1.2 Operational principle of the cone crusher
The feed material is compressed between the two hard surfaces. The action of the moving
surfaces is determined by the load of the crusher. The crushing action is realized by the
eccentric rotation of the main shaft (6).
The feed material (such as rocks or ores) is clamped, compressed and crushed between the
movable mantle (4) and concave (3).
The quality and quantity of processed material are determined by the interaction between
the crusher and feed material. The eccentric rotation, the dynamics of the crusher and the
properties of feed material are the most important factors.
The geometric shape of the cavity is determined by the positions of the mantle, concave,
eccentric assembly and pivot. The driving motor of the crusher drive the eccentric assembly
evenly through gears. The rotation of the eccentric causes the upper part of the main shaft to
rotate. On the top of the main shaft is the arm bearing (1), which is the pivot point of the
rotation. The mantle is fixed on the main shaft and the concave is fixed on the upper frame
(2). The rotation of the main shaft means that the distance between the mantle and concave is
constantly changing. When the distance decreases, the feed material will be compressed and
crushed and when the mantle moves away from the concave from the concave, the feed
material can flow downward in the cavity.
As the mantle and concave are under constant wear, they need to be replaced regularly. The
wear rate depends on the properties of the feed material. See more details in the checking the
cavity in the chapter 10.2.

Adjustment of the discharge opening


To compensate wear and produce products of different sizes, the crusher is equipped with a
control system. It is mainly composed of a solid hydraulic called adjustment cylinder, which
supports and adjusts the position of the main shaft. To move the main shaft up and down can
change the discharge settings and thus change the sizes of crushed material. See more details
in settings measurement in chapter 11
Reduce the setting= smaller product size
Lubricating system
Please refer to main lubricating system in the chapter 8.2 for more details about the circulating
lubricating system.

Chapter Four

Start-up

This chapter introduces how to start the cone crusher.


To ensure safety, please read carefully safety precautions in the chapter 2 before carrying out
any work or adjustment on the machine.
4.1 Overview
Assembly, test-run and inspection have been done before delivery of each cone crusher. Test-run
is carried out without load to find out any possible mechanical fault.
4.2 Running-in
The content of this paragraph is also applicable for repaired machines and machines with new
parts.
a) Start the main oil pump
b) Start the driving motor when you get the ready to start signal.
c) Check and adjust settings. Please refer to check the settings with a lead block in chapter
4.2.1.
d) Start feeding the crusher. Gradually increase the load until it reaches the drawbar power or
around 75% of the maximum hydraulic power. Please refer to maximum load in chapter
4.2.4.
Caution! If possible, the cavity should be full of material as the crusher cannot run in without load.
Running-in will be finished after about 16 hours of operation with 75% load. After that, increase
the load to the maximum. The running-in time may be longer due to different feed materials and
engineering designs. During the process of running-in, the following rules must be observed:
e) Regularly check the temperature of return oil to see if it is between 40C (104 F) and 45 C
(113 F).
f) Make sure that the cooling system is on and off at correct temperatures. Please refer to oil
temperature switch in chapter 8.2.11.
Caution! If the operational conditions are not normal (oil=ISO VG viscosity 150), please follow
the instructions in temperature control switch in the chapter 8.2.11 and temperature control
switch of oil heating device.
g) Regularly check and clean the filter mesh. Please refer to filter mesh in the chapter 8.2.10.
in the initial running-in period, some fine steel and copper particles are usually on the filter
mesh.
h) Expel air from the hydraulic system. Please refer to expel air from the hydraulic system in
the chapter 8.6.5.
i) Check and make sure that there is no relative movement between the upper frame and lower
frame. Put your finger between the upper frame and lower frame to feel possible vibration.
j) Check and make sure that there is no oil leakage.
k) Check and make sure that the pointer of the hydraulic pressure gauge moves steadily. Please
refer to pressure gauge in the chapter 8.6.5.
l) Use a proper thermometer such as an IR camera to check the temperature on the external
surface of the pinion box. The normal temperature should be between 50-60C (122-140
F)
m) Check and make sure that feed material is evenly distributed around the circumference of the
cavity.
n) Check the power consumption and hydraulic pressure. Please refer to maximum load in
chapter 4.2.4 and pressure gauge in chapter 8.6.5.
o) Check and record the main hydraulic pressure. Please refer to main lubricating system in
chapter 8.2.
p) Please
q) Check if there is grease leakage from the arm bearing.
r) Check the oil level in the pinion box when the crusher completely stops. Please refer to lube
oil of the small shaft.
s) After running-in is completed, check the tightness of all the bolts and retighten the belts.
Please refer to belt tension in chapter 6.4.2.

