To ensure optimal performance, longevity, and safety of gyratory crusher, strict attention must be paid to the following during operation:
Proper Feed Control: The crusher must be fed evenly across the full circumference of the crushing chamber. Choke feeding (where the chamber is kept full) is generally recommended to promote inter-particle crushing, maximize capacity, and produce a more consistent product shape. Underfeeding should be avoided.
Regular Lubrication System Maintenance: The heart of a gyratory crusher is its complex hydraulic and lubrication system for the main shaft and eccentric assembly. Daily checks of oil level, temperature, pressure, and filter condition are non-negotiable. Contaminated or inadequate lubrication is a primary cause of catastrophic failure.
Liner Wear Monitoring and Mantle/Concave Changes: The manganese steel mantles and concaves wear out. Regular measurement of wear and timely scheduling of planned liner changes are critical to maintain product gradation and prevent damage to the crusher body. This is a major, planned shutdown activity requiring specialized tools and procedures.
Safety First During Maintenance: Given the size and complexity, all maintenance, especially liner changes or work inside the chamber, must follow stringent Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures. The massive components pose significant safety risks if not handled correctly.
In conclusion, the gyratory crusher remains an indispensable crusher machine for capital-intensive, high-tonnage mining and quarrying operations. Its selection is justified by an unparalleled capacity to reduce the largest and hardest materials reliably and efficiently.
