Copied parts from other sources do not carry the necessary technical heritage, and simply undermine performance and reliability.

Metso wear parts have been designed and manufactured with specialised material and hardening techniques, for instance, to ensure both safety and performance.

OEMs have in-depth knowledge of their equipment that allows customers to achieve results which are both optimal and predictable.

There are important safety implications when not using using the specified parts in crushers and screens as there are extreme forces and speeds at play – especially in crushing equipment.

Durability and efficiency are ensured with the OEM pitman which is designed for optimal performance and reduced wear in every crushing operation.

Using non-OEM spares only puts this reputation at risk, as machines then become unreliable.” Marais also points to the all important safety considerations of not using the specified parts in crushers and screens, emphasising that there are extreme forces and speeds at play – especially in crushing equipment.