4.2.1 Check the settings with a lead block


A very simple way to check the CSS is to tie a lead block on a iron wire and then slowly put it
inside the discharge area of the cavity. The lead block will be squeezed out and its thickness is the
setting. Make sure the lead block is big enough so that it is easy to measure the thickness.
You may also check the CSS at four different points around the cavity circumference. If you find
uneven wear, the performance of the feeding device is not satisfactory. Please refer to settings
measurement.
Caution! The CSS should not be too small, or it will cause the drawbar power or hydraulic
pressure to exceed the upper limits in chapter 4.2.4.
4.2.2 Start the main oil pump
Check the oil level before starting the main oil pump. After the oil pump starts, the oil tank must
be full of oil to ensure sufficient oil supply.
4.2.3 Expel air from the hydraulic system
The upper air outlet valve is installed on the throat of energy accumulator.

remaining in the cavity and hopper.
Careful! If the crusher stops due to some uncrushable materials (metal, wood etc.), do not restart
the crusher. Manually clear the cavity or remove the bolts on the upper frame so that all the
material can be released from the cavity.
Careful! Do not start the crusher while the upper frame is loose.

Chapter Six

Inspection and Maintenance

This chapter introduces general knowledge about daily inspection and maintenance of the cone
crusher.
To ensure safety, please read carefully safety precautions in the chapter 2 before carrying out
any work or adjustment on the machine.
6.1 Daily inspection and maintenance
Every cone crusher must receive regular systematic inspection. It can reduce maintenance
frequency, narrow down maintenance range and reduce downtime and thus lower down the
overall operation cost.
Caution! Frequent inspections must be carried out during the initial operation period of a new
crusher and then gradually increase the interval until a proper inspection frequency.
Keep a daily record of the detailed information about operational conditions, load, important
data, adjustment and maintenance of the crusher. Please refer to the appendix inspection for the
format of the record table.
As the crusher can operate under completely different conditions, it is impossible to come up
with a daily inspection table of inspection and maintenance for all crushers. However, regular
inspection is very necessary. See some examples in the following table.

6.2 Lower frame and main shaft assembly


There are on the lower frame assembly two spy holes, through which we can check the
dust-proof seal ring, dust-proof frame, liner and seal ring and oil leakage condition.
Do not remove the hole cover/guard plate
When the equipment is running, do not open the cover. During the operation of the
crusher, do not put your hands in it.

1. Spy hole

6.3.1 Dust-proof seal ring


The dust-proof ring (3) under the mantle can move freely and it is installed on the dust-proof
frame through sliding fit. It is the most important seal in the lubricating system. The dust-proof
circle is composed of the dust-proof ring (3) and dust-proof end cap (2), which is fixed on the
mantle by screws.

Use a clearance gauge to check the clearance between the dust-proof ring and main shaft.
The maximum clearance allowed between the dust-proof ring and main shaft is
mm (inch)
1.3 (0.51)

6.3.2 Scraper
To keep dust and material etc off the surface of the dust-proof frame (4), a scraper (5) is installed
under the dust-proof ring end cap (2) of the crusher. It is composed of rubber and fixing plate. The
fixing plate is attached to the bottom of the keeper ring by bolts.
The scraper (5) ensures that there is always space for the main shaft to move up and down. If
there is swing motion, the iron will enter the cavity.
Regularly check the condition of the scraper (5). Clean the dust-proof frame and lower frame arm
if necessary.
6.4 Belts
Do not move the fixing plate.
Do not run the cone crusher before installing the fixing plate around the movable parts.

Belt tension
In the first few of running, the belt tension needs to be checked frequently because the new belts
can be stretched. If the belts are not fully stretched, they may be slippery and their service lives
will be shortened.
The proper belt tension can be determined by deflection load-bearing stress with a gauge such
spring scale, tension meter and the like.

