GYRATORY CRUSHER

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

MANUAL NO.: 59001427


CUSTOMER: SIERRA GORDA
PROJECT: MINERA QUADRA CHILE LIMITADA
CONTRACT NO.: 11-20472-720
SIZE: 1100 x 1800
MODEL: Type “TS”
Gyratory Crusher
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”
upper portion of the crusher forms a stationary
crushing surface consisting of a cone-shaped chamber made up of the middle
and top shell sections. The chamber is lined with wear-resistant liners called
concaves. Inside the gyratory crushing surface is a moving shaft assembly,
called a main shaft. The main shaft is lined with a wear resistent liner called a
mantle. Relative movement between these surfaces creates the crushing
function.

At the top of the crusher is a support for the main shaft, referred to as the spider
assembly. The spider assembly incorporates a machined journal that positions
(restrains laterally) the upper end of the main shaft.

The spider is a cast-steel structure with the hub in the center and two integrally
cast arms. The ends of the arms are tapered and machined to fit into pockets in
the top shell. Bolts secure the spider to the rim of the top shell, seating the
spider in the tapered pocket.

The shell and the main shaft are covered with liners called concaves on the shell,
and mantles on the main shaft. Typically, when the mantle wears, the main shaft
assembly is removed and replaced with another rebuilt main shaft assembly.
The mantle on the removed main shaft can then be replaced, ready for the next
change-out. Concave replacement is carried out in place, with the main shaft
assembly removed. The concave liners are usually replaced as a complete set.
Concave liners may be installed individually or per row, via specialized
installation tooling.

Note that the part of the main shaft assembly in contact with the ore is the
mantle. The mantle is retained on the main shaft by a heavy head nut. This nut
is self-tightening due to the crushing action. The crushing head is supported
laterally at the top in the spider journal.

At the lower end of the crusher, the main shaft journal passes through the
eccentric. This arrangement offsets the lower end of the shaft with respect to the
centerline of the crusher. Therefore, when the eccentric is rotated by the gear
train, the lower end of the main shaft gyrates (moves back and forth in a small
circular path within the crushing chamber), progressively receding from and
approaching the stationary concave liners.

Air is used to pressurize the area above the eccentric. This area is created by an
enclosure called the dust seal bonnet. The core is sealed against the dust seal
bonnet by a dust seal ring located at the bottom of the core. This dust seal ring
runs against the outer periphery of the dust seal bonnet. By pressurizing the
area inside the dust seal bonnet, dust is prevented from entering the area and
contaminating the lubrication system and the eccentric.

The OSS should be checked weekly, whenever there is reason to suspect


that the setting has changed, or after major crusher maintenance work
that may have affected the setting. The OSS is impossible to measure
while the crusher is operating, but the closed-side setting (CSS), or gap, is
easily measured. The crusher throw is defined as the offset distance of
the eccentric journal of the crusher. Knowing the throw and the closed-
side crusher gap, the open-side setting can easily be calculated by the
equation:

CSS + THROW = OSS

The closed-side setting is measured by passing a soft malleable metal,


such as a lead or foil ball, through the crusher. The ball is only slightly
larger than the crusher open-side setting, and it is attached to a rope or
wire so that it may be easily retrieved after it has passed through the
crusher. The ball is slowly lowered through the crusher and, as the ball
passes through the crusher, the crusher compresses it to a thickness
equal to the CSS. After the ball is retrieved, the operator can measure the
ball to determine the closed-side setting, and then perform the above
calculation to determine the OSS.

The primary crusher is adjusted by raising or lowering the mantle with the
hydraulic adjustment system. Lowering the mantle increases the OSS;
raising the mantle decreases the OSS. The crusher gap is checked and
set while the crusher is operating and the crusher chamber is empty.

PROCEDURE:
1) Ensure that the crusher is running empty.

THE CRUSHER SHOULD NEVER OPERATE MORE THAN


15 MINUTES WITHOUT LOAD OR TIRES.

2) Ensure that the operator performing the CSS measurement


is equipped with a safety harness and that the harness is
securely attached to a fixed object. The CSS measurement
requires the operator to stand at the edge of the crusher
dump pocket above the running crusher.
3) Tie a lead or foil ball to a rope and lower it through the
running crusher.

4) Retrieve the ball and measure the smallest dimension. This


dimension is the closed-side setting (CSS).
5) Calculate the crusher open-side setting (OSS), and
determine how much, if any, the mantle height needs to be
adjusted.
6) If the OSS is not within the target range setting, the mantle
must be raised or lowered to attain the desired OSS. The
mantle height may be adjusted using the local hydraulic
adjustment system controls or using the controls in the
control room. The following steps describe how to adjust the
crusher mantle height. (NOTE: The crusher mantle height is
displayed in inches or mm.)

A. Approximate how far the mantle must be raised or


lowered to attain the desired crusher setting, and use
the calibration curve to determine the percent mantle.
B. With new crusher concaves and mantle, an upward
movement of of 1 inch (25 mm) the mantle gives an
OSS reduction of approximately .25 - .40 inch (6-10
mm) depending on machine size and crushing
chamber geometry. Always check any adjustment by
measuring OSS directly.
C. If the mantle must be raised, start the hydraulic
adjustment system motor. Allow the motor to run for
a couple of minutes to ensure the adjustment system
is filled with oil.
D. If the mantle needs to be raised, depress the Raise
pushbutton. Watch the mantle height on the mantle
height indicator, and release the pushbutton when the
mantle height has increased the desired amount.
E. If the mantle needs to be lowered, depress the Lower
pushbutton. Watch the mantle height on the mantle
height indicator, and release the pushbutton when the
mantle height has decreased the desired amount.
(NOTE: If the mantle needs to be lowered, the motor
does not have to be started.)
F. Measure the crusher CSS again, and calculate the
OSS.
G. If the OSS is not within the target range setting, adjust
the crusher mantle height again. If the OSS is within
the target range setting, turn off the hydraulic
adjustment system motor.

5.7.3 – CLEARING THE CRUSHER

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:


1) Barricades
2) Excavator
3) Special abrasion-resistant rope and lifting slings
4) Rigging gear
5) Body harness
6) Pry bars
7) Hooks
8) Primary crusher service crane
9) Primary crusher hydraulic rock breaker

During the course of normal crushing operations, there may be occasion


(such as a temporary power failure or an interlock trip condition) when the
crusher stops with ore in the dump pocket and crushing chamber. When
this occurs, the following procedure should be followed to restart the
crusher.
PROCEDURE:
1) Depress the hydraulic adjustment system mantle Lower
pushbutton until the mantle has dropped approximately ¾” to
1 inch (20 to 25 mm), as shown on the mantle position
indicator.
2) Energize the crusher motor.
3) Allow the crusher to clear itself.
4) Start the hydraulic adjustment system and allow it to run for
about 20 seconds. (NOTE: All crusher mantle adjustments
should only be made with the crusher stopped or running
empty.)
5) Depress the hydraulic adjustment system Raise pushbutton
to bring the mantle back to its normal position.
6) If the crusher cannot be cleared in this manner, lower the
mantle a little more and try again.
7) If successive attempts to lower the mantle and start the
crusher fail, the crusher may be overloaded or there may be
an uncrushable object such as a shovel tooth or drill bit
which is larger than the open-side setting wedged in the
crusher. It may be necessary to clear all material from the
crushing chamber to determine why the crusher cannot be
started. The crusher may be cleared by using an excavator

7.500761 Op - 12
Rev. 0
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

to reach down into the crushing chamber to clear the


material. Attempts to start the crusher may be made as
more and more material is cleared. (NOTE: Ensure that
sufficient time is allowed between attempts to avoid
overheating and damaging the crusher motor.)
8) As the excavator is clearing the crushing chamber, a single
large rock that is preventing the crusher from starting may be
uncovered, or a piece of tramp metal wedged between the
mantle and the concaves may ultimately be uncovered.

A. If a large rock is uncovered, an attempt should first be


made to break the rock with the rock breaker. If this
is unsuccessful, the rock must be removed from the
crushing chamber with the service crane
B. If the crusher has been jammed with tramp metal, it
will be necessary to remove the object with a thermal
torch or an oxy-acetylene torch

5.7.4 – CLEARING TRAMP MATERIAL JAM

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:


1) Lockout locks
2) Approved respirator
3) Work gloves
4) Safety harness
5) Work cage
6) Heat-resistant protective clothing
7) Face shield
8) Shaded welding goggles
9) Thermal cutting torch
10) Oxy-acetylene cutting torch with extensions
11) Oxygen
12) Acetylene
13) Rubber safety boots
14) Flashlight or suitable light source

Clearing tramp metal from a gyratory crusher is a major problem that


usually requires many hours of downtime to resolve. Accordingly, every
effort must be made to prevent uncrushable objects from entering

7.500761 Op - 13
Rev. 0
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

the crusher. The normal remedy is to clear such jams with a thermal
cutting torch or an oxygen-acetylene cutting torch.

Each circumstance must be evaluated to determine the best and safest


course of action. Using a thermal cutting torch is considered a safe
method to remove tramp iron. Oxygen-acetylene cutting torches with
extra-long gas-mixing chambers (also called butts) are also used to cut
metals. Cutting and burning metals, such as tramp iron, is generally
slower with oxygen-acetylene torches.

The thermal cutting torch is a self-contained tool consisting of a


combination of special metal alloy wires inside a long steel pipe. Sections
are available in standard lengths (usually about 10 feet long), and two or
more lengths may be coupled together to reach into the crusher cavity.

The torch generates heat to temperatures exceeding 2,475ºC (4,487ºF)


when the alloys combine with pressurized oxygen forced through the pipe.
The intense, concentrated heat generated by the torch melts the tramp
iron with such speed that there is usually no structural damage to the
surrounding materials. The procedure is specific for a thermal cutting
torch. The techniques described are also applicable to an oxy-acetylene
cutting torch.

PROCEDURE:
1) Notify the mine or haul truck dispatch that the crusher is
shutting down and no more ore may be dumped into the
crusher. Turn the dump light to the NO DUMPING position.
2) Erect barricades to block access to the dump pocket area.
3) Post signs on the barricades that say, “No Dumping—
Workers in Crusher”.
4) Lock out the primary crusher and the rock breaker according
to lockout procedure.
5) Clear the crusher of ore.

Always work from the top of the crusher and never


enter the crushing cavity. Preferably, the cutting
torch operator should work from a suspended cage.

