Aggregates Processing Technologies at CONEXPO 2026

Metso will present new equipment, digital solutions, and wear technologies for the aggregates industry at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas.  www.metso.com Metso will showcase its latest aggregates processing technologies at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, held March 3–7 in Las Vegas, highlighting developments in crushing, screening, digitalization, and lifecycle support for quarrying and contracting operations. CONEXPO-CON/AGG as a technology platform CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the largest construction trade show in North America and is held every three years. At the 2026 edition, Metso will use the event to present recent additions to its aggregates portfolio, reflecting ongoing shifts toward higher productivity, lower operating costs, and reduced environmental impact in crushing and screening operations. In advance of the exhibition, Metso will host its first Distributor Days in the United States on March 1–2, 2026, in Las Vegas. The event is intended to align distributors with upcoming product launches, service concepts, and digital tools. Digital portfolio for connected aggregates operations During the show, Metso will introduce a renewed digital portfolio for aggregates. The portfolio consolidates equipment connectivity, data collection, and analytics into a unified environment designed to support uptime and production efficiency. Key functions include AI-enabled predictive maintenance, performance optimization for mobile crushing operations, and digital channels that simplify access to equipment data, services, and spare parts. Such tools are increasingly used in the digital supply chain of aggregates production, where real-time insights help reduce unplanned downtime and improve cost control. New crushing technologies Metso will present the HRC 10 high-capacity roll crusher, extending the HRC series beyond the earlier HRC 8. The crusher is designed for industrial sand production and construction material recycling, applications where consistent product grading and energy efficiency are critical. In addition, the company will highlight developments in its Lokotrack EC mobile crushing range. The diesel-electric powerline is intended to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared with conventional drivetrains. At CONEXPO, Metso will present the Lokotrack LT350C, a cone crusher designed for secondary and tertiary crushing, powered by the Nordberg HP350e cone crusher. Screening, wear, and lifecycle components Screening solutions on display will include the TSE Series screens, combined with compatible screening media. This integrated approach is intended to improve screening efficiency while simplifying service and reducing total cost of ownership. Metso will also showcase new wear part innovations alongside a selection of spare parts and upgrades. Wear and spare components remain a key factor in aggregates economics, as liner lifetime and change-out intervals directly influence equipment availability and operating cost per ton. Equipment milestones and industry context The exhibition will also mark the 50-year history of Nordberg C Series jaw crushers. Metso will present the Nordberg C117 as an example of how the platform has evolved to meet current requirements for safety, reliability, and productivity. Overall, Metso’s presence at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 reflects broader industry trends toward electrification, connected equipment, and lifecycle-focused solutions. These developments are shaping how aggregates producers design, operate, and maintain processing plants in an increasingly cost- and sustainability-driven market. www.metso.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