6.6 Hydraulic and lubricating system
Please refer to hydraulic and lubricating system in chapter 8 for more detailed information
about the inspection and maintenance of hydraulic and lubricating system.
6.7 Overpressure dust-proof seal
This crusher uses dust-proof seal (SG160-05-03) to prevent dust and absorb air with a slight
overpressure because the lube oil with air that returns the oil tank may have a little negative
pressure. This negative pressure will absorb dust into the crusher and form a dust film inside
the dust-proof frame. Then lube oil transmit the dust around the lubricating system and thus
cause blockage of filter element and accelerate the wear of components of upper thrust

bearing and precipitation of the

6.7.1 Dust-proof sealing principle
The condition of the dust-proof ring determines the function of the dust-proof frame. If the dustproof ring is worn or becomes oval, it will increase the clearance of dust-proof frame and increase
the possibility of ingress of dust.
A plastic hose is installed between the crusher and oil tank to balance the pressure. One end is
connected to the T shaped connector (2) on the crusher, which is just above the pinion shaft box
and the other end is connected to the sleeve (5) welded on the outside surface above the oil level
in the oil tank.

Caution! The cap of the oil tank should have air tightness. Adjust or change the seal ring if
necessary.
Overpressure in the crusher and oil tank is to prevent dust from entering the crusher. The
overpressure is realized by supplying compressed air with air blower or pressure adjustment
device. Please refer to air blower in chapter 6.7.2 and adjustment device of compressed air in
chapter 6.7.3. the crusher get the overpressure air by the same connector T (2) used for balancing
the pressure between the hose and oil tank.
Inspection
When the crusher is running, the air pressure at the feed opening should be 600-1000Pa (60-100
mm w.g.).
6.7.2

Air blower
The capacity of the air blower should be no less than 0.3 m3/min under the pressure of 600

Chapter Seven

Lubrication

This chapter introduces the requirements for lube oil of the cone crusher.
To ensure safety, please read carefully safety precautions in the chapter 2 before carrying out
any work or adjustment on the machine.
7.1 Requirements for lube oil
In order to optimize the performance of the crusher, the lube oil used in the crusher must be
strictly restricted.
Caution! During warranty period, it is not allowed to use lube oil that doesnt conform to our
requirements.
Danger of fire and toxic gases
Oil products may cause environmental pollution and fire. Inhale or skin contact with
oil may cause damage to human body. Please follow the safety instructions of the
manufacturer when handling the oil or grease.
Caution! Replace oil according to instructions in replacing oil in chapter 5.3.
Inspection
If the color of the lube oil has changed, it shows that there may be water or dirt in the oil. In this
case, it needs to be replaced.
7.1.1 Miscibility
Caution! Do not mix lube oils of different brands or types unless they are suitable for mixing. Or it
will cause poor mixing or precipitation and thus lose its lubricating features.
Usually before replacing the oil, the old lube oil should be thoroughly cleaned. The oil
manufacturer can provide information about miscibility.

7.1.2 Low temperature


Under low temperatures, the viscosity will increase. However, it is not necessary to changer the
oil for another type with lower viscosity in the winter because there is a heater in the oil tank.
Besides, there are several ways to reduce the risk of oil freezing, such as keeping a proper
temperature and heating. Please refer to installation manual and consult us when necessary.
Nevertheless, sometimes it is still recommended to use oil with lower viscosity when the
temperatures are extremely low. Please refer to operation under low temperatures.
7.1.3 High temperatures
If the ambient temperature is so high that the cooling system cannot keep the return oil
temperature below 50C (1220 F), it may necessary to permit operation under a high temperature.
In this case, please consult us timely. At the same time, replace the lube oil with another type with
higher viscosity.

7.2 Lube oil used in the lubricating system


We recommend that neutral EP additive should be added to lube oil and the oil should conform to
the requirements in the table.
Usually ISO VG 150 viscosity lube oil is used.
General descriptions
Lube oil should conform to the requirements about viscosity in DIN 51 517-CLP and should
contain additive to prevent oxidization and froth and anti-wear additive as well. The bearing of the
crusher is made of copper alloy, so the lube oil should not do harm to the material.
The table below specifies different types of lube oils used under various operational conditions.