7.500761 Op - 14
Rev. 0
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

6) The torch operator should either stand in a cage, lowered


into a position above and to the side of the tramp iron, or
stand on a temporarily constructed steel platform erected for
clearing the crusher. A thermal cutting torch pipe can be
easily lengthened and bent to reach the tramp iron without
placing a person in the crusher.

Do not attempt to dislodge or loosen the tramp


material with a sledgehammer, pry bar, or long
pipe. Serious personal injury could result.
Anyone working near the top of the crusher must
wear an approved safety harness with a line
securely fastened to a fixed object.
The tramp metal may be under stress. Relieving
the stress by heating may cause the tramp metal
to be forcibly ejected. Place the work platform in
a protected position.

7) Connect the cutting torch to an oxygen supply, and set the


oxygen pressure to permit a small amount of oxygen to flow
through the cutting torch.
8) Ignite the cutting torch while carefully following the
manufacturer’s operating instructions.

When working with torch cutting equipment, use


heat-resistant protective clothing and gloves,
shaded welding goggles, hardhat, and face shield.

9) Open the oxygen-regulating valve completely. The cutting


torch should now burn vigorously.

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

When doing any torch cutting around a crusher,


wear a respirator. The noxious fumes produced
during the cutting process can be harmful if
breathed continuously in concentrated form. Avoid
inhaling fumes. Provide adequate ventilation.
Do not permit anyone to watch (i.e., to be in a line of
sight of) the operation. It is possible for material
released from the crusher to fly out with great force
and velocity.

10) After the tramp iron has been located, lower the cutting torch
into the crushing cavity and proceed to “wash” the tramp
metal away. Start at the top of the tramp iron and wash the
molten metal downward. It is very important that the molten
metals runs out freely and not forms a puddle on the tramp
iron. Slightly rotate the cutting portion of the torch to
accelerate the washing operation and to keep the tramp iron
from rewelding to itself.

Do not touch the tramp iron or put any pressure on


it with the torch. Always maintain a short gap when
cutting metals. Always keep the torch moving in
order to prevent it from being fused to the metal
being burned.

11) During the cutting operation, protect the discharge feeder


from sparks, molten slag, and metal by maintaining ore in
the crusher surge hopper or otherwise blocking material from
reaching the discharge belt feeder. It is possible for molten
slag to drop out of the crusher onto the belt feeder.
12) When using a thermal cutting torch, work quickly because
the burning time of a 10-foot-long thermal cutting torch is
only 3 to 5 minutes. Never start with a torch less than 10
feet long because the torch is consumed during burning.
The pipe portion of a thermal cutting torch is similar to a
conventional welding electrode in that the entire length of
pipe is self-consuming (it “disappears” during use). Save the
thermal torch remains and remove them from the crusher.

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

Do not use a thermal cutting torch when the pipe


length is shorter than 5 feet (1.5 m). Either thread or
push on an additional 10-foot (3-m) length. The
cutting torches are designed for quick attachment
of additional lengths.

13) When the tramp metal is removed, inspect the crusher and
discharge conveyor for damage.
14) Remove the lockouts and barricades and restart the crusher.

5.8 – PROPER ROCK BREAKER INSTALLATION


INTRODUCTION:
Hydraulic rock breakers are a common piece of equipment installed and used at
a primary gyratory crusher station. This equipment is commonly used to
manipulate over size and irregular shaped pieces of ore into the crusher and to
break the pieces of feed that can not be manipulated into the crusher into smaller
pieces that will enter the crushing chamber. Since the inception and
popularization of hydraulic rock breakers, the number of occasions in which
spider shields, spider caps, top shell wearing plates and the upper rows of
concaves have been dislodged from crushers has increased. Investigations of a
number of these occurrences has revealed the primary causes to be an
obstructed operator’s view and/or an overly aggressive use of the rock breaker.
The crusher operator must have an un-obstructed view of the pick end of the
rock breaker whenever hydraulic power is applied to the pick.
The view of the entire crusher dump pocket and crushing chamber should be
available from the rock breaker controls. The view of the dump hopper and
crushing chamber should not be obstructed by seemingly insignificant items such
as lighting, cameras, junction boxes, etc.
Closed circuit TV is a common way of providing an un-obstructed view.
When CC TV is used, the placement of the monitor is as important as the
placement of the camera(s). The TV monitor must be in a position that is visible
to the operator whenever the rock breaker is in use.

5.9 – PROPER ROCK BREAKER USE


INTRODUCTION:
The function of a rock breaker is to apply the amount of force required to break
any over sized rock located anywhere in the dump hopper and the crushing
chamber.

7.500761 Op - 17
Rev. 0
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

This requirement often requires the use of the rock breaker in close proximity to
major crusher components.
Care should be used not to contact any part of the crusher with any part of the
rock breaker, including the rock breaker arm or rock breaker pick housing, during
the use of the rock breaker.

Improper use of the rock breaker can damage


crusher components. Avoid contact of any part of
the crusher with any part of the rock breaker.

A Teflon seal is installed in a groove in the gear cover assembly above the
eccentric. The seal rides against the journal of the main shaft and contains oil
splashed from the eccentric.

The main shaft is supported at its lower end by a thrust bearing. The thrust
bearing is, in turn, supported on a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly. Oil is
trapped under the piston in the cylinder assembly. By varying the amount of oil,
the main shaft is raised or lowered to adjust the proximity of the mantle relative to
the crushing chamber.

When the crusher is empty, the main shaft and crushing head rotate, driven by
the oil shear friction within the eccentric journal.

6.1 – INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this maintenance section is to provide the maintenance
technicians and planners with the information and procedures required to
effectively maintain, troubleshoot, and repair the crusher and its auxiliary
systems.
Specifications are provided to prepare for component repair and replacement, as
well as maintaining the crusher assembly while in operation and during shutdown
periods.
Preventive maintenance checksheets are provided to assist maintenance
personnel and crusher operators in maintaining and operating the crusher and its
systems. The checksheets specify recommended routine mechanical,
lubrication, electrical, and instrument inspection tasks. The checksheets can
also be used by operators for cursory running inspections and to report potential
and current problems to maintenance personnel.
Predictive maintenance forecasts and failure mode effect analysis provides
proactive and active guidelines for troubleshooting and maintaining the crusher
and its systems. The consistent and correct use of these maintenance tools is
intended to contribute to the optimum efficiency and economic life of the crusher
assembly.
The component replacement and repair instructions are provided to serve as a
baseline set of procedures for the replacement and/or repair of major wear
components. The intent of these procedures is to make the replacement/repair
effort consistent among work crews, and provide a basis for continued revision
and improvement. The ultimate goal is to improve the efficiency, productivity,
and economic life of the crusher and its auxiliary systems.

6.2 – MANGANESE STEEL GROWTH AND TRIMMING OF


CONCAVES AND MANTLES
During crushing of medium hard to hard ores the surface of manganese steel
concaves and mantles grow (peen). This surface growth flows into the gaps
between the concaves and mantles. As the growth continues, the concave gaps
peen shut. The surface growth continues, however, and large forces develop in
the concaves and mantles.
This force is transferred to the middle and upper shell sections and in cases
these forces have been great enough to cause shell failures.
The growth of manganese steel mantles can cause a large force to be applied to
the head nut threads making the removal of the head nut difficult and
occasionally damaging the threads on the main shaft.

7.500762 M-2
Rev. 0
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”
In mining applications, the abrasive wear rate of the mantle usually exceeds the
growth rate of the manganese and consequently the joints between the mantle
parts never close before the mantle parts are replaced. Occasionally, however,
the peening occurs at the joint between the upper mantle and the burn out ring.
The peening (growth) of the manganese during crushing is a condition that
affects only the surface of the concaves and mantle. Usually, the depth of this
growth zone is ½” to ¾” [12 mm to 16 mm].
To prevent damage to the crusher, it is necessary to periodically scarf (burn)
away any material that flows into the concave and mantle joints.
Care should be used during the scarfing not to damage the epoxy in the joints
between the concaves.
Usually, the scarfing is done at a 45 ° angle to allow for maximum growth before
the next scarfing.
Scarfing joints is accomplished by using a high-amperage welding machine (400
to 600 Amp) and carbon-arc rods.

The surface of alloy concaves does not work-


harden and grow, so there is no need to scarf the
joints of the alloy concaves.

6.3.2 – Mechanical Preventative Maintenance (Weekly)

EQUIPMENT:
¾ Crusher Assembly

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE DESCRIPTION:

MECHANICAL WEEKLY – SHUTDOWN PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE


INSPECTION

SAFETY:
1) Ensure that the crusher drive motor, lubrication system, and hydraulic
adjustment system are inactive to avoid interference with their
operation due to mechanical inspection and tests.
2) Prior to proceeding with mechanical PM tasks, check for the presence
of main and control power at appropriate equipment. Control power
may be in the form of media pressure, temperature, or low- or high-
voltage electrical power.
3) Ensure that all personal protective equipment is being used.
4) Ensure that all test equipment is correctly calibrated and in good
operating condition.
5) After completion of the PM tasks, ensure that all safety guards, labels,
and signs are in place and properly secured. Remove locks and tags
from the appropriate equipment, and release the system or unit for
service according to established procedures.

COMMENTS:

The primary crusher is started, stopped, and operated from the control
console located in the control room. The primary crusher lubrication system,
hydraulic adjustment system, and spider lubrication system can also be
started from the control console in the control room. These units also have
local control panels normally used for maintenance purposes. Although the
operation of the primary crusher is accomplished almost entirely from the
control console, maintenance personnel can assist the control room operator
with field observations of ore movement to and through the crusher as well as
a variety of observations of the operation of the unit and its auxiliary systems.
Immediately notify a supervisor of any problems or potential problems
concerning safety or problems that might cause equipment downtime.
Document any and all unusual conditions observed, measurements made,
and any work required.

CRUSHER The peening (growth) of the


ASSEMBLY manganese during crushing is a
(continued) condition that affects only the
surface of the concaves and
mantle.
Usually, the depth of this growth
zone is ½” to ¾” [12 mm to 16
mm]. During scarfing only this zone
of surface growth has to be
removed.
Care should be used during the
scarfing not to damage the epoxy
in the joints between the concaves.
Usually, the scarfing is done at a
45 ° angle to allow for maximum
growth before the next scarfing.
Scarfing joints is accomplished by
using a high-amperage welding
machine (400 to 600 Amp) and
carbon-arc rods.
NOTE: The surface of Alloy
concaves does not work-
harden and grow, so there
is no need to scarf their
joints
Mantles:
The growth of manganese steel
mantles can cause excessive force
to be applied to the head nut
threads making the removal of the
head nut difficult and occasionally
damaging the threads on the main
shaft.

