products have established themselves over many years and have become synonymous with superior quality. All Meister Club® products are top of the range and invariably top

sellers in their respective fields.

Whispers in the ancient spice trade would have us believe that the secret recipes date back to the times of the Grand Maesters and the important positions they held in the government of the Seven Kingdoms. Whatever the folklore, the fact of the matter is that Prodist now distributes the Meister Club brand, which is known for its superior quality of products in the meat industry, and the marinade range falls nothing short thereof! This multi-purpose range can be used as a saucy condiment or delicious marinade.

The retail range has become a hot topic on the retail shelf space with a “face-lift” which includes a beautiful shaped bottle and upmarket label with a touch of gold which resembles the superior quality.

Place your orders with Prodist right now and get these tasty Meister Club product lines onto your shelf pronto. Meister Club®Marinades include these

delicious sauces and marinades:

Meister Club®Basting - the steakhouse favourite.

CN8110827

Meister Club®BBQ - a perfectly balanced combination of traditional braai flavour with a

smokey surprise. CN8110826

Meister Club®Egte Sosatie - packed with fruit from the Boland. Taste the tradition of the Cape with this delicately

curried sauce. CN8110828

Meister Club®Garlic - Just the way Mama used to make it. A succulent creamy sauce with the fragrant hint of fresh garlic

and parsley. CN8110829

PRODIST OPEN DAYA HIT WITH SUPPLIERS!PRODIST’S OPEN DAY (27-29 JUNE) THIS YEAR

WAS HELD AT THE SPLENDID SERENGETI GOLF

AND WILDLIFE ESTATE - A CHANGE FROM THE

CONFINES OF THE PRODIST WAREHOUSE WHERE

IT WAS HELD PREVIOUSLY.

And by all accounts it would seem that the venue added to the event’s impact and allure for suppliers as over 600 clients attended and enjoyed 80 exhibits, which included live demos and interactions

with product managers.

The atmosphere was an electric combination of market professionalism and sales hutzpah harking back to the days of the first county fairs and trade shows, when customers and clients came from all corners of the country to see what was new in the market. K-Rain and Lasher’s stalls were noted as having the best exhibitions while the Prodist team added to the fun vibe by awarding prizes to clients randomly throughout the three days of the event.

“This event has grown in stature from year to year and I think this year we raised the bar in terms of venue, exhibits, organisation and atmosphere. We also had good interaction with clients and product managers and lots of

follow-up enquiries. I wish to thank all our exhibitors who participated and made the Prodist Open Day a success. This event is about cementing existing relationships and forging new ones. At the end of the day our goals are the same - to provide sustainable, quality solutions for our customers while having a great experience doing so. The Prodist Open Day epitomises this spirit perfectly.” – Brand Theunissen, Prodist MD.

Some of the official comments and feedback from both suppliers and clients included:

“Great talking to people with product knowledge who can promote their product. “

“It was very well-executed and I will definitely attend in future again.”

“OUTSTANDING”

“We had a great time, and it was very informative, especially on the new products.”

“Ek glo die tydsberekening vir die skou was in die kol aangesien die somerplant- en reënseisoen om die draai is.”

“Daar was beslis meer belangsteling en die besoekers het meer tyd by elke stalletjie deurgebring met vrae en belangstelling.”

“I was overwhelmed by the professional organisation, friendly staff, venue and catering. I believe the trade show (Open Day) was well-attended and a

great success. “

At the end of the expo the Prodist team moved through the stalls with Lasher wheel barrows and collected product gifts from suppliers, which were donated to the East Rand Protective Work Place.

VAN PRODISTDIE HOENDERBEDRYF IS

WEER IN DIE NUUS MET

BETREKKING TOT DIE

UITDAGINGS VAN STORTING.

DIT RAAK TOENEMEND

BELANGRIK VIR ONS PLAASLIKE

HOENDERBEDRYF OM VAS TE

TRAP EN GOED TE PRESTEER,

ONGEAG INVOERE UIT DIE

BUITELAND.

Een manier om seker te maak jou hoenders kom

nie huis toe nie, maar dat hulle opeindig in die

kospotte van ons plaaslike verbruikers, is deur

seker te maak dat jou kuikens die beste voerstelsels

het om vinnig in vet klein hoendertjies te verander.

