Nip Angle: The angle between the fixed and


moving jaws. The nip angle is often referred to as
the "bite" angle as well.
Jaws: The members that perform the crushing are
commonly referred to as jaws. The jaws consist of a
stationary and moving jaw, and depending on the
model each one of these may consist of either 1 or 2
pieces. Different jaw profiles are available for
different applications.
Discharge Setting: The shortest distance between
the bottom of the fixed and moving jaws as
measured at the point where the jaws are at their
closest relationship during their work cycle (i.e. the
closed side setting, or c.s.s.). The method in which
the setting is measured varies depending on the jaw
profile. These differences are explained in detail in
the CRUSHER SETTING section.

CHAPTER 3 - GENERAL CRUSHER INFORMATION

For example, the setting of the C125, equipped with


Quarry jaws, is measured from Top to Top (Type 2).
However, with Standard jaws, the setting is Example
measured from Bottom to Top (Type 1). Crusher: C140
Stroke: 42 mm (15/8” ) (Table 3-4)
Jaw Profile: Quarry (top to top)
IMPORTANT! O.S.S.: 230 mm (9")
The Crusher setting must always be C.S.S.: 230 – 42 = 188 mm (9" – 1 5/8" = 7 3/8")
measured in a straight line at the bottom of
the crushing cavity. Measure the setting
always from the least worn area.

It is easiest to measure the setting when the Crusher


is at rest with a device such as a block of wood of
known dimensions (several blocks should be
available if more than one setting is typically used).
The distance measured this way is larger than the
closed side setting (c.s.s.) because the pitman
always stops at its lowest point. This value is close
(±2mm/±0.08") to the open side setting (o.s.s.). As
previously mentioned, the closed side setting is
calculated by deducting the stroke from the open
side setting (Table 3-4).

that is required to start the Crusher. Other measures
may be taken in accordance with local conditions.
Good inspection habits will do much to insure years
of successful operation of the Crusher. Do not rely
on memory alone to regulate required periodic
maintenance, keep an accurate written record.
Regularly performing pre-start and maintenance
inspections will pay off in the way of eliminating
costly down time and prolonging the life of the
Crusher. Before starting the Crusher, perform the
following operations:

1. Make a final inspection of the Crusher to be


certain that no tools or mechanical
obstructions are on the Crusher, that all
joints and fasteners are properly tightened,
that no leaks are apparent and that there is
no other reason why the Crusher should not
be started.
2. Ensure that the Crusher cavity is empty.

CHAPTER 6 - REPLACEMENT OF WEAR PARTS

6.5.3.1 Two Piece Jaw Assembly

Before installing new or partially worn jaws, make


sure that the jaw and crusher cavity (front frame
and pitman) seating surfaces are clean. The jaws
must have metal to metal contact on all seating
surfaces.
Check the condition of the protection plate (if
equipped). Replace if necessary.

IMPORTANT!
When rotating the jaws, it is a good
practice to check the seating surfaces of
the jaw for straightness (Ref. Figure 6.4).
This is easily accomplished with the use
of a straight edge. The jaw can warp or
deform if the jaw is not properly
tightened, or allowed to wear thin while
crushing.

CAUTION!
DO NOT install jaws into the Crusher if
the jaw seating surfaces are not straight.
Warped or distorted jaws can cause
severe damage to the crusher seating
surfaces. Contact your Metso Minerals
representative for assistance.

NOTE: If the ends of the jaws are bent in, or


distorted, before the jaws can be installed, excess
material must be removed to original shape by
torching.
To install a two piece jaw refer to Figure 6.15,
Figure 6.16, Figure 6.17, and Figure 6.18 and
proceed as follows:

The jaw crusher feed hopper is lined with an


abrasion resistant plate. This liner should be

Abrasion of the material being crushed will dictate
the frequency of replacement.

6.6 PITMAN EYE PROTECTION PLATE


REPLACEMENT

Pitman eye protection plate is designed to protect


the pitman from wear. The wear to the protection
plate is contributed by feed material impact if the
feed material enters the crushing cavity too fast. In
addition, the protection plate will show premature
wear, if it is allowed for the feed material to be
crushed to high in the cavity. To prevent the
protection plate from wearing through, periodic
replacement is necessary.