2.1 - GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION


This instruction manual discusses only the basic safety concerns related to the
installation, operation, and maintenance of the “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher.
As with all machinery with moving components, attention to personal safety is of
the utmost importance. The “TSU” Gyratory Crusher is designed with safety
factors in mind, with respect to structural steel, high pressure hydraulic
components, electrical components and drive components. All moving parts or
potential pinch points are provided with safety guards. FLSmidth Minerals
provides all of the static and dynamic load requirements, as well as the clearance
dimensions necessary to the design a safe and sound platform for the operation
and maintenance of the Crusher. The actual installation of the Crusher with
respect to plant layout is the responsibility of the customer or agents of the
customer.

The Safety Section of this Instruction Manual is not to be construed to supersede


any of the safety policies of the customer and applicable government agencies.
Instead, the safety topics and recommendations should only be regarded as an
aid in assisting the customer to write their own safety procedures pertaining to
the installation, operation, and maintenance of the “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory
Crusher. There are specific safety concerns related to the installation, operation,
and maintenance of the “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher, and FLSmidth
Minerals has outlined these concerns in the following paragraphs.

Moving Components and Potential Pinch Points: As with all mechanical


equipment with exposed movable components, workers must be made aware of
the dangers and adequately protected from these dangers. Following is a list of
areas must be guarded:

ƒ The “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher requires a gyrating motion to


provide the forces necessary to crush rock. The Crusher opening of the
“TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher is large enough for a person to fall into.
Because of this, the areas above the Crusher must be guarded against
the possibility for someone to fall into the crushing chamber.

ƒ Drive power to the Crusher is normally transmitted from an electric motor


through a countershaft extension, coupled to a countershaft. This entire
area of power transmission must be guarded to protect workers from
accidentally falling into or placing a limb into pinch points of the drive
arrangement or against high speed rotating elements. FLSmidth Minerals
has available a drive guard assembly to enclose these elements for
worker and machinery protection. Occasionally the electric motor is

directly coupled to the Crusher. In this case, the worker must be protected
from high speed rotating elements.

ƒ The Hydraulic Adjustment Assembly operates using a hydraulic piston that


raises and lowers with the addition of removal of hydraulic fluid. An alarm
should sound to warn workers whenever the adjustment mechanism is
about to be actuated. Workers must be instructed to stand clear.

ƒ Insure that all guards are mounted in their proper position prior to
operation of the Crusher.

ƒ Though proper guarding should protect the individual worker, it is still


important that workers do not wear loose fitting clothing, ties, and rings, or
have exposed long hair that can get caught up in machinery. Local safety
procedures will apply in all instances.

2.2 - SLIP, TRIP, AND FALL HAZARDS


Working around a Rock Crusher can present a number of potential slip, trip, and
fall hazards, such as rock spillage and oil leaks. During liner changes and other
maintenance activities, it may be necessary to climb down into the internal area
of the Crusher for maintenance and clean up. The interior of the eccentric
assembly and the gear areas will be wet with lubricating oil, which presents a
serious slipping hazard.

ƒ Clean up all oil spills that may drain off on major Crusher components that
have been removed from the Crusher or that may have developed from
system leaks.

ƒ Use particular care when entering the oil wetted areas of the Crusher.
Also use care in keeping this area clean.

ƒ Insure that any and all grease collected during lubrication and
maintenance procedures is cleaned and disposed of properly.

ƒ Rock spillage can occur around a Crusher. Insure that spillage is cleaned
up promptly to eliminate potential slip, trip, and fall hazards.

ƒ Wet Crusher feed conditions and excessive dust suppression water


sprays can cause wet fines to accumulate on walkways. Wet fines tend to
be very slippery, so this condition should be guarded against.

COMMENTS:
Major maintenance tasks are conducted on the crusher when monthly
inspections indicate that a more detailed inspection or substantial repairs
or component replacements are required. Major maintenance may be
required at six-month to two-year intervals depending on the nature of the
ore crushed, and other site-specific operating conditions. The primary
crusher is started, stopped, and operated from the control console located
in the control room. The primary crusher lubrication system, hydraulic
adjustment system, and spider lubrication system can also be started from
the control console in the control room. These units also have local
control panels normally used for maintenance purposes. Immediately
notify a supervisor of any problems or potential problems concerning
safety or problems that might cause equipment downtime. Document

Gyratory Crusher
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

2.3 - PRESSURIZED HYDRAULICS / LUBRICATION


The “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher uses an FLSmidth Minerals supplied
Hydraulic Adjustment System, with hydraulic oil pressure up to 1,000 psi (69
bar).

The “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher operates with a lower pressure, high
volume lubrication system, which incorporates pressure relief valves, a filtration
system, motors and pumps, and cooling and heating components.

Crusher workers must be instructed to be aware of the following potential


dangers:

ƒ Oil under high pressure presents a considerable danger, when


accidentally released by maintenance personnel. Workers must be
instructed to electrically isolate and lockout the hydraulic power system
and dump the hydraulic pressure whenever maintenance is to be carried
out on the system.

ƒ Hydraulic oil is very flammable. Special care must be taken when doing
hot work about the Crusher. It is imperative that the hydraulic power unit
be electrically isolated, locked out and all hydraulic circuits dumped of
pressure.

ƒ Only workers trained in the maintenance and operation of the Gyratory


Crusher hydraulic system should be permitted to work on the system.

ƒ Only workers trained in the maintenance of these pressure vessels should


be allowed to work on the charged accumulators.

ƒ The lubrication system must be shut down, electrically isolated and locked
out whenever maintenance work involves maintenance of crusher
lubrication/hydraulic components or working on the lubrication system by
itself. This is particularly important when the lubricating oil is to be
changed out.

ƒ Workers must be fully trained in the operation and maintenance of the


“TSU” Gyratory Crusher lubrication/hydraulic system.

Gyratory Crusher
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

2.4 - LIFTING AND MOVING HEAVY COMPONENTS


The “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher has a number of very heavy components
and assemblies that must be removed and installed during the change out of
wear liners and other maintenance routines. Crusher workers must be instructed
about the following heavy lifting concerns:

ƒ The weights of major Crusher assemblies are listed in the Instruction


Manual as well as in the Parts List supplied with the Crusher. The weights
of individual parts that make up a Crusher assembly are only found in the
Parts List.

ƒ FLSmidth Minerals supplies a collection of tools specifically designed for


the installation and maintenance of the “TSU” Gyratory Crusher. Often,
there is only one Tool Collection per group of Crushers supplied. This
collection of Tools has all of the lifting fixtures and specifically sized ring
bolts necessary to install and maintain the “TSU” Gyratory Crusher.
Workers must be made aware of the importance of keeping the tools in an
environmentally protective and secure storage area.

ƒ Trained riggers and crane operators along with suitably sized lifting
capacity and rigging must be available when major Crusher maintenance
is undertaken.

ƒ Most of the major components of the “TSU” Gyratory Crusher are made
up of machined castings. The actual weights shown are nominal weights
determined by engineering methods. As castings, the actual weights can
be considered to vary by as much as plus or minus 10%.

ƒ Many pieces that make up the various Crusher assemblies are at or just
over what would be considered safe weight for a worker to lift. Again,
workers must be instructed to check with the Parts List to determine the
actual weight of the piece and to use proper lifting procedures. Weight
lifting restrictions are the responsibility of the customer’s safety program
and governmental agencies and are thus not addressed in this manual.

2.5 - FLYING OR FALLING OBJECTS


Gravity is used to introduce rock into the Crusher cavity. Overflow, worn chutes
or other possibilities for spillage can cause falling rock to present a safety hazard.
Crushing action can cause rock to be ejected from the crushing chamber,
particularly as rock is first being introduced into the chamber.

6.4 – COMPONENT AND SUBASSEMBLY


REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT

Introduction:
The following procedures cover the removal and replacement of major
components of the Type “TS” or “TSU” Gyratory Crusher. The purpose of these
procedures is to provide management, supervision, and craftsmen with sufficient
information to safely and effectively plan and accomplish crusher component
removal and replacement. These procedures provide a general, overall
sequence for component removal and replacement with details of each step in
the sequence. Existing conditions may require that the sequence must be
altered slightly to accommodate the prevailing conditions. The details of the
steps in the sequence should require little modification. Normal component
removal and replacement include the correction of minor misfits by moderate
amounts of straightening, shimming, chipping, cutting, grinding, or polishing for
proper fit and location of components. Misfits that cannot be corrected by the
these means, or which require major changes in equipment configuration, must
be reported immediately to FLSmidth USA, Inc. for correction of the misfit, or to
approve the most efficient and economic method of correction to be
implemented. When performing removal and replacement of major components,
such as shell sections or the main shaft assembly, the Erection Record Book
should be used as a reference. The Erection Record Book is a compilation of the
original installation progress, problems encountered and their solutions, and
measurements made. This information is valuable for comparing current and
original conditions and for identifying causes and lasting solutions of potential
problems. Prior to starting component removal and replacement, the appropriate
equipment must be locked and tagged out and the required work permits
obtained in accordance with established procedures.

TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

ƒ Spillage can accumulate on a lower deck and present slip and trip hazards
for workers. Good housekeeping is absolutely essential for safe Crusher
operations.

ƒ As crushing systems often involve a gravity flow design with pre and post
screening applications, it is not uncommon to have one or more decks
above and below the Crusher. Workers must be aware of anytime people
are working above them and likewise, anytime people are working below
them. Work should be coordinated to eliminate the potential for dropped
tools and parts, areas under workers cordoned off, or adequate overhead
protection should be provided.

2.6 - CONFINED SPACES


The discharge area under the Crusher is normally considered a confined space
and should be treated as such. As routine maintenance procedures require the
visual inspection of the underside of the Crusher, the Crusher lubrication lines
and the discharge cavity; the following concerns must be addressed:

ƒ Confined space work permits and procedures must be utilized whenever


maintenance work is to be carried out under the Crusher or in the
discharge cavity.

ƒ Electrically isolate and lockout the Feed Conveyor to the Crusher, the
Crusher and the Discharge Conveyor.

ƒ The discharge area must be designed in such a way as to provide safe


and easy access to the area under the Crusher. The discharge area must
be designed to eliminate spillage and allow for adequate dust control.

