1. INSTALLATION DRAWINGS
Following drawings are always provided shortly after the purchase of a Metso Nordberg C-Series Jaw crusher. The
drawings and this instruction should be read through carefully and they should be understood before designing the
installation of the crusher:
Transport drawing(s)
General Arrangement and Clearance Requirements Drawing
Mounting Drawing
Service Weights and Dimensions Drawing
Feed Arrangement Drawing
Flywheel Guard Mounting Drawing
Metso also offers an opportunity to get a 3D-light model (.stp -format) of the purchased crusher with the main options.
The model doesn’t include any specific details but can be helpful when designing the supporting structure for the
crusher.
Nordberg C-Series Jaw crushers have many methods of delivery. For example, they can be delivered with one piece or
dismantled. Dismantled delivery comes handy when transporting the crusher underground or when there is a limited
transporting capacity due to regional/safety regulations or road restrictions. Please contact Metso for further information
of the delivery.
These instructions have been made to help designing the supporting structure for the stationary jaw crusher and
cannot be used as such for the mobile jaw crushers because the behavior of the crushers and the loads differ from each
other.
These instructions don’t overrule the safety regulations regarding to use and maintenance of the machines.
Because of the continuous development of the product, Metso reserves a right to alter the technical specifications
written in these instructions without any advance information.
The installation of the crusher should be performed, in most cases, with the drawings mentioned before. A solid level
foundation of proper composition and durability are required for successful crusher operation.
The foundation of the crusher must be perfectly level unless otherwise mentioned. For understanding the requirement of
the perfectly leveled foundation you can imagine a flat plate onto the four places that the crusher is about to be installed
on. The flat plate must touch every single one of the four places where the crusher installation brackets are about to be
installed and it must be horizontal at the same time. There is a small allowance, ±1 mm / ±0.04 inches, on the
foundation level. Refer to the figure 1. Any differences of height must be corrected or compensated with shims.
Figure 1. The foundation level under all four rubber dampers must be ±1 mm / ±0.04 inches.
Rubber dampers are different in each crusher and therefore it is important to follow the support installation -drawing
when installing the crusher.
The degree of compression of all four rubber dampers must be equal (±1 mm / ±0.04 inches). To accomplish this, all
four supporting points must be perfectly leveled.
Visual check must be performed for all rubber dampers. All edges of the rubber damper should be equally compressed.
Refer to figure 3. Shims may be used to obtain the right degree of compression.
Metso’s C-series crushers are designed to work properly with the dampers. Therefore it is prohibited to mount crusher
rigidly without the rubber dampers.
If the crusher is being mounted on a steel frame, it is always recommended to place vertical supports directly beneath
the crusher’s support brackets to avoid any longitudinal deflection or deformation of the steel supporting structure.
Horizontal supports are needed to deaden the cross direction loads. Lattice structure is obligatory. Refer to figure 5.
Figure 5. Steel frame should have vertical support directly beneath the crusher’s support brackets.
Horizontal supports are also needed.
Considerable deformation of foundation may unbalance the crusher, which can cause the rubber damper deformation. If
the crusher is not being balanced again after this kind of deformation, the support brackets begin to wear themselves
and finally the supporting structure and the crusher itself may be damaged.
If the supporting structure is too flabby, it may drift into the resonance. If the weight of the crusher is uneven, it may
cause the toggle plate to shift sideways and begin to wear itself.
Unless otherwise indicated, the foundation design compliance with local design regulations is not the responsibility of
Metso.
It’s important to follow the given instructions to guarantee long-life crushing performance.
Support installations that don’t include the stop blocks differ from the installation of traditional supporting brackets.
This kind of support installation is designed to work properly when it has a freedom of movement at the rear end.
The bolts that attach the rear end supporting brackets to the foundation are not allowed when the crusher is under
operation. Instead of bolts, the holes must be filled with dust caps to keep the surface and rubber dampers clean. Refer
to figure 6. Follow the installation drawings carefully to guarantee long-life crushing performance. In doubt, always
contact Metso for further information.

Number 2: front end of the crusher.
Number 3: fastening bolts.
