Cone Crusher Inspection Checks

Checks we recommend you perform on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis*:

A daily check of the condition and cleanliness of the hydraulic power units, hydraulic oil tank levels, oil temperatures, cooling fans and oil pressure levels among others

Overall noise of the crusher while operating

Bearing temperatures, crusher vibrations, feed distribution, feed level and electric power draw

More thorough and specialized inspections should then be conducted by a qualified personnel*:

1000-hour Operating Inspection:

up to two hours with the equipment operating and about 4-6 hours shutdown depending on whether it’s a stationary or mobile operation to review general condition of equipment.

This includes a review of key wear components and additional verification of critical spare components. No disassembly of the equipment is required.

Wear Replacement Inspection.

Whenever wears are replaced on any type of crusher, a more in-depth inspection can be performed not only on the bowls / concaves and mantle, but also on other components such as bushings, eccentrics, MPS, pitmans depending on the crusher being inspected. All points covered in the 1000-hr inspection are also done.

Annual Major Inspection

One or two-day disassembly inspection including assessment of the condition of all major components with detailed measurements. Typically, wear part change-outs, major spare parts and component replacement or an equipment upgrade can be scheduled at the same time.
