BULK2024 is returning to Melbourne from September 18–19. Australian Mining takes a look at what this year’s attendees can expect.
It may sound like a relatively simple process, but transporting material is perhaps the most essential part of mining.
Without the bulk handling industry, mined ore wouldn’t get to where it needs to go, grinding downstream industries to a halt.
The 2024 Australian Bulk Handling Expo (BULK2024) is a testament to this industry’s importance.
As Australia’s only dedicated exhibition for the bulk handling industry, BULK2024 will return to Melbourne from September 18–19, ready to showcase the latest solutions for the industry.
Lincom Group marketing manager Renata Hjelmstrom told Australian Mining how much the company is looking forward to making the trip to Melbourne in September.
“For us, the BULK trade shows are always a highlight of the year,” she said. “It’s not just about displaying our products and services; it’s an opportunity to exchange ideas and develop connections with industry peers.
“We are looking forward to meeting with customers to discuss their challenges and demonstrate how our solutions can help overcome them.”
A key theme of BULK2024 will be engineering solutions. It’s an idea that resonates strongly with Lincom.
“For Lincom, the theme of engineering solutions represents our commitment to innovation and excellence,” Hjelmstrom said. “We partner with leading OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) worldwide to solve industry challenges and anticipate future needs.
“We take a hands-on role with our customers, offering tailored advice and expert guidance to determine the most effective solutions for their unique challenges. Our goal is to foster successful outcomes that improve their operational efficiency.”
One of the most important aspects in any mining operation is teamwork.
This doesn’t just mean the teamwork of employees on the ground; several different industries must work together to achieve the production targets needed to keep Australia running.
Lincom has been helping to bring the mining and bulk handling industries together since 1995.
“Lincom plays a crucial role in bridging these industries by providing robust and efficient equipment solutions that facilitate material extraction, handling, and processing,” Hjelmstrom said.
“Our expertise helps streamline operations, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity.”
Lincom will be a key part of the BULK2024 exhibition, which. Hjelmstrom said provides the company with an opportunity to educate attendees while also showing off its equipment.
“We hope that attendees leave BULK2024 with a deeper understanding of the innovations shaping our industry and how these advancements can enhance their productivity, safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability,” she said.
“With many like-minded professionals present, we hope that attendees will take the opportunity to network and learn more about the various businesses and their offerings at the expo.
“This event is a prime opportunity for industry members to connect and share knowledge that could lead to future collaborations.”
With a two-day exhibition, a jam-packed conference program and the Australian Bulk Handling Awards closing out the event, BULK2024 promises to have something for everyone. Conference and exhibition themes include reducing downtime, increasing productivity, safety and ESG (environmental, safety and governance) – all vital aspects of a successful bulk handling business.
Hjelmstrom said these themes also resonate strongly with Lincom.
“Reducing downtime and increasing productivity are at the core of what we do – it is our current tagline,” she said.
“By focusing on minimising downtime, we ensure that our customers can maintain continuous operations with fewer interruptions, which is crucial for achieving higher productivity levels.
“Our solutions are designed to maximise uptime and output, enabling our customers not only to meet but often exceed their production targets.”
