Industrial environments demand more than standard videography, they require technical understanding, safety compliance, and crews who can operate confidently around heavy machinery.
At Unbreakable Media, we specialise in Industrial Video Production South Africa, capturing complex engineering projects with accuracy, safety, and visual impact.
We’ve recently partnered with Intagrey on two standout projects:
Their XRT Double Sorting Plant
Their 18° foldable, relocatable conveyor belt system
Both projects reflect the depth of our industrial filming capabilities, and the planning that goes into capturing content that can be repurposed later as the project evolves.

Industrial Video Production South Africa — Why Expertise Matters
Filming in an industrial environment isn’t just about getting a good shot. It’s about:
Wearing the correct PPE
Understanding risky zones and safe working distances
Working at heights
Navigating machinery in motion
Capturing footage safely without disrupting operations
Filming with purpose so clients can use the material for years
Our Pretoria-based team is trained for these environments. We follow strict site protocols, use stabilised gear, drones, and long-lens systems, and plan every movement to ensure the job is done safely and professionally.
Filming the Intagrey XRT Double Sorting Plant
One of our completed videos for Intagrey includes their XRT Double Sorting Plant — a Greenfield Project built for DSO clean-up.
Technical Overview:
Purpose: Remove pegmatite ore from iron-rich waste lithologies
Why XRT: Iron-rich materials have higher atomic density, making the sorting process highly efficient
Result: Cleaner output, improved processing, and reduced circuit contamination
Our Production Approach:
To produce a high-quality industrial video for South Africa’s engineering sector, we:
Filmed the plant from ground level to highlight functionality
Captured aerial footage showing layout and scale
Included detailed close-ups of mechanisms and material flow
Used motion-graphics tracking text to call out key engineering facts
Edited the final video for a clean, corporate, technical look
This is a standout example of Industrial Video Production South Africa — technical storytelling executed with precision.
Behind the Scenes — Filming the 18° Conveyor Belt Installation
Before producing the full marketing video, Intagrey requested that we document the installation of a massive 18-degree conveyor belt at a client’s plant in Natal.
Technical Features:
18° slope
Design capacity: 800 tph
Foldable and relocatable structure
Built for flexibility and movement across different plant setups
On-Site Filming Highlights:
This job demanded working at height, moving with the crew, and climbing the full system to capture every angle. We documented:
Drone flights over the full belt length
Close-up mechanical detail along the incline
B-roll of installation teams working with precision
Structural elements that highlight the engineering design
Raw content that can be used immediately or stored for future editing
This is the perfect example of how long-term industrial video strategy looks: capture visuals now, edit when the project is complete, and maintain a library of footage for future marketing needs.
