Crusher Feeder & Chute

Feeder and Hopper to the primary
crusher.
Liner plates in HARDOX 400, HARDOX
450 or HARDOX 500.

Jaw crusher
Linear plates in HARDOX 550 or
HARDOX 600.

Hammer crusher
Liner plates in HARDOX 450 or
HARDOX 500.
Anvils in HARDOX 500 or
HARDOX 550. Can be problems
with replacing the original anvils.
They are often cast and have a
complicated design.
Hammers replacing cast material
can have lamellar structure in
HARDOX 550 or HARDOX 600.
Huge potential. Risks for fractures
during process and tempering
during fabrication. Contact your
application engineer.

Gratings
Gratings can be made of HARDOX
450 or HARDOX 500.
To beware of at fabrication.
The plates can get tempered from
cutting and welding.
The bars can twist during the
attachment process.
