In Australia’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, efficiency, uptime, and reliability are non-negotiable. When your production line is running fillers, cappers, labellers, corkers, rinsers, or other bottle and container handling equipment, the quality of your change parts—including stars, guides, and timing screws—plays a critical role in overall performance.
Traditionally, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts have been seen as the default choice. However, more Australian manufacturers are discovering the advantages of sourcing aftermarket change parts from trusted suppliers like Morrison by Tronics.
Here’s why working with an aftermarket supplier can be a smarter, more strategic decision for your operation.
One of the biggest drivers toward aftermarket change parts is cost. OEM parts often come with premium pricing, especially when sourced from overseas manufacturers. Aftermarket suppliers can deliver comparable—or better—performance at a more competitive price point.
Morrison by Tronics manufactures high-quality change parts using proven materials and precision engineering. Our parts are designed to meet or exceed OEM performance standards, allowing you to reduce operating costs without sacrificing reliability, accuracy, or throughput.
Downtime is expensive — particularly when replacement parts are stuck in international supply chains. Long OEM lead times can leave Australian and Oceania facilities waiting weeks or even months for critical components.
As an aftermarket supplier supporting the Australian market, Morrison by Tronics prioritises shorter lead times. Our streamlined manufacturing process allows us to deliver change parts faster, helping you get back to full production quickly and avoid costly delays.
Crashes happen. Forklifts run over parts. Components fail unexpectedly.
When production is on the line, waiting for OEM replacements isn’t always an option. Once Morrison by Tronics has produced an initial set of parts for your equipment, we can manufacture replacement parts quickly — saving you weeks of downtime compared to OEM timelines.
This responsiveness is one of the key reasons manufacturers choose an aftermarket partner they can rely on in a pinch.
No two production lines are exactly alike. Standard OEM parts may function, but they don’t always optimise performance.
Aftermarket suppliers offer greater flexibility. Morrison by Tronics can customise change parts to:
We’re known for quick-change parts that simplify and accelerate container size changeovers, an increasingly valuable benefit as manufacturers manage smaller batch runs, more SKUs, and leaner maintenance teams.
Introducing a new bottle or container format often means new challenges in handling, stability, and line efficiency.
Working with Morrison by Tronics allows you to:
Rather than simply replicating OEM parts, we look for opportunities to improve container handling performance while maintaining fast delivery timelines.
OEM support for older machines can be limited—or disappear altogether.
Morrison by Tronics specialises in manufacturing aftermarket change parts for legacy equipment, helping Australian manufacturers:
This capability is especially valuable for facilities balancing long-term equipment investments with evolving packaging requirements.
Aftermarket doesn’t mean outdated. In fact, Morrison by Tronics continuously incorporates advancements in materials, design, and container handling best practices. Our change parts are engineered for:
In many cases, customers find our parts outperform OEM alternatives—particularly in demanding, high-throughput environments.
OEM parts have their place, but they’re not always the best solution. For Australian manufacturers seeking cost control, faster lead times, flexibility, and dependable support, Morrison by Tronics offers a compelling aftermarket alternative.
By choosing high-quality aftermarket change parts, you can:
