MINExpo is the world’s largest mining event, covering the entire industry from exploration, mine development, open pit and underground mining, safety and more.

Safeguarding Mobile Mining Equipment from Fire Threats
AFEX has been outfitting mobile heavy equipment with fire suppression systems for over 50 years. A supplier to many of the largest mines across the globe, AFEX understands the financial impact of a single, downed piece of machinery on mining operations. As a result, their fire suppression systems are built ruggedly to withstand everyday abuse and discharge reliably, saving valuable seconds crucial to limiting damage to machines.
The team is eager to be face-to-face with end users, OEMs and distributors at the MINExpo event this year. The mining industry has continued to grow exponentially despite the COVID-19 crisis, and we’ve navigated supply chain disruptions effectively to be in a position to provide fire suppression systems with short lead times.
Rod Cavallaro, President at AFEX
AFEX’s booth at MINExpo will feature their signature red tanks and a comprehensive video outlining the company’s success safeguarding mining equipment across all seven continents.
