QuarryNZ Conference 2026 Back to Basics: People, Plant and Profit
Invercargill | 22–24 July 2026
QuarryNZ Conference 2026 – EQUIP2 Brings Real Iron to Invercargill
QuarryNZ Conference 2026 is themed Back to Basics – People, Plant and Profit, and EQUIP2 is taking that literally. Rather than a stand full of brochures and branded pens, we're arriving in Invercargill with one of our biggest presences at a New Zealand quarry conference — and something genuinely worth the trip down south.
The Washplant You Can See in Action — Oreti Aggregate Invercargill
The centrepiece of EQUIP2's presence at QuarryNZ 2026 is a working washplant installation at Oreti Aggregate's Invercargill operation.
Delegates will have the opportunity to see the plant running in a live production environment — not on a trade show floor, but on-site, processing real material, doing real work. This is the kind of hands-on access that answers the questions no spec sheet can: How does it handle your feed material? What does throughput actually look like? How is it maintained and supported?
The washplant represents EQUIP2's approach to aggregate processing — fit-for-purpose equipment engineered for New Zealand conditions, designed around uptime and operational simplicity. For quarry operators looking at sand and aggregate washing as part of their production mix, this is a rare chance to evaluate the equipment in context, not in a controlled demonstration environment.
We'll be coordinating site visits during the conference — if you're interested in getting out to Oreti Aggregate's site to see the plant running, get in touch with the EQUIP2 team ahead of the event to confirm your place.
A Large Presence — Built Around Conversation
Beyond the site visit, EQUIP2 will have a significant presence at the conference itself. Our team will be on the ground across all three days, ready to talk through:
• Washing and classification systems — including the washplant range and how it fits different aggregate and sand production requirements
• Mobile crushing and screening — performance, configuration, and what's new
• Parts availability and service support — specifically for South Island operations where response times matter
• Customised solutions — for non-standard feed materials, site constraints, or production targets
This isn't a passive presence. We're there to work through real operational questions with quarry managers, owners, and plant operators — the people making decisions about capital equipment and production performance.
South Island Relevance — Not Just a Conference Stop
Invercargill isn't just a conference location for us. The South Island is home to a substantial portion of our customer base — operations running in regional and rural environments where equipment reliability isn't a preference, it's a requirement.
The Oreti Aggregate Invercargill washplant installation is one example of the work we're doing in the region. For South Island operators at the conference, it's a chance to see EQUIP2 equipment performing in conditions close to their own — and to have direct conversations with the team that supports it.
See the Plant. Have the Conversation.
QuarryNZ 2026 is a working conference for working operators. EQUIP2 will be there in that spirit — with real equipment on the ground, a team ready to engage, and a site visit that puts the plant in front of the people best placed to evaluate it.
If you're heading to Invercargill in July, come find us. And if you want to lock in a spot for the Oreti Aggregate site visit, reach out to the EQUIP2 team now.