2.7 - RESPIRATORY CONCERNS


The crushing of rock produces rock dust. Rock dust is often fine enough to be
carried into the lungs during normal breathing. All rock dust presents some health
hazards, with some rock presenting especially serious health hazards. It is the
responsibility of the customer to provide a system to control the escape of
breathable rock dust or to provide personal protective equipment to protect the
workers.

Working on or about the Crusher also requires welding, thermal cutting and the
use of chemical reagents, all of which can present respiratory issues. Following
are concerns that must be addressed:

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

ƒ If hydraulic jacks are not available, drive wedges into the wedge
slots located in the upper shell flange. It is important to drive the
wedges evenly. It may be necessary to use a crane in conjunction
with the wedges to break the spider free. It is essential, however,
to avoid cocking the spider to avoid damage to the machined
surfaces of the spider and to the surfaces in the top shell spider
pockets.
ƒ When the spider is free, lift it off the crusher and set it on blocks.
ƒ Cover the spider bushing to keep it protected.

2) SPIDER BUSHING – REMOVAL (SEE FIGURE 6.4.1.2)


ƒ Remove the spider seal retaining plate and seal.
ƒ Remove the spider bushing bolts.
ƒ Remove the tapered bushing. A
tapered bushing can be removed
from the spider bore with the spider
and main shaft in place in the
crusher.
9 If the spider and main shaft are
in place in the crusher, place
blocking material between the
head nut and the concaves at a
minimum of three places to
stabilize the main shaft
assembly.
ƒ Remove the spider bushing bolts
and place these bolts in the tapped
holes in the spider bushing flange.
Tighten these bolts in a star pattern
to jack the bushing out of the tapered spider bore.
ƒ If the main shaft and the spider have been removed from the
crusher, pull the tapered bushing using steps above.
ƒ The bushing can also be lifted out with an overhead crane or
pressed out with a hydraulic jack after the spider has been removed
from the crusher.
ƒ Clean the bore of the spider before installing a new bushing.

3) MAIN SHAFT ASSEMBLY – REMOVAL


ƒ Lift the main shaft assembly out of the crusher and stand it
vertically in the main shaft repair pit or maintenance stand with the
use of a crane.
ƒ Protect machined surfaces. Unless the eccentric will be removed
immediately, cover the dust bonnet inside the crusher to exclude
dirt.

4) MAIN SHAFT WEARING RING – REMOVAL


ƒ Place eyebolts in one or more of the tapped holes provided in the
outer diameter of the main shaft wearing ring.
ƒ Remove the cotter pin and nut.
ƒ With a bar, pry the ring loose from the recess. Be aware that a
single dowel to keep the ring from rotating is placed between the
ring and main shaft.
ƒ Remove the ring when it is free.
ƒ Clean the recess in the main shaft. Check the tightness of the stud,
which is installed with LOCTITE.
ƒ If the stud is loose, remove the stud, and clean and reinstall it with
LOCTITE. The stud can be tightened down with pliers or a pipe
wrench; use care not to damage the threads.

5) MAINSHAFT SLEEVE – REMOVAL


ƒ Chip grooves lengthwise along the outside of the sleeve until it
opens and can be pulled off the main shaft.

6) MANTLE – REMOVAL
ƒ Place the main shaft assembly in a vertical position in its repair pit
or stand. Be sure to support the weight of the assembly on the
bottom of the shaft, not on the core. Supporting the weight of the
assembly on bottom of the core could loosen the fit on the shaft.
Place blocking and wedges between the eccentric journal of the
main shaft and the repair pit walls to support it vertically.
ƒ Remove the head nut by first removing the dowel pins between the
head nut and the mantle. The nut is most easily loosened by
welding ears onto it or using the tapped “slugging” holes provided,
then striking the ears with a ram suspended from a crane. If the nut
does not come loose, cut the burn-out (filler) ring located between
the nut and the mantle. This will relieve the pressure on the head
nut threads so the nut can be removed. A new burn-out (filler) ring
can be welded to the nut so that it can be reused. Refer to Main
Shaft Assembly drawing in Section 7 of this manual for the
procedure.
ƒ With the head nut removed, loosen the mantle by striking it on the
bottom with the ram used on the head nut. Heat the lower portion
of the lower mantle if necessary.
ƒ Weld lugs to the mantle and lift it off the core.

7) CORE – REMOVAL
ƒ Place the main shaft and core assembly in a vertical position in its
repair pit or stand. Support the weight of the assembly on the
bottom of the main shaft, not on the core.

ƒ Place blocking and wedges between the eccentric journal of the


main shaft and the repair pit walls or stand members to support it
vertically.
ƒ Remove the threaded shaft sleeve and the Teflon split seal rings
from the main shaft.
ƒ Weld lugs to the core and lift it from the main shaft. Inspect the fit
at the inside bottom of the core.
ƒ If the core is not loose on the main shaft it is necessary to apply
heat to the core as follows:
9 Raise the core and the main shaft until the bottom of the
main shaft, or main shaft wearing ring, is 3/8” to 1 / 2” (10 to
12 mm) from the bottom of the pit or stand.
9 Place blocking and wedges between the eccentric journal of
the main shaft and the pit walls or stand to support it
vertically but not prevent the main shaft from moving
vertically.
9 Support the weight of the main shaft and the core from the
bottom of the core.
9 Heat the outside of the core in the area where the core fits
onto the main shaft until the core expands sufficiently and
the main shaft “drops out” of the core.

8) DUST BONNET ASSEMBLY – REMOVAL (SEE FIGURE 6.4.1.3)


ƒ Remove the bolts that attach the Dust Bonnet Assembly to the
Bottom Shell taking care not to remove the clamp plate bolts.
ƒ Attach shackles to the lifting holes provided on the inside of the
dust bonnet.

14) HYDRAULIC PISTON ASSEMBLY – REMOVAL


(SEE FIGURE 6.4.1.5)
ƒ Thread piston removal tool into through
center wearing ring into the top of the piston
until fully engaged.
ƒ Ensure that all hydraulic lines have been
drained as suction could inhibit removal.
ƒ Use piston removal tool to slowly lift the
piston out of the crusher.
ƒ Do not allow the assembly to swing during
lift.
ƒ Place piston assembly on blocking and
protect entire assembly from the elements.

15) CENTER WEARING RING – REMOVAL (SEE


FIGURE 6.4.1.5)
ƒ The center wearing ring removal is accomplished by
simply lifting out the ring by using eye bolts in

ƒ Place the counter shaft assembly in a horizontal position and
remove the retaining ring from the pinion end of the counter shaft.
ƒ Using a gear puller, pull the pinion from the counter shaft. A
hydraulic assisted gear puller is recommended.
ƒ Due to the geometry of the pinion and the counter shaft housing,
the jaws of the puller may not fit between the pinion and the counter
shaft housing. In this case, first remove the counter shaft with the
pinion mounted from the counter shaft housing following the
instructions in the following Section 6.7.1.22 (counter shaft

Gyratory Crusher
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

ƒ When the Crusher is installed, areas about the Crusher mounting flange
and about the Crusher countershaft must be sealed up to prevent the
escape of fugitive rock dust. The area about and between the feed chute
and the feed hopper of the Crusher should also be sealed. FLSmidth
Minerals Service Technicians will be present during the installation of the
Crusher to assist the customer or the customer’s agent in how to best seal
up these areas.

ƒ Often the true seriousness of a dust control problem cannot be determined


until after the Crusher has been in operation for a short period of time.
Therefore, it is often necessary to over design for dust control system to
insure proper control at the onset of crushing.

ƒ Working in or near the discharge area of the Crusher may agitate (kick-up)
breathable dust.

ƒ The epoxy based backing compound used with the “TSU” Gyratory
Crusher has a caustic agent that is both caustic by skin contact and by
breathable fumes. Adequate personal protective equipment and
ventilation is necessary when working with these chemicals.

2.8 - HIGH NOISE LEVELS


The very nature of crushing rock generates high decibel level of noise. The
actual noise generated is determined by the type of rock being crushed, the
amount of energy being put into the rock and the type of structure that the
Crusher is mounted on. Typically, the decibel readings will be found to be in the
85 to 105 dB range. As it is very difficult to abate this noise from the area around
the Crusher, it is often necessary to require the use of noise protection devices
for workers. Following are some concerns:

ƒ The actual noise generated by a “TSU” Gyratory Crusher will have to be


determined by measurement during normal crushing operations. The
customer will then have to determine what personal hearing protection is
required for the worker as well as what time exposure limits may have to
be put in place.

ƒ Lightly coat the core with lubricating oil or a release agent and
place the middle mantle on the core. Place 0.5-inch (12.7-mm)-
thick metal blocks on the top of the lower mantle and place the
middle mantle on these blocks, creating a gap between the middle
and lower mantles.
ƒ Center the middle mantle by equalizing the distance from the core
to the outside surface at the top and bottom of the mantle.
ƒ Seal the gap at the joint between the middle and lower mantles,
filling the gap back to the core.
ƒ Prepare and pour backing material between the mantle and the
core in accordance with the information provided by the backing
material manufacturer.

Allow the epoxy to harden for 18 to 24


hours before proceeding.

ƒ Lightly coat the core with lubricating oil or a release agent and
place the upper mantle on the core. Place 0.5-inch (12.7-mm)-thick
metal blocks on the top of the middle mantle and place the upper
mantle on these blocks, creating a gap between the upper and
middle mantles.
ƒ Center the upper mantle by equalizing the distance between the
core and the outer surface of the bottom of the upper mantle. Also
make certain that the top surface of the upper mantle is at a 90-
degree angle with the main shaft and it will mate squarely with the
head nut.
ƒ Put the head nut on and insert four equally spaced 3-inch (75-mm)
metal blocks to hold it off of the upper mantle top. This will keep
the upper mantle from floating, and keep it centered and square
with the main shaft.
ƒ Seal the gap at the joint between the middle and upper mantles,
filling the gap back to the core.
ƒ Place troughs near the top of the upper mantle to direct backing
material between the upper mantle and the core.
ƒ Prepare and pour backing material between the upper mantle and
the core in accordance with the information provided by the backing
material manufacturer. Do not pour backing material above the top
of the core.

ƒ Tighten the head nut with a slugging (striking) wrench and sledge
hammer.

Allow the epoxy to harden for 18 to 24


hours before proceeding.

