As Latin America’s premier mining trade event, EXPONOR CHILE takes place annually in Antofagasta — the region’s undisputed mining heartland. Home to Chile’s major copper, gold and iron ore operations, this dynamic market is where global mining technology and equipment providers compete to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.MP joined this exhibition to showcase its field-proven crushing and screening systems. Through live equipment displays, technical presentations and one-on-one technical consultations, MP demonstrated MP’s advanced engineering and robust manufacturing capabilities tailored for demanding hard rock applications.Hosted by the Antofagasta Industrial Association (AIA), the 2026 show set new industry records across all key metrics. It welcomed 60,000 professional buyers, engineers and operation managers, alongside 1,382 exhibitors including 552 international brands from 36 countries and the European Union. More than 3,793 business discussions were conducted over four days, with projected total transaction volume reaching $1.2 billion USD.
Fondly named the "Pearl of Northern Chile", Antofagasta stands as northern Chile’s largest city and a key Pacific port. Nestled within the world’s most productive copper belt and bordering South America’s Lithium Triangle, the city attracts 38% of Chile’s total mining investment and produces the country’s entire lithium output. As the permanent home of EXPONOR CHILE, it remains an unrivaled hub connecting global mining partners and technological innovations

3. Standout Equipment & On-site Interest
MP develops full-crushing solutions covering primary, secondary and tertiary crushing, screening, feeding and fine sand recovery. At EXPONOR CHILE 2026, some flagship product lines drew the most inquiries from professional visitors: wheeled mobile crushing plants and modular crushing stations.
3.1 Wheeled Mobile Crushing Plant
Built on a heavy-duty wheeled chassis, this mobile plant delivers exceptional agility for frequent site relocation. No on-site foundation required, cutting setup time and project costs significantly. It is the ideal choice for multi-location mining, short-cycle projects and equipment rental fleets.Flexible to configure with jaw, cone or impact crushers, the unit effortlessly processes high-hardness iron, copper and gold ore. Its strong adaptability and reliable performance captured wide attention from local small-to-midsize mining operators and contractors.
Available Models
MW120J (Jaw Crusher + Vibrating Grizzly Feeder)
MW110DRC (Wheeled Mobile Roll Crusher)
MW300CHS (Cone Crusher + Inclined Screen)
Wheeled Mobile Crushing Plant
3.2 Modular Crushing Station
All functional assemblies are prefabricated and tested at MP’s factory. On-site installation only requires simple bolted connections and minimal site prep, slashing construction timelines while supporting seamless production expansion. This design is perfectly suited for new processing plant construction and upgrades to aging production lines.Operators can mix and match crushing modules based on actual throughput targets, helping businesses effectively reduce capital expenditure. Many on-site mining engineers conducted in-depth consultations to evaluate its rational layout and easy maintenance design.
Available Models
MS3YK2060 (Inclined Screen + Conveyor Belt)
MU330GP (Cone Crusher + Inclined Screen)
MU116J (Jaw Crusher + Vibrating Grizzly Feeder)
2 Modular Crushing Station4. Core Customer Needs & Practical Applications
Metallic ore processing accounted for over 80% of total on-site inquiries, while the remaining demands centered on high-quality construction aggregate production — two core business segments MP specializes in.
4.1 Metallic Ore Processing (Primary Application)
Most visitors operate lines for hard, highly abrasive iron ore, gold ore and copper ore. These harsh working environments raise strict requirements for wear component lifespan, equipment power and tramp iron protection performance.A technical specialist from a northern Chile copper mine shared a common industry headache: frequent liner replacement when processing high-silicon copper ore. Impressed by MP’s practical structural design that targets such pain points, the client requested follow-up field performance tests. This feedback proves MP solutions have become a preferred option for Latin American mining operators seeking to cut maintenance downtime and operational costs.Three factors top buyers’ priority list: stable performance during round-the-clock operation, extended service life of critical wear parts for high-silicon hard rock, and robust tramp iron protection paired with simplified daily maintenance.
4.2 Construction Aggregate Production
Many clients sought reliable equipment to process river pebbles for premium concrete aggregates. With medium-to-high hardness and smooth surface texture, river pebbles demand highly efficient crushing chamber performance.When paired with impact or cone crushers, MP’s wheeled mobile crushing plant produces aggregates with uniform particle shape and extremely low flaky material content. Designed for dual-purpose operation, the equipment handles both hard ore and aggregate production, maximizing asset utilization and minimizing unnecessary equipment downtime.
5. Positive Client Feedback & On-site Engagement
MP’s superior build quality won unanimous praise from on-site clients. After inspecting equipment models and technical exhibits, visitors spoke highly of the rigid structure, precision welding and heavy-gauge steel construction — all engineered to withstand heavy-duty cycles and harsh outdoor conditions. User-centric details, including well-placed lubrication points and easily accessible service doors, further boosted client recognition.The meticulous craftsmanship reflects MP’s rigorous manufacturing and quality control standards. Company leadership held in-depth technical and commercial talks with client engineering and procurement teams. Multiple clients submitted detailed material data, including ore hardness, feed size and target throughput, and requested custom process layouts tailored to their unique conditions. We collected contact information and operational data from a large group of high-intent prospects during the event.