Bio-degradable lube oil
If bio-degradable lube oil is used, we recommend that you only choose 100% Ester type

synthetic oil because this type of oil has a high viscosity. Usually the ISO VG 150 viscosity oil can
be used all year round.
If the ambient temperature exceeds 32 C (90 F), it may be necessary to follow instructions in
operation under high temperatures to reset temperature control switches TG1 and TG2. Or TG1
may trip due to high temperature thus stop the crusher. Please refer to temperature switch in
chapter 8.2.11.
E.g.: Tribol Bio Top 1418/150 (VI> 170)
Quantity of lube oil
Capacity
Lube oil tank
150 liters (40 gallons)
When the crusher is running, the oil level must be above the marked lowest level. Please observe
the oil level indicator in the oil tank.
When the crusher stops, some lube oil may remain in the crusher and oil pipes, so after test-run,
the oil tank should be filled. To avoid oil overflow after the oil in the crusher return to the oil tank,
if the oil pipe between the oil tank and crusher is very long, the oil filling should be strictly
controlled.
Caution! During operation, please make sure that heating elements and oil control switches are
always immersed in the lube oil so that overheat of heating elements could be avoided.
Oil replacement
To ensure good condition of lube oil, it is recommended to send oil sample to the supplier every
month to work with them to set a proper interval for replacing the oil.
If the oil is changed to another brand or type, all the oil in the system needs to be replaced. This
is especially important when the oil is changed from leaded oil to oil with sulfur / phosphorus
additive. The remaining oil in the crusher should be drained by cutting the oil supply pipe
between the crusher and oil tank at a proper point. After the oil is drained, the main shaft must
be raised to the highest position to let the oil in the hydraulic plunger overflow.
7.3 Lube oil used in the hydraulic system
Requirement descriptions
Oil used in the hydraulic system must be easy to mix with lube oil and conform to the same
requirements. But its viscosity must conform to requirements of ISO VG 68 and oil is in
accordance with DIN 51 517-CLP 68.

When filling oil to the hydraulic oil tank, the main shaft must be at the lowest position. If it is at
the highest position, the oil tank may not have enough space to hold all the oil when it lowers
down.
Oil replacement
When changing lube oil, the oil in the hydraulic system should also be changed. Please refer to
oil replacement in chapter 5.3 and lube oil used in the lubricating system in chapter 7.2.
7.4 Lube oil for the pinion shaft
When the crusher leaves the factory, there is a label near the pinion shaft to indicate the type of
oil used in the pinion shaft box. Do not mix oils of different types.
The oil used for pinion shaft should be the same with the oil used in the main lubricating system.
Please refer to lube oil used in the lubricating system in chapter 7.2.

Drain plug (4) and oil level pipe (3) are installed at the bottom of pinion shaft box, when filling
oil, the drain plug must remain at the original position. The quantity of filled oil is slightly more
than that of required. After the oil level in the pinion shaft box becomes stable, remove the drain
plug to discharge excess oil in the oil level pipe.
Caution! Every time when your check the oil level, it should be filled full and excess oil should be
discharged. Or some oil will overflow from the oil level pipe, which give people a false
impression that the oil level is too high.
Oil replacement
Regularly check the oil level and replace the lube oil every 2000 hours or every year. Remove the
oil level pipe and drain plug to drain the old oil.
Air nozzle is installed on the filler plug at the top of pinion shaft box. It must be cleaned about
every two months, or it may cause damage to the seal and thus lead to leakage.
7.5 Grease for arm bearing
The main shaft rotates in the arm bearing and the pressure is very high although the rotating
speed is relatively low. It is very important to use the correct type of grease to make sure that the
grease can permeate to the bearing surface.
Requirements descriptions
The grease should meet the requirements in the table below to make sure that the arm bearing is
constantly lubricated under vibration and heavy load. Besides, the grease should also provide good
anti-corrosive protection. The arm bearing contains alloy, cast iron and nitrile rubber. Therefore
grease must do no harm to these materials.

During the first few weeks of operation, remove the plug in the lower arm frame cap to check the
grease level.
Check the grease level in the arm frame cap:
a) Stop the crusher
b) Remove the plug in the lower arm frame cap
c) Insert your finger into the spy oil to feel the grease level or use a torch to shine the hole and
observe the grease level. If grease is found on the main shaft under the arm bearing, the seal

of arm bearing may be damaged. Make sure that there is no oil or stone dust on the main shaft
to prevent the dirt from entering the arm bearing through the arm bearing seal (4)when the
main shaft is raised. Frequently check the grease level and replace it when necessary. If the
arm bearing seal is damaged, replace it as soon as possible.
There is a label along the grease nozzle on the arm frame of upper frame for showing the type
of grease in the arm bearing before delivery. Do not mix different types of grease together.
When installing the new mantle liner and/or concave liner, please carefully clean the arm bearing
and seal then fill in fresh grease. To avoid downtime, it is recommended to change the arm bearing
seal (4)when the liner is changed.