ƒ When the backing material has cured, loosen the head nut and
remove the metal blocks and other mantle positioning devices.
ƒ Tighten the head nut assembly again by striking the ears previously
attached to the head nut with a ram suspended from a crane.
ƒ Pin the head nut assembly in two places with provided dowel pins
and weld the pins to the head nut.
ƒ After two days of operation with the new mantle, remove the pins
and re-tighten the nut. Reinsert the pins and weld them to the head
nut.

2) CORE – REPLACEMENT

2.1) CORE CONTACT CHECK


ƒ Contact testing shall be carried out with the Mainshaft and Core
positioned vertically.
ƒ Both components should be at ambient temperature when being
presented for contact test.
ƒ Apply four(4) 50mm(2") wide axial stripes of Prussian Blue to the
tapered bore of the Core, approximately 90 degrees apart.
ƒ Bluing shall be applied lightly and uniformly. Film thickness of
Bluing should not exceed 0.025mm (.001").
ƒ Slowly lower the Core over the Mainshaft. When the Core is
approximately 1" above its natural resting place (the point at which
gravity will cause the mating tapers to make intimate contact), the
top end of the Core is to be centered over the Mainshaft. Utilizing
four wooden wedges, approximately 90 degrees apart, equalize the
clearance between the inside diameter of the Core, and the outside
diameter of the Mainshaft. Once the Core has been centered on
the Mainshaft, drive the wooden wedges in an additional distance
of 30mm(1.25"). This will maintain centrality of the Core when it is
being lowered to its natural resting position.
ƒ Slowly lower the Core onto the Mainshaft until the Core reaches its
natural resting place and its entire weight is suspended by the
tapered fit.

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

ƒ Slowly lift the Core off the Mainshaft. Ensure the core does not
contact the shaft while it is being lifted. Any unwanted contact
between the Core and Mainshaft may result in a non-uniform bluing
transfer to the Mainshaft taper. Verify the length and uniformity of
bluing transferred onto the Mainshaft taper at all four locations.
ƒ Full length tape transfers shall be taken from the Mainshaft taper at
all four locations. Photographs may be taken, for additional
information, or as an expedient means of transmitting results from
remote locations.
ƒ If the measured contact is less than 80%, report the results
immediately to FLS Minerals for disposition.

2.2) CORE ASSEMBLY (AFTER CONTACT CHECK)


ƒ Place the Mainshaft in a vertical position in its repair pit or stand.
Place blocking and/or wedges between the eccentric journal of the
Mainshaft and the stand members to support it vertically.

Care should be taken to ensure that the


shaft is not marred during this procedure.

ƒ Slide the core over the Mainshaft and center it. Tack weld blocks to
the top of the core to maintain equal spacing around the shaft.
Allow room for the core to drop a limited distance.
ƒ Place stands beneath the core to permit the core to drop (slide
downward) when it is set. The drop distance range is 0.220inch
(5.5 mm) minimum, and 0.25inch (6.0 mm) maximum.
ƒ Heat the outside area of the core corresponding to the taper fit with
four large torches (to rapidly heat the core).
ƒ The core will begin to drop to the stands as it expands. When the
core has retained enough heat and is resting on the stands, stop
heating.
ƒ Allow the core to cool to 65°F (18°C) or ambient temperature.
ƒ Prepare and pour backing material to fill the space between the
Mainshaft and the core in accordance with the information provided
by the backing material manufacturer.

2.9 - CRUSHER CONTROL SYSTEM


OPERATING AND SAFETY INTERLOCKS
The “TSU” Gyratory Crusher may come with a PLC System that monitors the
vital signs of the Crusher as well as assists in operating the Crusher within the
design limitations. Altering or isolating (jumper out) the interlocks of this system
not only affects the mechanical well being of the Crusher, it can seriously effect
the safety of the workers about the Crusher.

ƒ Never make changes to the Control System without prior approval of


FLSmidth Minerals.

ƒ If it becomes necessary to make temporary changes to the Control


System and FLSmidth Minerals cannot be contacted in a timely manner,
insure that approval has been provided by local mine operational and
safety management and that any changes are well documented.

2.10 - GENERAL SAFETY CONCERNS


Tools used to maintain the “TSU” Gyratory Crusher: Many components that
make up assemblies of the “TSU” Gyratory Crusher are assembled with
interference fits. Therefore maintenance workers will be required to use open
flame and/or cryogenic agents in the installation and removal of various parts.
Following is a list of safety concerns:

ƒ Open flames present obvious safety concerns for the workers. Because
some parts have to be heated rapidly and thoroughly, it is important that
more than one heating torch is used at the same time (two torches, two
workers). It is imperative that workers be trained in the safe use of open
flame heating devices.

ƒ Liquid nitrogen and dry ice are commonly used to chill components for
assembly. Working with cryogenics presents unique safety hazards and
workers must be trained in the safe use of these agents and appropriate
personal protective equipment.

ƒ Air impact tools are frequently used for assembly and disassembly work.
Because of the size of the fasteners, these tools are frequently large and
cumbersome. Workers need to be trained in the proper use of these
compressed air tools. Workers are to be trained in the standard safety
practices with respect to the use of compressed air and compressed air
tools.

ƒ The air impact tool is frequently used to turn jacking bolts that remove
interference fit parts. In this case, it is important the part be removed as
rapidly as possible, before heat can soak into the mating part. It is
advisable that more than one person be assigned to a tool, so that the tool
can be utilized without excessive fatigue to an individual worker.

ƒ Some fasteners used in the “TSU” Gyratory Crusher require high torque
values to establish proper pre-load. These high torque values can require
the use of torque multipliers. Workers need to be trained in the safe
utilization of these tools.

ƒ Please refer to the Maintenance Section of this Instruction Manual for


specific cautions with respect to welding to manganese and high chrome
white iron wear materials.

ƒ Under no circumstances should any welding be done on the actual cast


components of the Crusher. Though such welding does not present any
particular safety hazard, the high carbon steel alloy of these castings can
be seriously compromised by improper welding techniques. It is imperative
that FLSmidth Minerals be contacted before any such welding is
undertaken.

Though housekeeping concerns have been mentioned with respect to Slip and
Trip Hazards above, it is still important to reiterate this concern:

ƒ Always correct the causes of spillage as they occur and clean up spillage
as soon as possible.

ƒ Clean up all oil spills or other types of spills that would result in slip
hazards.

ƒ Pick up and put away tools, cable rigging, wash down water hoses, air
pressure hoses and acetylene torch equipment as immediately after they
are used.

As working with the “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher presents many unique
safety issues as described above, it is very important that workers receive proper
hazard awareness training relating to these issues. Following are topics of job
specific training:

ƒ All workers should become familiar with the general operation and
maintenance of the Crusher.

7.500758 S-9

Gyratory Crusher
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

ƒ Workers must be made aware of the specific safety hazards related to


working about the Crusher.

ƒ Workers need to be trained in the safe use of tools and materials used in
the maintenance and operation of the Crusher.

As mentioned at the onset, this Section on Safety is only to be utilized as a guide


to assist the customer in developing there own safety program with respect to
working on and about the Type “TS” and “TSU” Gyratory Crusher. All general
site safety instructions apply to a Gyratory Crusher. Any conflicts within the
instructions are to be discussed with the site manager. Any questions and

3.1 - INTRODUCTION
This Section provides information for the proper assembly and installation of the
various components that make up a “TS” or “TSU” Gyratory Crusher. Due to the size
and weight of these components, several pieces will arrive as pre-assembled
components (sub-assemblies); such as, Countershaft, Eccentric, and Hydraulic
Bottom. FLSmidth highly recommends that this manual, as well as the Parts List, be
read before completing the assembly of the Crusher or carrying out any maintenance
on the Crusher.

The following information is provided in a separate package labeled “Drawings and


Data”:
ƒ Weights
ƒ Clearances and Crusher template

3.2 - RECIEPT OF MATERIAL


A complete inspection is recommended as soon as possible following delivery of the
Crusher. Look for any damage that might have occurred during transit. Also verify that
all “shipped loose” items listed on the Bill of Lading, Freight Bill or Manifest are
accounted for. Immediately notify the carrier and FLSmidth of any damage or
shortages.

3.3 - INDOOR STORAGE


When necessary, indoor storage of components must be done with the utmost of care
to ensure that no damage is done to any components during the storage period.

While in storage, the equipment must be inspected every two weeks. At this time, rust
must be removed and paint or rust preventive coatings replaced as required.
All protective materials such as waterproof paper, wood, and rust preventive coatings
must be repaired or replaced if these items have been damaged during shipment.

7.500759 I-3

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

ƒ Soleplates.
ƒ Bottom shell bores and flanges.
ƒ Bottom plate surfaces.
Rust formation on these surfaces may cause irreparable damage.

These components may be stored outside; however, they must be protected from the
elements. All items stored outside must be placed on appropriate pads and blocking
to prevent these components from sinking into the mud. These pads and blocking
should be inspected at frequent intervals and necessary corrective action must be
undertaken to prevent damage to stored components.

3.5 - FOUNDATION
The crusher is to be erected upon a foundation that must be designed to support the
weight of the equipment and to withstand the loads occurring during operation.

The foundation should include personnel access to the underside of the crusher for
installation and maintenance.
ƒ Leave the top of the foundation rough to provide anchorage for grout.
ƒ The foundation bolts should be set in sleeves and should be checked against
certified drawings for location.
ƒ Make certain that allowance is made for shims, grout, the crusher base, and
mounting hardware when setting the bolts.
ƒ Provisions must also be made for supporting items such as drive units, the
lubrication/hydraulic pumping unit, oil coolers, grease lubrication system, and
the dust seal blower if supplied.

3.6 - INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS


Normal installation operations include the correction of misfits by straightening,
shimming, chipping, cutting, or grinding for proper fit of elements. Misfits which cannot
be corrected by the foregoing means or which require major changes in equipment
configuration are to be reported immediately to FLSmidth for correction of misfits or to
approve the most efficient and economic method of correction to be implemented.

The installation of the crusher is to be made in accordance with the parts list and
drawings provided in Section 7 of this instruction manual. They define the physical
arrangements, pertinent dimensions, interconnections, loads, and other
characteristics, data, and information needed for the erection and installation of all
components supplied.

7.500759 I-5
Rev. 1
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

While there is a general, overall sequence of installation which will be followed, there
are many details for which the sequence will be determined by conditions existing at
the site.

An Erection Record Book should be made available to compile all progress made,
problems encountered, and measurements obtained during the different installation
phases of each crusher. The installation checklist of this instruction manual is to be
completed and transmitted to the FLSmidth project manager. This information is
valuable for comparing conditions during the installation and later during production,
and for helping identify causes of potential problems for easier and lasting solutions.

