September 14, 2021 - Traditionally, MINExpo is held every four years as a means to showcase the latest cutting-edge equipment, innovations, services and technologies that can take mining operations to the next level and ensure long-term growth. After that four-year gap was extended by nearly a year due to COVID, the industry is ready and eager to move forward, coming back stronger than ever with the in-person event taking place September 13 to 15 in Las Vegas.
As the world’s largest mining event, MINExpo covers the entire industry: exploration, mine development, open pit and underground mining, processing, safety, environmental improvement and more. According to show organizers, the 2021 event will fill 675,000 sq. ft. and 11 halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Following is a look at what several exhibitors are exhibiting this week. For full coverage from the show floor, visit our sister site at www.oemoffhighway.com/minexpo-2021. Caterpillar Highlights Sustainable EquipmentWith the theme “Together, we’re mining better,” Caterpillar’s 55,000-sq. ft. exhibit is hosting a range of product displays, new equipment introductions, previews of what the company envisions the future will hold and remote operating stations. New equipment models on display will include:
In addition, the new Cat 777G Water Truck will be equipped with MineStar Command for hauling, providing a glimpse into the future for autonomously lowering dust levels at a mine site while maintaining haul road safety.

Graco experts will present the CDS pump series, including the new 60# reservoir to provide additional lubricant-holding capacity. The CDS platform is specifically designed for heavy-duty earthmoving machines in extreme work environments. When paired with the Bluetooth-enabled GLC X controller and Auto Lube app, you can quickly and easily monitor a wide range of lubrication metrics, including levels, pressure, configurations and more. The company will also be showcasing several new vehicle service product solutions, including the extreme-heavy-duty XDX reels and the rugged PM preset meters, as well as demonstrating the latest in fluid management technology. Pulse Pro, Pulse FC and the new Pulse Level systems are designed to simplify the way shops track and manage bulk fluids in real time, adding more transparency and accountability to drive productivity and profitability. IMT Debuts Articulating Cranes, CMD.CTRL and Air CompressorsIowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) is announcing several new offerings, including improved mid-range and large articulating cranes with increased capacity due to higher-grade steel used in their construction. The higher-grade steel improves the machines’ lift-to-weight ratio, resulting in a lower weight crane. Enhanced models include the mid-range 1610, 1620, 1910, 1920, 2310, 2320, 2810 and 2820 cranes, alongside the large models 7020 and 9520. The 7020 replaces the 60/427 and the 9520 replaces the 80/565. The company is also launching the CMD.CTRL and CAS80RL hydraulic-driven aluminum air compressor. The CMD.CTRL control system will come standard with IMT Dominator mechanics trucks and combines strong, reliable hardware with flexible, intuitive software to give operators a productive, user-friendly experience. Core components include convenient cab controls, service body compartment controls and the wireless remote control system. Operators will be fully equipped to handle crane and body operation remotely. The IMT CAS80RL compressor provides 80 cfm of air power and up to 150 psi at almost half the weight. It is designed with an aluminum air end and canopy to reduce weight and protect against rust. Its compact footprint increases deck space on the service truck, and its sound attenuation design decreases noise levels for comfortable operation. The unit is available with mechanical gauges or a LED control panel. Komatsu Leverages Electrification and AutomationKomatsu is using its 48,000-sq.-ft. booth to showcase its latest haulage concepts, designed to prioritize customers’ desire to reduce emissions and for autonomous haulage solutions, revealing its future vision for power agnostic dump trucks and autonomous haulage retrofits for existing equipment. Komatsu will also preview future capabilities for remote operation of equipment featuring hydraulic excavators and autonomous haulage. KomatsuOther new Komatsu solutions designed to advance more sustainable mining methods that are on display include:

The HollyFrontier division will be showcasing its complete llineup, including Petro-Canada Lubricants DURON heavy-duty engine oils, HYDREX hydraulic fluids and PRODURO transmission drivetrain oils. Also showcased at MINExpo is the PEERLESS 3 Moly 322 grease, which is formulated for the protection of low speed, severe heavy-duty applications where high temperatures and heavy loads are common and wear protection is critical. In addition, information will be available on the GREASE-N-GO automatic lubricator, designed to provide consistent protection for equipment. Click here to learn more. Trimble Focuses on Safety, Productivity and EfficiencyTrimble is presenting a range of mining solutions to improve safety, productivity, and efficiency and to put mining operations on the path to autonomy. Specifically, show visitors can learn about:
Wirtgen Surface Miner Makes North American DebutThe Wirtgen 220 SM/220 SMi surface miner is among the products exhibited by the company at MINExpo 2021. Introduced at bauma 2019, this marks the North American debut of the machine. WirtgenThe surface miner features an EU Stage V/U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final engine offering power up to 950 hp. It is suited for use in small- and medium-scale mining operations as well as routing work and infrastructure projects. According to the company, the compact and multipurpose machine is capable of extracting resources with an unconfined compressive strength of up to 50 MPa selectively and at a cutting depth of up to 11.8 in. A 7-ft. 3-in.-wide cutting drum unit is tailored to the specific application and guarantees high productivity at low operating costs. The high, narrow sides of the holder base ensure that material flows smoothly and energy consumption is kept to a minimum. This results in reduced wear and tear on the housing, holders, point-attack cutting tools, and scraper blade, even when mining hard, abrasive material. |