Hydraulic and Lubricating System

This chapter introduces the maintenance procedures of the hydraulic and lubricating system of
the cone crusher.
To ensure safety, please read carefully safety precautions in the chapter 2 before carrying out
any work or adjustment on the machine.
8.1 Overview
8.1.1 Oil tank
The oil tank is composed of a pump with a driving motor, a cabinet with filters etc and there are
lubricating and hydraulic tanks.

8.2 Main lubricating system


In the lubricating circuit, oil is pumped to the main inlet of the crusher from the oil pump through
filter element and radiator. After entering the crusher, oil is pressed upward through upper thrust
bearing into the space between the eccentric bushing, main shaft and the lower frame sleeve to
lubricate the bearings. The oil will lubricate the wear plate and bevel wheel before returning to the
oil tank due to gravity.

8.2.1 Clean the oil tank


Pollutants such as stone dust, water etc can, to some extent, deposit at the bottom of the oil tank,
so it has to been cleaned at least twice every year. The regular inspection can avoid mud being
pumped up from the bottom with the oil. Please refer to clean return oil mesh and oil tank in
chapter 8.3.4.

Remove the drain plug (14) to clean the precipitate. Perform the action regularly to avoid too
much water in the oil.
Caution! When the oil level drops to just above the oil inlet, stop the pump immediately, or it may
be damaged, because the pump cannot run without oil.
8.2.2 Magnetic plug
Magnetic plug (8) protects the oil pump and it is installed before the oil pump.
Caution! Regularly clean the magnetic plug. If it is blocked, the pump will fail. Please refer to
clean magnetic plug in chapter 8.3.2.
Caution! Under any circumstance, the gauze element is indispensible and it cannot be replaced by
other types with different apertures.
18 gauze element
19 plug

8.2.3 Filter element


The filter element used is full-flow type, which can filter all the lube oil from the pump to the
crusher. The filter element can be used only once. Please refer to replace filter element in
chapter 8.3.3.
Under normal operational temperatures, if the oil pressure decreases more than 0.22MPa (32psi)
after passing through the filter element, the filter element must be changed.
There is a by-pass valve on the filter element. If the oil pressure decrease exceeds 0.35MPa
(51psi), the valve will be open. Then part of oil will not pass through the filter element.
Caution! If the filter element must be replaced frequently, please check the dust-proof sealing
system of the crusher.
8.2.4 Oil pump
Under normal conditions, the lube oil pump doesnt need special attention. However, if the oil
contains stone dust or similar pollutants, special attention must be paid to it. The most common
sign of the wear of oil pump is the decrease of oil flow quantity.

Caution! When starting the oil pump, the oil tank must be filled with oil. Check and make sure
that the stop valve before the magnetic plug is on before starting the oil pump.
Replacement
The capacity of the pump under standard operational temperatures and pressures is shown in the
following table. (if the motor is connected with power source with the frequency of 60Hz, not
50Hz, the capacity will be 20% higher and the oil flow will increase as well.)
If the oil flow drops to the minimum value in the table, the oil pump should be replaced.

Inspection
Check the oil supply condition by measuring the oil flow quantity. Put a bucket with a specific
capacity under the opening of the return oil chamber and then measure the time needed for filling
the bucket.
E.G. if it takes 20 minutes to fill a bucket with a capacity of 10 liters, the oil flow rate is
(10X60)/20 = 30 liters /min
8.2.5 Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge (3) shows the pressure value measured by the pressure gauge connector (5)
between the oil pump (4) and filter element (7).
Inspection
Regularly check the pressure and record the readings. Under normal operational temperatures, the
pressure in the main system is usually 0.15-0.5 MPa (21.8-72.5psi). the value depends on the
installation of the oil tank. If the pressure increases before the filter element, the filter element
needs to be replaced. Extremely low pressures may show that the pump is worn or the magnetic
plug is blocked.

