When it’s time to replace worn or damaged crusher components, one of the first decisions operators face is whether to choose OEM crusher parts or aftermarket crusher parts. Both options have advantages, and the right choice often depends on your equipment, operating conditions, maintenance strategy, and production goals. Understanding the differences can help you make

Precision Starts Long Before Final Machining At Marion Machine, we specialize in rebuilding, repairing, and manufacturing some of the largest and most critical components used in the aggregate and mining industries. From heavy-duty 7′ Symons cone crusher main frames to Metso 5474 gyratory crusher main shafts, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. One of the key

In the aggregate industry, production is everything. Every ton processed contributes to the bottom line, which is why many operations hesitate to pull equipment offline for repairs. While it may seem cost-effective to postpone maintenance and keep a crusher running, delaying repairs often creates hidden costs that far outweigh the expense of addressing issues early.

In a world full of modern materials, engineered alloys, and high-speed precision bearings, one technology continues to hold its ground in the harshest industrial environments: Babbitt bearings. Despite being over a century old in concept, Babbitt bearings remain a critical component in crushers, mills, and large rotating machinery across mining, aggregate, and heavy industry. The

After more than three decades of dedication, craftsmanship, and leadership, Marion Machine is proud to celebrate the retirement of Keith Cox. Keith joined Marion Machine in 1991 and quickly became known as someone who led by example every single day. Over the course of 35 years, he built a reputation for exceptional workmanship, a strong

When a crusher starts losing production, showing excessive wear, or failing unexpectedly, operators are faced with a critical decision: repair, rebuild, or replace. What many don’t realize is that the quality of a rebuild depends entirely on the process behind it. At Marion Machine, crusher rebuilds aren’t just repairs—they’re a precision-driven restoration process designed to

In crushing and aggregate operations, precision matters. Maintaining consistent particle size throughout the crushing process is critical to equipment performance, product quality, and overall plant efficiency. Without accurate, real-time insight, even small variations can lead to uneven wear, inefficiencies, and costly downtime. At Marion Machine, we understand the importance of precision-driven solutions. That’s why technologies

In today’s aggregates and mining operations, crusher downtime is expensive, and so are new components. With rising equipment costs, extended OEM lead times, and tighter production schedules, operators are increasingly asking an important question: Should we rebuild this crusher component, or is it time to replace it? The right answer depends on more than just