Number 4: dust caps.
Tension is not allowed on any damper. Refer to figure 8: Not allowed compression of the rubber. Shims may be used to
obtain the right degree of compression.
Rubber dampers’ depression can also be measured if the foundation is made according to the instructions given.
Measurement is needed if the rubber can’t be seen. The distance between the foundation and support bracket must be
equal in all four rubber dampers.
Crusher clearances are important when it comes to maintenance and use of the crusher. Many operations need
clearances:
Feeding arrangement, such as the feed chute and other auxiliary equipment, needs additional clearance. The feed
arrangement drawing is especially important as Metso must approve the feed arrangement before the crusher is
commissioned. If you prefer to design and manufacture your own feed chute, Metso must also check and authorize it.
Minimum clearance recommended around the entire crusher is 50 mm / 2 inches. Make sure there is enough room to
access the service access points.
Welding any feed chutes, guards, hand rails, etc. to the crusher is prohibited and will immediately void your warranty.
Further and detailed information about the clearance dimensions can be found from the installation manual, dimensional
drawings and other documents provided.
There are several places that need maintenance to guarantee a long-life crushing performance. The following figures 9-
13 show the service access points that need to be accessed. Model specific dimensions can be found from the
dimensional drawings.

Crusher causes static loads that result from the crusher mass (crusher, supporting brackets, flywheels, wedge adjustment
and jaw dies) and the mass of the feed. The loads don’t include the weight of the drive unit. The forces are:
Feed in the crusher cavity, when it is full with rocks, is about 6 % of the crusher’s weight (3 % included in static loads
for both ends, refer to table 1).
Loads in both ends need to be divided in half to discover the load that affects to one bracket. The loads mentioned in the
table 1 affect the center of the supporting brackets as seen in the figure 14.
Adding equipment or options changes the loads and therefore they have to be calculated again to correspond with the
selected configuration. The location of the center of mass can be found from the support installation drawings.
Feed in the feed chutes that Metso offer is about 10 % of the crusher’s weight (not included in static loads) and have to
be taken into account if the feed chute is added to the crusher (5 % for each end). The volume of crusher cavity and feed
chute are estimated using rock density ρ = 1 600 kg/m3.
Equipment that Metso offer move the location of the center of the mass so little that they have no significant effect to it.
Weights of the equipment manufactured by Metso can be added equally to the static loads.
For example, adding a feed chute total mass of 3 000 kg, both ends get 1 500 kg which is about 15 000 N to be added to
the both loads. Yet it is recommended that the exact position of the center of the mass is calculated every time when
adding equipment to the crusher to avoid unexpected situations. When in doubt always contact Metso.
Metso does not take responsibility for equipment manufactured by other suppliers. If there is a need to use some other
supplier, customer is obligated to discover the loads affecting to the supporting structure.
Crusher causes dynamic loads which result from the use of the crusher. Crusher’s mechanics and the rocks that are fed
to the crusher cause four kinds of loads (refer to figure 15 and table 2):
Vertical loads in both ends need to be divided in half to discover the load that affects to one bracket. The vertical loads
mentioned in the table 2 affect the center of the supporting brackets as seen in the figure 15.
Cross direction load may result from manufacturing inaccuracy and/or from the irregular feed. Cross direction
movement is attempted to deaden by the welded flat bar included in some support installations or by rubbers with other
support installations.
All the loads affect to the supporting brackets and not necessary to the places they are marked to (refer to FMD and FCD).
This kind of marking is used to clarify the drawing.
Crusher vibration results from the dynamic loads and the movement of the flywheels. The rubber dampers underneath
the supporting brackets deaden the vibration which causes heat to the dampers.
The basic rule when it comes to designing the supporting structure for the crusher is to keep the natural frequency above
the crusher’s natural frequency. If the structure is drifting towards the resonance, stiffening the supporting structure may
help.
The dynamic loads vary depending on the hardness of the material being crushed, or when the speed of the feed is
greater than recommended. Crusher loads and moments of inertia are provided in the mounting drawing.
This instruction does not replace the existing documents and it cannot be used separately without the drawings
mentioned in page 1.