The crusher is shipped in major subassemblies whose final assembly must be


completed on site. The installation of these subassemblies, and those assembled on
site, must be installed in accordance with the drawings provided in this manual, and
the installation data referenced in this section of the manual. These documents
contain information specific to this crusher. They define the physical arrangements,
pertinent dimensions, loads, and other characteristics, data, and information needed in
the erection and installation of all components supplied. Carefully observe match
marking of mating components during installation.

It is very important to know that any field modification to components can and will
nullify the warranty, unless authorized by FLSmidth.

3.7 - HYDRAULIC SUPPORT RING INSTALLATION


Install studs in the bottom shell in the locations shown in the bottom shell assembly
drawing and as indicated on the parts list. Quantity and arrangement of the studs and
pins may vary.

It is critical that the correct torque level is


achieved for these fasteners as they support
all the vertical loads from the mainshaft

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

2. Place the Large O-ring on the outside diameter of the housing. Carefully
move it up to the juncture of the OD and the flange.

Care must be taken not to nick or rip the O-


ring. To facilitate installation a light coating
of oil is recommended on the housing while
sliding it in place.

3. Place a thin bead of RTV silicone on the mounting surface close to the ID if
the opening in the cylinder.
4. Use a guide rod or other means to ensure the cylinder is lowered in place so
the guide pin is located in the hole on the cylinder housing. Using lifting
eyes and an overhead crane lower the hydraulic cylinder housing
5. Once the Cylinder housing is in place tighten the bolts using a star pattern
to the torque listed on the assembly drawing.

3.9 – HYDRAULIC CYLINDER PISTON INSTALLATION


The crusher is designed so the piston can be installed from above using a special
installation. This can be done prior to bottom shell installation if desired for easy
access.
1. Thoroughly clean the inner surface of the hydraulic cylinder housing.
2. Carefully lubricate the surfaces to aid in installation.
3. Inspect the piston center for obstructions. This is the oil port for the crusher
bottom lubrication.
4. Place the cleaned and oiled center wearing ring on the piston wear ring
5. Thread the special tool supplied into the piston through the lubrication port
in the center. This will capture the center wear for safe handling.
6. Carefully lower the piston into the housing from above. Care must be taken
to properly align it so it does not cock and seize at installation.

3.10 BOTTOM SHELL INSTALLATION


The crusher is provided in one, two, or three sections as determined by the crusher
size and transportation restrictions.
1. Thoroughly clean the top surface of the foundation and the bottom surface
of the bottom shell to remove all dirt, grease, oil, and paint.
2. Place steel shims typically 2 inches x 2 inches x 2 inches (50 mm x 50 mm x
50 mm) in size on the foundation at both sides of each foundation bolt.

7.500759 I-8
Rev. 1
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

3. Check that the shim stacks are nearly level. Add shims as required. The
shim stacks must be high enough to provide room for level adjustment and
grout.
4. Lower the bottom shell onto the shims.
5. Tighten the nuts on the foundation bolts evenly in a cross pattern.
6. Verify the level of the bottom shell.

3.11 - BOTTOM SHELL GROUTING


Use a non-shrink epoxy grout suitable for use on heavy operating equipment. The
loads indicated on the foundation drawing are used to select the correct grout. It is the
responsibility of the client to select the grout but FLSmidth has recommended
suppliers to assist in this selection.
Apply the grout according to the grout manufacturer’s directions.

Care must be taken to ensure full contact


between the grout and the underside of the
bottom shell.

3.12 - BOTTOM SHELL LINERS INSTALLATION


After the grout has become sufficiently strong, according to the grout manufacturer’s
recommendations, install the:
1. Rib Liners
2. Outer Bottom Shell Liners
3. Countershaft Liners
4. Rib Shields

Liners and the components they mount on are


composed of castings. As such they have as
cast surfaces that may differ from the design
dimension due to casting tolerance. Thus it is
normal for some field fit-up, trimming, and
shimming

and to prevent dirt and debris from falling into the eccentric.

3.17 – MIDDLE SHELL INSTALLATION


1. Clean the mating flanges of the bottom shell and middle shell and remove
any upsets on the flange contact surfaces.
2. Coat the mating surfaces of the bottom shell upper flange and the middle
shell lower flange with oil.
3. Check the Middle Shell Weight, C.G., and Handling Drawing in Section 7 of
this manual to determine if special orientation of the shell is required.
4. Lower the shell into position, carefully aligning the holes of the bolts with the
bottom shell. The fit between the shells is a taper fit. Lower the middle
shell evenly to prevent cocking the shell in the fit. As the middle shell
approaches contact on the taper fit, level the shell.
5. Install the shell bolts and nuts and tighten the nuts evenly to prevent cocking
the middle shell. Tighten the nuts until the flanges are in contact for 360 °.
6. After the flanges are in contact, torque the nuts to the value given in the

6. After the flanges are in contact, torque the nuts to the value given in the Top
Shell Assembly drawing in Section 7 of this manual.

3.19 – CONCAVE RING SEGMENT INSTALLATION


1. The concave ring segments support the lower row of the concave assembly
during installation. The segments consisting of four arcs are placed into a
recess of the shell and are welded to form a continuous ring. Note that the
ends of each segment are chamfered for welding per the Middle Shell
Assembly drawing found in Section 7.
2. Grind the welds so the welding beads do not protrude above the surface of
the ring. The rings are made from mild steel.

3.20 – CONCAVE INSTALLATION

As a result of crushing, the face of manganese concaves can


cold work and grow (peen). Space must be provided between
adjacent concaves in all rows and between adjacent rows of
concaves for this growth. When positioning the concaves,
distribute the vertical space between adjacent concaves as
evenly as practical.
Note: Alloy concaves do not cold work and consequently the
crushing surface does not grow (peen).

1. To determine the horizontal space to be left between each row of concaves,


stack one concave from each row up the side of the shell as shown in
Figure 3.20.1. Notice that the concaves for the upper row have lugs that
must fit into the machined groove in the top shell. Measure the space
between the top of the lug and the top of the groove in the top shell. This
space must be distributed as evenly as practical between the rows of
concaves. The top of the lug in the upper concave must contact the top of
the groove in the shell.
2. Power brush the surfaces of the concaves and the mating portion of the
shell bore to remove dirt, grease, oil, and protective coatings. Also, remove
any upsets on these surfaces.
3. After a row of concaves has been installed, an epoxy backing material is
poured between the row of concaves and the crusher shell.
7.500759 I - 20
Rev. 1
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

4. The epoxy is intended to function as a material to fill the space between the
outside surface of the concaves and the inside surface of the shell. This
distributes the crushing forces evenly from the inside of the concaves
through the backing material and to the shell and prevents flexing of the
concaves.
5. Each concave has half of a tapered slot at the top of each vertical side.
When the concaves are installed in the crusher, the tapered slots in two
adjacent concaves form one complete slot.
6. Position the concaves in each row to equalize the vertical joints and shim
the concave pads if required.
7. Place the tapered pin in the tapered slot between adjacent concaves.
Lightly tap these pins in place to lock the concave in position. The top of the
tapered pins may sit above or below the top of the concaves due to
manufacturing practices and tolerances. Use caution when driving the
tapered pins between the adjacent concaves to maintain the equalized
spacing of the vertical joints.
8. Cut off the portion of the tapered pins extending above the top of the
concaves.
9. Seal the joints as shown in Figure 3.20.1. Be careful not to completely fill
the space between concaves.
10. The vertical space between adjacent concaves and the horizontal space
between rows of concaves must be partially filled with backing material. The
backing material in the vertical spaces between adjacent concaves makes
each row of concaves a complete ring. The backing material in the
horizontal spaces between rows of concaves makes the concaves complete
from the top shell lug groove to the concave ring segment. With this
arrangement the concaves are locked in position and the movement of
individual concaves is prevented.
11. Pour backing material between the shell and the concaves in accordance
with the information provided by the backing material manufacturer.
12. Most backing material is poured in the field, using the following basic
procedures that must be supplemented on site to include additional detail
and to adjust for local conditions.
13. Gaps and joints must be sealed to prevent leakage during pouring.

14. Complete mixing of the two-part compound is very necessary. Be sure to


mix thoroughly to the bottom of the container. The mixture can set very fast
in the container. As soon as the two parts are mixed, it must be used.
15. Repeat the procedure for each row of concaves, also filling the horizontal
spaces between rows with backing material. Stagger all vertical spaces as
shown in Figure 3.20.1.
16. The Upper Concaves must be installed so that the top of the lug in the
upper concave must contact the top of the groove in the top shell as shown
in Figure 3.20.1. Additionally the horizontal engagement ( overlap ) of the
concave lug into the shell groove must be at least 10mm as illustrated in
Figure 3.20.1. If engagement is less than 10mm, grind material off back of
concave support pads to increase engagement accordingly.

3.21 – SPIDER POCKETS, BACKING MATERIAL INSTALLATION


1. Clean the spider pockets and the mating ends of the spider arms. Place
shims on the machined ledge at the open side of each pocket to keep the
spider elevated slightly, so that subsequently there will be room to draw the
spider down and set it firmly in its taper fit. Refer to Figure 3.21.1. Use the
shim thickness as specified in Table 3.21.1.

the bushing.
2. Place the spider seal onto the bottom of the spider journal of the main shaft.
3. Lift the spider and place it over the main shaft and into the top shell spider
pockets. Leveling the spider during lifting minimizes the chance of binding
in the spider pockets. The spider is lowered into position using care as the
journal of the main shaft enters the bushing and the ends enter the pockets.
Do not let it bind in the pockets. Make sure that the spider grease hose
enters in the correct hole in the top shell.
4. Install the spider bolts and the torque nuts. The procedure to tighten the
torque nuts is as follows:
4.1. Place the washers and nuts on the bolts. Thread the nuts onto the
bolts by hand until firmly in place against the washers and then back
the nut off two turns.
4.2. Tighten the torsion bolts on each of the nuts with a torque wrench to
the torque listed on the Spider Assembly Drawing in Section 7 of this

The purpose of commissioning is to ensure that all the crusher systems and
associated equipment have been constructed according to their design.
Commissioning includes preoperational testing and initial run-in and operation of
the crusher without feed. Commissioning begins in accordance with the overall
project schedule and commences during the construction phase.
Preoperational testing activities include:
9 Cleaning and flushing of equipment.
9 Testing of controls and instrumentation.
9 Preliminary system run-in performance tests and inspections.
9 Installation of temporary facilities required to perform the tests and run-in.
9 Scheduling and coordination of participating vendors and their associated
activities.

