Steinexpo 2026 Highlights – Electric Mobility, Digital Platforms, and Integrated Crushing Solutions for Modern Quarries

Why the latest innovations at Steinexpo 2026 reflect a broader industry shift toward integrated, digital, and sustainable quarrying solutions

From September 2 to 5, 2026, the 12th edition of Steinexpo will take place in one of Europe's largest basalt quarries in Homberg/Nieder‑Ofleiden, Germany. As a demonstration trade fair held in an active quarry, Steinexpo brings machines, plants, and application concepts to life under conditions close to real‑world operations. This year, leading manufacturers will showcase their latest innovations for the aggregates and construction materials industry, including several German market premieres and a broad portfolio of solutions. The display will cover surface drilling equipment, rock tools, mobile and stationary crushing and screening solutions, and innovative digital systems. These developments signal a clear industry direction: operators are demanding integrated solutions that span the entire process chain—from extraction and drilling through to crushing, automation, monitoring, and service. At OCP Mechanical Company, with over 40 years of manufacturing experience, we supply a comprehensive range of crushing and screening equipment—including PE Series jaw crushers, HST Series cone crushers, and VSI 6X sand making machines—designed to meet the evolving needs of modern quarry operators, all at factory‑direct prices.

German market premieres – new cone crusher and digital platform

Key German market premieres at Steinexpo 2026 include a new cone crusher and an advanced digital platform. The new cone crusher represents the next evolution of its series, delivering improvements in uptime and performance. The digital platform provides advanced data and analytics capabilities for quarry operations, enabling better decision‑making and process optimisation. These premieres reflect the growing importance of digitalisation and integrated solutions in modern quarrying. For operators, investing in equipment with advanced monitoring and digital capabilities is becoming increasingly important for maintaining competitiveness. At OCP Mechanical, we offer automation and monitoring options for our crushing equipment, including load‑sensing controls and remote diagnostic capabilities, enabling operators to achieve greater visibility and control over their processes. All product specifications, including capacity and power ratings, are continuously updated; for the latest parameters, please consult our online customer service.

Fully electric mobile jaw crusher – a step toward sustainable crushing

A fully electric tracked mobile jaw crusher will be presented at Steinexpo 2026, combining fully electric power with high‑capacity performance to deliver lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. It features a proven jaw crusher and incorporates smart technology for real‑time performance monitoring and adjustment, as well as an unblock facility that improves safety and reduces downtime. The electric jaw crusher is part of a broader electric train that also includes an electric cone crusher and an electric double screen, forming a high‑performance electric‑drive system optimised for a central power source such as a grid connection or single genset. This electric train has received recognition for bringing lower emissions, reduced fuel use, and higher productivity to crushing and screening. This trend toward electric and hybrid drive systems is a clear industry direction. For quarry operators, investing in electric or hybrid equipment can reduce operating costs, lower emissions, and improve sustainability performance. At OCP Mechanical, we offer mobile crushing solutions with flexible power options, enabling operators to adapt to different site conditions and regulatory requirements. Prices are for reference only and are subject to change based on configuration and market conditions.

The growing role of digital platforms in quarry operations

The integration of digital platforms is transforming the way quarry operators manage their plants. Advanced digital systems provide real‑time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimisation capabilities. Operators can track key performance indicators, receive alerts on potential issues, and access historical data for trend analysis. These platforms also support remote monitoring and diagnostics, enabling operators to manage their equipment from anywhere. The adoption of digital platforms is accelerating as operators seek to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs. For quarry operators, investing in equipment that integrates with digital platforms is becoming increasingly important. At OCP Mechanical, we offer automation and monitoring options for our equipment, including load‑sensing controls and remote diagnostic capabilities. These features enable operators to monitor crusher performance, identify potential issues, and optimize settings for maximum efficiency.

Integrated solutions – from drilling to crushing

The display at Steinexpo 2026 will also include a preview of new drill rod series, surface drill rigs, and advanced rock tools, along with a broad portfolio of crushing and screening solutions. This integrated approach—from drilling through to final product screening—demonstrates the value of a single‑source partner for quarry operations. For operators, working with a supplier who can provide equipment and support across the entire process chain simplifies procurement, training, and after‑sales support. It also ensures that equipment is optimised for compatibility and performance. At OCP Mechanical, we offer complete crushing and screening solutions, from feeders and jaw crushers to cone crushers, impact crushers, and screens. Our integrated approach ensures that all components work together seamlessly, delivering optimal performance and reliability.
