Massive Machinery and Innovation at MINExpo International 2024

MINExpo boasts 1,900+ companies involved in the global mining industry. Opening sessions allow the industry to come together to debate global challenges, market fluctuations and the future of mining. Resources include exploration, mine site development, open pit mining, underground mining, smelting and refining, processing and preparation and reclamation. Here’s a sample of the companies exhibiting and the products/technologies they will be featuring in Las Vegas from September 24–26, 2024.

Ferry-Capitain (Booth #5517)
Ferry-Capitain is a key contributor to the AGMA Mill Gearing Committee responsible for the development of design rating standards for open gearing used in rotating (cylindrical shell and trunnion supported) equipment applications. With direct experience in the casting of alloyed steel and ductile iron gear materials, Ferry-Capitain developed through extensive metallurgical research what quickly became the most recognizable open gearing material grade: FerryNod

FerryNod is a high-performance alloy engineered for durability, strength, and reliability in heavy machinery applications across the mining, cement, and power generation industries. With hardness levels spanning from 180 to 340 BHN, FerryNod meets and exceeds ANSI/AGMA6014-B15 standards for allowable contact and bending stresses.

Thanks to the presence of graphite nodules, FerryNod exhibits inherent lubricity, reducing friction and wear. Unlike steel, where cracks propagate freely, FerryNod allows for serviceable repairs with minimal fatigue strength loss.

Widely recognized by OEMs and end users for being cost advantageous and for its shorter manufacturing cycle time, FerryNod is the ideal choice for large-scale, demanding industrial applications such as ring gears for horizontal mills and kilns, where reliability and performance are critical.