Prior to starting the crusher for repositioning the main shaft, inspection, or
testing, a thorough inspection must be made of the immediate area. This is done
to make sure that there is no potential for personal injury or equipment damage
as a result of moving the crusher main shaft and mantle.
The areas that must be visually inspected include the exterior of the crusher
shell, the drive system, and the interior of the crusher. The MCC, hydraulic

4.7 - NO-LOAD COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES


There are several phases in placing a new crusher into operation. There is an
initial running-in period when the crusher is operated under no-load conditions for
an eight-hour period. This is followed by a one-hour operating period with a
partial feed load. Upon satisfactory completion of this operation, the crusher is
prepared for normal, full-load service by operating at 50 percent feed load for six
to eight hours. After satisfactory operation at this feed rate, the load is gradually
increased to 100 percent of design feed load over a period of 40 hours.

When the crusher is first started, it must contain no ore. The purpose of the
running-in test is to allow the crusher to bed-in and run in the bearings and gears
to check their operation closely.

4.7.1 Ensure that these conditions are met as part of No-Load


commission Pre-check:
4.7.1.1 - The crusher main shaft has been raised 2 inches (50 mm)
with the hydraulic adjustment system.
4.7.1.2 - The lubricating oil is at operating temperature, an oil pump
has been started, and oil is circulating through the
crusher. Oil flow has been verified by the observation of a
full flow of oil to the sump tank (reservoir) on the lube skid.
7.500760 C-8
Rev. 0
GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

4.7.1.3 - The correct volume of oil is flowing to the eccentric, pinion,


and countershaft and has been verified.
4.7.1.4 - The spider lubrication system is operational.
4.7.1.5 - The countershaft extension is secure and its coupling
covers are in place.
4.7.1.6 - The motor lockout locks have been removed at the motor
control center (MCC).
4.7.2 - Ensure all safety interlocks have been tested and are functional
prior to starting the crusher and its auxiliary equipment.
4.7.3 - To prevent the main shaft from rotating too rapidly during the
breaking-in period, insert two grader size tires into the crushing
chamber with steel cables. Place them 180° apart.
4.7.3.1 - The normal motion of the main shaft is gyratory (the
bottom end of the shaft moves in a circle while the top is
stationary). In some cases, due to the viscosity of the oil
between the shaft and the eccentric, there is a tendency
for the idle running main shaft to rotate or spin in addition
to gyrating. The spinning is detrimental during the
running-in period. The grader tires are inserted into the
crusher to provide just enough friction to keep the shaft
from spinning. They will move from their original positions
as the crusher is running.

THE CRUSHER SHOULD NEVER OPERATE MORE THAN


15 MINUTES WITHOUT LOAD OR TIRES.

4.7.4 - Start the crusher from the local control panel or from the distributed
control system (DCS).
4.7.5 - While the crusher in operation, look for oil leakage from the oil inlet
and return pipe lines.
4.7.6 - Check the countershaft bearing temperature. No discomfort should
be felt when a bare hand is placed on the countershaft housing.
Confirm suspected excessive temperatures through the counter
shaft bearing temperature detectors and with a portable thermal
detector.

4.7.7 - Ensure that the oil cooling system is operating properly. Check
that the temperature and pressure gauges operating on the
pumping unit are steady and operating correctly.
4.7.8 - Ensure that the spider bushing lubrication system is functioning
properly.
4.7.9 - Test the hydraulic support and adjustment systems.
4.7.10 - At 15-minute intervals record the data as shown on the data sheet
in Section 4.10 of this manual. Continue recording these readings
until the oil temperature remains constant for one hour and then
continue the readings at 1 hour intervals throughout the 8 hour
test period.
4.7.11 - Observe the drive motor winding and bearing temperatures with
the motor monitoring instruments (if purchased).
4.7.12 - At the end of the eight-hour running-in period stop the drive motor
and record the time it takes for the crusher to stop (run down).
Stop the lubrication systems and the hydraulic adjustment
system.
4.7.13 - Remove the return screen from the lube oil skid reservoir. Inspect
its contents and record observations, and clean the screen with
solvent. Install the screen and secure it. It is normal to find a
small amount of foreign material in the screen basket due to the
bedding-in process and dislodged particles not removed by
flushing.
4.7.14 - Remove the tires from the crushing chamber.
4.7.15 - Ensure that the shell bolts, spider bolts, and foundation bolts are
tight.
4.7.16 - Ensure that the crusher drive motor foundation bolts are tight.
4.7.17 - Prepare the crusher for initial start-up with feed.

4.8 - FULL LOAD COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES


The crusher is to be ran for 1 hour with a 50 percent feed load. (It is important to
ensure that the feed material is dry and does not contain fines or lumps larger
than two-thirds of the feed opening.) The feed is stopped and the crusher is
cleared (crushed out) and stopped. The crusher is inspected and, if all is
satisfactory, started again at a feed rate of 50 percent of capacity. The crusher is
run for eight hours at a 50 percent feed rate. If the crusher is within operating and
design specifications, the crusher is run for 40 hours while gradually increasing
feed rate to full design capacity.

4.8.10 - Observe the drive motor winding and bearing temperatures with
the motor monitoring instruments (if purchased).
4.8.11 - At the end of the eight-hour 50 percent load period, stop the feed
and allow the crusher to empty. When the crusher is empty of
ore, stop the drive motor and record the time it takes for the
crusher to stop (run down). The lubrication systems and the
hydraulic adjustment system remain in operation if they were
operating properly.
4.8.12 - Ensure that the shell bolts, spider bolts, and foundation bolts are
tight. Tighten any loose bolts and nuts as required.
4.8.13 - Ensure that the crusher drive motor foundation bolts are tight.
Tighten any loose bolts and nuts as required.
4.8.14 - When all checks, inspections, and adjustments have been
completed, the crusher is started and feed introduced at a 50
percent rate. During the following 40 hours, the feed rate is
gradually increased to 100 percent of design capacity.
4.8.15 - Set the adjustment system relief valve while the crusher is
operating under a normal full crushing load. Adjust the relief
valve until the normal load causes it to open and allows the main
shaft to descend, then set it higher so that it will hold under the
normal load peaks. Several adjustments may be necessary to
attain a satisfactory setting. The required setting of the relief
valve may vary as ore is extracted from different locations in the
mine or pit due to the hardness of the ore. The purpose of the
relief valve is to protect the crusher from uncrushable objects. If
an object gets caught in the crusher, the valve opens and the
main shaft descends to discharge the uncrushable object.
RECORD THE RELIEF VALVE SETTING AT THIS INITIAL
SETTING AND EVERY TIME IT IS CHANGED.
4.8.16 - During the following 40 hours, repeat all checks and inspections
made during the previous eight hours of operation.

1.1 - INTRODUCTION
We at FLSmidth would like to congratulate you on the purchase of your new “TS”
or “TSU” Gyratory Crusher. With the proper maintenance and care, it will serve
your plant for many years. This section of the manual addresses the procedures
and tools you need to efficiently and quickly obtain information, parts pricing and
availability, technical assistance, emergency trouble shooting service, and other
features of FLSmidth extensive background and knowledge.

The ultimate goal of the crushing process is to reduce the size of the ore
received from the mine (known as run-of-mine or ROM ore). The crushing
process is the first step in comminution. Comminution is the process of
progressively reducing ore to finer sizes. Further reduction occurs in the
downstream grinding plant. The crusher breaks down ROM material and delivers
it to a surge pocket located beneath the crusher. The crushing circuit is designed
to be an open-circuit crushing system (without any screening and recycling of
oversize particles). The crushed ore is withdrawn from the surge pocket for
further treatment in the grinding operation. The operator regulates ore dumping
to maintain the proper levels in the crusher bowl and surge pocket beneath the
crusher.

Before proceeding, we would like to stress the importance of fully reading and
understanding this manual to ensure that you get the most out of your Gyratory
Crusher.

1.2 - EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION


The size of the crusher and the size of the drive motor are listed on the “Erection
and Maintenance Data Sheet” in the Maintenance section of this manual.

The first number in the size designation is the measurement of the crusher feed
opening. The second number in the size designation is the measurement at the
widest diameter at the bottom of the lower mantle. Therefore, a 1400 x 2100
gyratory crushers has a 1400mm [55”] feed opening and a maximum mantle
diameter of 2100mm [83”].

100 percent of the feed to the crusher should be smaller than 90 percent of the
radial opening size. This size distribution reduces the possibility of blocking the
crusher openings.

The crusher body consists of a cast-steel frame that includes, in its lower part,
the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is made up of the eccentric
(which provides the gyratory movement of the main shaft and mantle), the gear,
and the countershaft assembly (which includes the pinion and its shaft). The

5.1 - PRE-OPERATIONAL INSPECTION


A preoperational inspection of all major and auxiliary equipment is required
whenever any portion of the primary crusher is started up from a complete
shutdown.

The primary crusher requires the following utilities in order to start up and be
operated:
1) Electrical power.
2) Air supply for dust seal

In addition to the start-up procedures specified on the following pages, portions


of the primary crusher may be started after one or more equipment items have
been down for maintenance. In this case, perform the appropriate preoperational
inspection for each equipment item worked on.

When the preoperational inspection is complete, the primary crusher equipment


can be restarted according to the appropriate start-up procedure, depending on
the nature of the maintenance that was performed.

Any personnel working in the area near the primary crusher equipment being
started must be warned of the impending start-up. The primary crusher
equipment must not be started until the downstream circuits are prepared to
accept feed. Primary crusher service and utility equipment must be running
before starting the process equipment.

The general starting sequence is:


1) Primary crusher lubrication systems
2) Primary crusher hydraulic system
3) Downstream equipment
4) Primary crusher drive motor - (the spider lubrication system should be
interlocked to start and stop as the crusher drive motor starts and stops)

5.2 - START-UP FROM COMPLETE SHUTDOWN


Operators must inspect the primary crushing area visually before start-up from a
complete shutdown. This inspection determines whether activities, such as
maintenance tasks, must be performed before the start-up begins. If the primary
crusher was down for maintenance or any other activities that required the
primary crusher discharge pocket to be completely emptied, fine ore material
must be transported and dumped into the primary crusher.

