Mineral: Animal Nutrient Ingredient Processing Equipment

At Marion, we offer heavy-duty bolted agitators for abrasive applications where wear is a concern. Our durable bolted mixers offer the ability to swap old blades out with new, cost-effective replacement blades as needed.

At Marion, we offer innovative and durable SealGuard™ air supply manifold technology to prevent costly seal damage. Acting as an insurance policy that ensures air pressure is on and flowing to the seals prior to mixing, it is a simple yet effective component of preventive maintenance that will ensure your industrial mixer is performing optimally.

Staying competitive in today’s world requires intelligence in and on all fronts. That’s why Marion Process Solutions has invested in an expert team of talent to create intelligent solutions through smart controls. iNCONTROL™ is much more than a control system capability. It’s a toolbox of resources and knowledge that will take your machine to the next level of performance. Your smart resource from day one.  At a minimum, all control packages include:

• An enclosure with a NEMA or IEC rating depending on the application
• A lockable service disconnect suitable for lock-out/tag-out devices
• Fuse or circuit breaker protection
• E-stop and safety limit switch circuitry where applicable

Custom is what we do, and our covers are no exception.  Doors, inlets, dust collection vents, threaded temperature probes and pressure relief ports are just a few of the endless ways our covers can be configured to meet your needs.  It all starts with safety and ergonomics.  Hinged doors that provide full-width access can be counter balanced and/or counter weighted, as well as cylinder actuated for easy opening.  The doors and safety grates located underneath are guarded by electrical interlock switches to prevent unsafe use.  

• Shaft mounted with torque arm for precision alignment
• Helical cut gears for speed and torque conversion
• Dual tapered bushings for simplified maintenance

• Cast iron body for rugged industrial applications
• TEFC or explosion proof frame construction
• Direct drive options configurations for industrial to sanitary applications- no belts, pulleys or excessive maintenance