8.2.6 Pressure drop sensor


The pressure drop sensor (6) monitors the pressure drop after passing through filter element and
send a signal if the pressure drop exceeds 0.22 MPa (32 psi ). The signal means that the filter
element needs to be replaced.
The signal is transmitted electronically to the pressure drop indicator light (1) and the red button
will pop up from the top of the sensor (about 4mm).
Caution! During cold start, as the oil is very viscous, the indicator may give a wrong signal.
When the working temperature is achieved, the electric signal will automatically reset, but the
mechanical signal (red button) must be reset manually. If the red button automatically popes up
again after reaching the working temperature or if the light is still on, the filter element must be
replaced.
8.2.7 Thermometer
The thermometer (2) monitors the temperature of the return oil. The temperature of return oil
depends on the load of the crusher, ambient temperature and oil viscosity. Please refer to
temperature control switch in chapter 8.2.11.
Inspection
Calibrate the thermometer every year to ensure the correctness of its reading. Carry out the
inspection when the oil temperature is 40-50 C (104-122 F)
8.2.8 Safety valve
The safety valve (10) is installed between the filter element (7) and radiator. Its function is to
lower down the pressure on the oil pump (4) and radiator when the crusher is started under a low
temperature with highly viscous oil.
Caution! Do not change the setting of the valve. The valve is set at 0.7 MPa (102 psi)

8.2.9 Switch of return oil flow


The return oil flow is monitored by the oil flow switch in the return oil chamber in the oil tank.
The connection method of the switch of return oil flow ensures that the driving motor of the
crusher can only be started when there is enough oil pumped to the crusher and then returning to
the crusher through the switch of return oil flow. Besides the lube oil pump (4) can only be started
when the switch of return oil flow is working well.
The switch of return oil flow is connected to float (20) in the return oil chamber (24) to monitor
the rise or fall of the float. There are an adjustable lower outlet (22) and a overflow baffle plate
(21) in the oil return chamber.
Caution! The lower outlet has been adjusted before leaving factory and the setting should not be
changed.
After oil return to the oil tank, the oil level in the return oil chamber should at least 5mm (0.20")
higher than the baffle plate. When the oil level is at that position, the float is completely immersed
in the oil and the buoyancy of the oil will push the float to the baffle plate.
If the oil flow decreases, the oil level in the return oil chamber will drop. When the oil level
decreases about 15mm (0.59"), the float will be at 5mm below the baffle plate. At this position, the
switch will be on and the driving motor of the crusher will stop.
Inspection
Push the float downward from the baffle plate by 5mm (0.20) below the baffle plate, and check
the oil level monitor. Then the driving motor of the crusher must be stopped.

8.2.10 filter mesh


The filter mesh (23) separates the dirt from the oil and expels the air from the oil as well.
Inspection
Check carefully the filter mesh. Especially during running-in period, it has to be checked every
day. If there is metal particles on the mesh, there may a fault. Check it and locate the cause to
avoid possible risks.

8.2.11 Temperature control switch


Two sensing heads of the temperature control switch is in the return oil chamber (24). The
temperature control switch TG2 of the cooler controls the cooling of the oil pumped to the crusher
whereas the protective temperature control switch TG1 shuts down the driving motor of the
crusher when the oil temperature is too high.

Energy Accumulator

This chapter introduces the maintenance of energy accumulator.


To ensure safety, please read carefully safety precautions in the chapter 2 before carrying out
any work or adjustment on the machine.
9.1 Overview
Danger of explosion
Damaged energy accumulator may have a risk of explosion, so it should be protected against
any mechanical or heat damage (impact, welding etc.).
Energy accumulator (1) is a conical pressure container, which has a rubber gasbag fixed at the

top of the container by gas charging valve. The rubber gasbag is filled with nitrogen.

The setting increases due to overpressure


Oil is squeezed from hydraulic cylinder to energy accumulator, which allows the mantle to fall
deep enough to pass the iron chips from the cavity. After the obstacles leave the cavity, the air
pressure in the energy accumulator immediately push the oil back to the hydraulic cylinder.

10.2 Check the cavity
Check the liners at a proper interval. Please refer to daily inspection and maintenance in
chapter 6.1. new machines must be inspected more frequently. After the liners are replaced twice,
the inspection interval can be longer.
Daily inspection can help to decide the right time to replace the liners. It is hard to tell the wear
limit of a liner. Decrease of capacity or thickness, nicks and cracks are all signs of wear.
During harsh operational conditions, the liners may need to be replaced before they are worn.
One possible reason for this is improper feed, which leads to excessive wear on one side of the
mantle. It also shows that the setting may differ due to different measurement positions on the
circumference of the cavity.