GYRATORY CRUSHER
TYPE “TS” & “TSU”

Ensure that all electrical disconnects for the primary crusher and all ancillary
equipment are closed (switched on). All lockout devices should be removed
except for equipment undergoing maintenance. Visually inspect the primary
crusher chamber. Ensure there are no loose or missing liners. Check the spider
assembly for worn, damaged, or missing wear plates.

Prior to starting the primary crusher, ensure that the mantle height is correct and
within current operating limits. The mantle height should be at least 2 inches (50
mm) above the fully down position. This allows room to move the mantle both up
and down.
1) Initiate the start of the primary crusher discharge conveyor.
2) Initiate the start of primary crusher.

5.3 - START-UP FROM STANDBY SHUTDOWN


The start-up actions required for a start-up from a standby shutdown are
essentially the same as those required for a start-up from a complete shutdown.
However, during a start-up from a standby shutdown, the auxiliary crushing
equipment (lubrication systems and hydraulic system) is operating. The start-up
assumes that the primary crusher was shut down in a controlled manner.
1) Prior to starting the primary crusher, ensure that the mantle height is
correct and within current operating limits. The mantle height should be at
least 2 inches (50 mm) above the fully down position. This allows room to
move the mantle both up and down.
2) Initiate the start of the primary crusher discharge conveyor.
3) Determine the time elapsed since the last primary crusher start.
Excessive restarts in a short period of time can damage the crusher
motor.
4) If the elapsed time is sufficient, initiate the start of primary crusher.

5.4 - START-UP FROM EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN


The procedures for starting up from an emergency shutdown differ from those
after controlled shutdowns. In an emergency shutdown, the primary crusher
shuts down under load and retains all the ore that was inside when it shut down.
The primary crusher lubrication systems and hydraulic system continue to run
unless all or part of the system was involved in the emergency.
1) If an equipment fault caused the shutdown, visually inspect the equipment
that caused the shutdown and ensure that the cause has been cleared.
2) If a process-upset condition caused the shutdown, proceed with the start-
up when the upset condition is corrected.
3) If necessary, restart the hydraulic and lubrication systems.

4) If ore remains in the crusher, it may be necessary to clear the crusher


before starting the crusher. Lowering the mantle reduces the load on the
motor during the subsequent start-up. Failure to do so can result in failure
of the crusher motor.
5) Proceed with the crusher start-up following the procedures in Section 5.3,
“Start-Up From Standby Shutdown”.

5.5 - START-UP FROM POWER FAILURE


This procedure is based on the assumption that the primary crushing system was
operating normally when the power failure occurred, and that the crusher
discharge conveyor was loaded. If the crusher was not loaded when the power
failure occurred, start the primary crushing system as if it were a standby
shutdown (refer to Section 5.3, “Start-Up From Standby Shutdown”). After the
cause of the power failure has been determined and the condition corrected, the
start-up is essentially the same as that from a complete/standby shutdown.
1) Ensure that the cause of the power failure has been corrected and all
power systems have been restored.
2) Ensure that there is no resulting damage to equipment.
3) Ensure that all motor disconnects have been reset. Lowering the mantle
reduces the load on the motor during the subsequent start-up. Failure to
do so can result in failure of the crusher motor.
4) If the crusher was loaded at the time the power failure occurred, the
crusher must be cleared to restart. Once the crusher has been cleared,
start the primary crushing system as if it was a complete shutdown (refer
to Section 5.2, “Start-Up From Complete Shutdown”).

5.6 – SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES


There are two primary objectives of the shutdown procedure: to secure
equipment so damage is prevented and to make start-up efficient and timely.
After a complete shutdown, equipment should be inspected thoroughly and a list
of maintenance and repair items prepared. After an emergency shutdown, a
visual inspection of the equipment is required before start-up.
This section contains procedures for shutting down the crushing equipment.
These procedures have been divided into the following subsections:
5.6.1 - COMPLETE SHUTDOWN
5.6.2 - STANDBY SHUTDOWN
5.6.3 - EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
5.6.4 - POWER FAILURE

All shutdown functions are controlled from the control console in the crusher
control room.

5.6.1 – COMPLETE SHUTDOWN


A complete shutdown is generally defined as a shutdown that will last for
more than 24 hours or a shutdown of such duration that the crusher
lubrication oil and hydraulic systems are shut down. The crusher
lubrication system and hydraulic system shutdowns are included at the
end of this procedure.
1) Notify the mine or haul truck dispatch that the crusher is shutting
down and no more ore may be dumped into the crusher.
2) Allow the crusher to operate until all material in the dump pocket
and crusher has been crushed and passed into the crusher
discharge pocket.
3) If any rocks remain that are bridging the crusher opening, or that
are plugging the crusher chamber, they should be broken with the
rock breaker or removed with the rock hook.
4) Shut down the primary crusher drive motor.
5) If the shutdown will be for an extended period of time (2 hours is
the usual time), shut down the auxiliary equipment. Ensure that
both the hydraulic system pump(s) and the Lubrication system
pumps have been shut down. Unless it is necessary to remove
power from the lubrication system and the hydraulic adjustment
system, ensure that the system power supply remains energized
and that the electric reservoir heaters continue to operate. This will
ensure a timely start-up later on.

5.6.2 – STANDBY SHUTDOWN


A standby shutdown occurs when the crusher is expected to remain shut
down for a short period of time (less than 2 hours is the usual time).
Generally, the lubrication systems and hydraulic system are not shut
down.
1) Notify the mine or haul truck dispatch that the crusher is shutting
down and no more ore may be dumped into the crusher.
2) Allow the crusher to operate until all material in the dump pocket
and crusher has been crushed and passed into the crusher
discharge pocket.
3) If any rocks remain that are bridging the crusher opening, or that
are plugging the crusher chamber, they should be broken with the
rock breaker or removed with the rock hook.
4) Shut down the primary crusher drive motor. Do not shut down the
crusher lubrication systems or hydraulic system unless instructed to
do.

5.6.3 – EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN


An emergency shutdown can be caused or initiated by a major equipment
malfunction, by a personnel safety situation, or by certain protective
interlock conditions designed to prevent equipment damage. An
emergency shutdown may be initiated by personnel to prevent, for
example, damage to the crusher discharge conveyor.
If the crusher discharge conveyor shuts down due to an emergency
condition, and it will remain down for a prolonged period of time, the
primary crusher should be manually shut down. However, it should not be
shut down before its present load has been crushed.
The following procedure is based on the assumption that when the
emergency occurred, the primary crushing system was operating
normally. After the cause of the emergency shutdown has been
determined and the condition corrected, the primary crushing system may
be started up according to Section 5.4, “Start-Up From Emergency
Shutdown”.
1) Shut down any equipment as required to isolate the emergency.
2) Determine whether any personnel have been injured as a result of
the emergency and notify emergency personnel and emergency
services.
3) Set any dump pocket signals to the No Dumping mode.
4) Notify the mine or haul truck dispatch that the crusher has shut
down and no more ore may be dumped into the crusher.
5) Determine the cause of the emergency shutdown and correct the
condition. Ensure that all personnel are accounted for before
restarting any equipment.

5.6.4 – POWER FAILURE


When a power failure occurs, the primary crusher may be loaded. In the
event of a power failure, all process equipment stops without further action
on the part of the operator. In the event of a power outage, all process
equipment trips and/or shuts down.

operations. The operator tasks for the primary crusher area are usually as listed
below.
1) ORE RECEIVING AND CRUSHING: ROUTINE OBSERVATIONS
AND INSPECTIONS
2) ADJUSTING CRUSHER OPEN-SIDE SETTING
3) CLEARING THE CRUSHER
4) CLEARING TRAMP MATERIAL JAM

5.7.1 – ORE RECEIVING AND CRUSHING: ROUTINE


OBSERVATIONS AND INSPECTIONS
It is the responsibility of the operator to monitor the operation of the
primary crushing system to ensure that the ore is crushed and
stockpiled in a safe and efficient manner.
The following procedures list the routine inspection requirements of the
operator while the unit is in operation. This observations and
inspections should be carried out several times during the course of
each shift.
1) Ensure that all personnel working in and around the area are
using their personal protective equipment and that they are
obeying all safety rules and regulations.
2) Throughout the primary crushing area, check aisles and
walkways around equipment for debris, maintenance
materials, and other tripping or slipping hazards.
3) When trucks are dumping, observe the loads being dumped
to identify any foreign material or tramp metal that could jam
or damage the crusher.

The primary crusher motor could start without


warning from a remote command. DO NOT
reach behind or remove safety guards during the
inspection.

4) Visually inspect the crusher.


A. When in operation, listen to the crusher motor
operation for unusual sounds and vibrations that
could indicate mechanical problems.

5) Visually inspect the spider lubrication system.
A. Check the spider lubrication system components for
signs of visible damage.
B. Check the grease pump and grease line for signs of
leaks and other damage.
C. Ensure sufficient grease is remaining in the barrel.
Prepare for a change out if necessary.

Components of the lubrication system could start


without warning from a remote command. DO
NOT reach behind or remove safety guards
during the inspection.

6) Visually inspect the primary crusher lubrication


system.
A. Ensure that all safety guards are in place and
securely fastened. Ensure that all safety and warning
signs are clearly visible.

7) Visually inspect the primary crusher hydraulic adjustment


system.

Components of the hydraulic adjustment system


could start without warning from a remote
command. DO NOT reach behind or remove
safety guards during the inspection.

A. Ensure that all safety guards are in place and


securely fastened. Ensure that all safety and warning
signs are clearly visible.
B. When in operation, listen to the system operation for
unusual sounds and vibrations that could indicate
mechanical problems.
C. Check the oil reservoir, accumulator, raise and lower
valves, and all supply and return piping for signs of oil
leaks.
D. Check the hydraulic adjustment system oil level.

8) Visually inspect the crusher discharged product.


A. Evaluate the size of the material and determine
whether an adjustment of the mantle is necessary.

5.7.2 – ADJUSTING CRUSHER OPEN-SIDE SETTING

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:


1) A lead or foil ball approximately 4 inches (100 mm) in
diameter larger than the expected crusher setting
2) Ruler or tape measure
3) Safety harness and safety line
4) Rope
The operator is responsible for setting and adjusting the primary crusher
open-side setting (OSS) to maintain an opening that produces a crushed
ore product of the required size. The closed-side setting is measured;
however, the emphasis is placed on setting the open-side. This is
because of the near-vertical orientation of the crushing chamber of a
gyratory crusher. This orientation allows some ROM to pass through the
open side of the crusher without being crushed. The open side, therefore,
represents the approximate top size of the crusher product.
