MINING INDONESIA 2026
ScrapeTec Meets a Mining Market in Transition

MINING INDONESIA 2026 in Jakarta provided ScrapeTec International GmbH with an important platform to showcase its solutions for cleaner and more efficient conveying processes to an international mining audience. The company entered a Southeast Asian resources market currently undergoing significant transformation.

Indonesia plays a key role in this development. The country holds the world’s largest nickel reserves and is also a major producer of coal, tin and other mineral resources. In particular, Indonesia’s strategy of expanding domestic mineral processing and downstream industries has driven substantial investment in mining, processing facilities and related infrastructure. Today, Indonesia accounts for around 63 percent of global nickel production.

Coal also remains a major part of the regional resources and energy landscape. Indonesia is the world’s leading exporter of thermal coal, while demand across Southeast Asia remains significant. At the same time, the Indonesian coal industry is facing increasing pressure from costs, commodity prices and changing regulatory requirements. Productivity, plant availability and efficient material handling are therefore becoming increasingly important for mine operators.

These developments affect both surface and underground mining. As mines expand and operations move into more demanding environments, reliable transportation of coal, ores and other bulk materials becomes a critical part of maintaining productivity. Conveyor systems and transfer points must handle high material volumes while minimizing dust emissions, spillage, maintenance requirements and unplanned downtime.

This is precisely where ScrapeTec positioned its technology at MINING INDONESIA 2026. The main focus was AirScrape®, the contact-free conveyor skirting system designed to reduce dust and material spillage at transfer points. Complementary ScrapeTec technologies for dust control and belt tracking complete the company’s approach to cleaner, lower-wear and more reliable conveyor operations.

For Southeast Asia’s high-capacity mining operations, effective dust prevention is about much more than keeping facilities clean. Controlling dust and spillage at the source can help reduce housekeeping requirements, improve working conditions around conveyor systems and support higher plant availability.

MINING INDONESIA 2026 highlighted a market where strong demand for raw materials, growing domestic processing capacity and increasing expectations for operational efficiency, safety and environmental performance are converging – creating new opportunities for advanced conveyor and bulk handling technologies.