A A dimension
B groove
C groove

Check the liners to avoid:


a) Excessive wear of the contacting surface of upper frame and mantle.
b) Loss of production due to decrease of capacity, unqualified product or unexpected downtime.
If the fractions of feed material are not even, similar problems will arise as those in the case of
improper feed device. If most of the feed material is close to the maximum feed size, the crushing
will happen in the upper part of the cavity, which could incur an annular groove (B groove) in the
cavity. If there is much fine material in the feed, the crushing will mainly take place in the lower
part of the cavity (C groove).
The foregoing disadvantages will far outweigh the benefits of using worn liners. Optimal cost
efficiency can be achieved by changing liners at proper times.
Besides, if the main shaft is raised due to maintaining the desired setting and the distance (A
dimension) between the head nut and the bottom of the arm frame is less than 15mm (0.6"), the
liner must be replaced.
The main shaft is raised by hydraulic device to compensate the wear and thus maintain the
desired setting.
A dimension shows the position of main shaft in the crusher.
Caution! The main shaft cannot be raised so high that the A dimension is less than 15mm (0.6").
If the main shaft is raised further, the arm frame bearing in the upper frame may be damaged.
Caution! Every cavity design has a specific setting interval when the liners are within wear limit.
E.G.:

MF (medium fine) cavity


The theoretical setting interval is 6-16 mm (0.24-0.63").
If the crusher runs with the 6 mm (0.24") setting, the rate of reaching the minimum A dimension
15 mm (0.6) is faster than running with the setting 16 mm (0.63"). So when the setting is larger,
the wear rate of the liner is slower.
As the wear of liners depends on the cavity shape, it is hard to predict where is the A dimension.
Therefore operation and visual inspection experience is a must for determining the right time for
changing liners.
10.3 Arm frame bearing

10.3.1 Check the arm frame bearing


Maximum clearance and distance allowed above the pivot

Check the clearance of the arm frame bearing when changing the liners or twice every year
(1000hours). If the feed material is very abrasive, the inspection frequency should be increased.
If the clearance (S) is close to the maximum value allowed, and the old bushing continues to be
used, the frequency of filling grease should be increased.
When measuring the clearance (8), push the main shaft toward the direction of main shaft
inclination and then measure with the clearance gauge at the other side. The clearance gauge
should be parallel with the pivot. It is included in the tool box delivered along with the crusher.
Caution! Make sure that the clearance gauge will not damage the oil seal of arm frame bearing or
the scraper.
If the clearance exceeds the maximum value allowed, the pipe connection and/or main shaft
bushing must be replaced. When removing the bearing, the old parts should be measured to make
a comparison with new ones so that the worst worn part can be found and then the replacement of
the one part can help to achieve a proper clearance.
If the clearance is much larger than the maximum value, abnormal inclination of the main shaft
occurred in the crushing process and the wear angle of the eccentric is incorrect.

Chapter Eleven

Setting Measurement

This chapter introduces the measurement of the CSS setting.


To ensure safety, please read carefully safety precautions in the chapter 2 before carrying out
any work or adjustment on the machine.
11.1 Overview
Set up the adjustment system to compensate the wear of mantle and concave as well as to change
the CSS of the crusher.
Generally the frequency of checking CSS depends on the wear rate of the liners. Abrasive rocks
require more frequent inspections while non-abrasive material only needs periodical inspections.
It is recommended to check the concave regularly to make sure that it doesnt suffer from uneven
wear or become oval. Besides, also check if there is partial wear or damage in the cavity. If liners
are worn, the mantle cannot be raised to contact the concave and the main shaft head nut has a risk
of contacting hub bottom of the arm frame. This condition will happen very soon when the crusher
is crushing abrasive material with a large CSS.
Caution! Do not raise the main shaft to A dimension 15 mm (0.6"). if the main shaft is raised
further, the arm frame bearing in the upper frame may be damaged. Please refer to check the
cavity in chapter 10.2.
11.1.1 Check the setting with a lead block
Please refer to chapter 4.2.1.
