Precision Engineering in Action: Overhauling Molycorp’s Bolster Press with Engineering Excellence

At Meadow Industries, precision isn’t just part of the process—it is the process. Our recent bolster press overhaul for Molycorp is a perfect example of not just any routine maintenance but a full-scale demonstration of engineering excellence, expert machining, and a quality-first mindset- all working together to deliver a result that’s built to last.

Where Microns Make the Difference – Custom Bush Manufacturing

At the heart of this overhaul is a custom-fabricated replacement bush, a critical component that requires pinpoint accuracy. Why? Because tolerances are tight, loads are heavy, and the performance of the entire press hinges on a perfect fit.

Our in-house machining team is:

• Using premium-grade materials selected for longevity and strength
• Achieving fine-tuned tolerances for seamless integration
• Delivering flawless surface finishes to minimise friction and wear
• Running comprehensive quality control checks at every stage

This isn’t just about manufacturing a part — it’s about ensuring reliability, safety, and peak performance for a high-value asset.