Die beste manier om dit te doen, is om die Poltek

Massa-Kuikenvoerder van Prodist aan te koop.

Hierdie revolusionêre produk het ten doel om

jou geld en energie te bespaar wanneer jy jou

kuikens voer. Normaalweg gebruik hoenderboere

‘n voerapparaat soos ‘n platvoerbak om hul kuikens

te voer.

Die probleme waarmee ‘n boer gekonfronteer word

met so ‘n stelsel, is dat ekstensiewe hande-arbeid

benodig word en dat baie voer vermors word.

Kuikens hou daarvan om in hul kos rond te krap en

hulle loop dikwels bo-oor die voer. Dit lei tot ‘n reuse

vermorsing van voer wat op die grond val en die

kuikens mors op die voer (kontaminasie).

Die Massa-Kuikenvoerder verminder hierdie

probleme en in die proses bespaar die boer groot

hoeveelhede voer en moeite. Die basis van die

Massa-Kuikenvoerder is sorgvuldig ontwerp om

groot genoeg te wees vir kuikens om uit te eet,

terwyl dit klein genoeg is om te verseker dan kuikens

nie daarin kan kom om die voer te kontamineer nie.

Dit het ook ‘n ingeboude rand wat voorkom dat

voer op die grond val, wat weer voervermorsing

teenwerk. Die Massa-Kuikenvoerder het ‘n

drakapasiteit van 5 kg groeimeel, wat meer as

dubbeld die drakapasiteit van ‘n platvoerbak of

soortgelyke voertoerusting is. Dit beteken minder

tyd in die hoenderhuis, ‘n skraler kans vir bio-

gesondheidsgevare en minder moeite vir die boer.

Die Massa-Kuikenvoerder kan maklik gemonteer en

uitmekaar gehaal word, wat maklike skoonmaak en

opberging beteken.

Bestel dit nou van Prodist!

URBAN RAINWATER

SOUTH AFRICA’S PRODUCERS HAVE A

PROUD REPUTATION AMONG THEIR GLOBAL

COLLEAGUES FOR CREATING “MIRACLES” IN

FARMING.

Given our rainfall patterns versus yields, our producers know how to apply precision farming as well as every other trick in the book to get the most out of the dry conditions.

The ability to harvest rain during the rainy season is another trick up the sleeve of the producer, which has stood many a farm in good stead during the drier months. And with the rainy season around the corner, Prodist has the complete rain harvesting system to make sure home and farm can save every drop of rain coming its way. As previewed in our November/December issue of 2015, all the components in the diagram are just a phone call away at Prodist. Call now to place your order, or to replace certain parts since your initial purchase.

Rainwater harvesting is a practical, cost effective method of addressing some of our major water challenges in South Africa. The environmental impact of urbanisation has an effect on our water resources and this leads to the demand for rainwater harvesting systems. The benefits of rainwater harvesting are paramount to a sustainable water environment in urban areas and we need to spur on the uptake of these systems by residential, commercial and industrial property owners.

There has been a revival of urban rainwater harvesting in the past few decades as population pressures and increased cycles of drought and flood put strain on our water resources. The high cost of centrally supplied water, in both economic and environmental terms, has driven many people to consider more sustainable methods of water supply. Modern products (such as the ones supplied by Prodist) and system design techniques can ensure a much higher quality of water than traditional low-tech gutter-to-barrel systems. This growing trend has put rainwater harvesting at the centre of the discussion as a cost effective and environmentally friendly solution that all urban inhabitants in South Africa can embrace.

South African domestic water consumers use about 4 trillion litres of water per year. If just 10% of property owners install rainwater harvesting systems and reduce their water consumption by 50%, we could save a staggering 200 billion litres per annum.

The three key elements of a roof harvesting system:

Leaf and debris catcher. Commonly known as a “rain head”, these devices are installed under a gutter or mid-mounted on a rainwater downpipe to prevent leaves and other debris from the roof entering the system. RHAD02/100

First Flush Diverter. Diverts the first flush of rainfall which contains contaminants such as bird droppings or chemical residue from the roof, and ensures that only the cleanest water enters your tank. RHFFDS/100

Insect Proofing. Screens with less that 1mm aperture must be installed at all entry and exit points to prevent vermin, mosquitoes, and other insects from infecting your water supply RHTAT005 / RHMESH / RHSCR480.
