1. Operating instructions

1.1. Starting and stopping the crusher


Normally, the crusher´s control system restricts the ways in which the
crusher can be started. Read complementary information from the
manufacturer of the control system. Nevertheless, make sure that the
control system follows the start and stop procedures below.
Follow the Checks before starting the pumps on page 16 and
procedures on the maintenance card Daily inspection and care on page
14 before starting the crusher.

NOTE! The oil heating should run for 24 hours a day.

1.1.1. Starting the crusher


a) Start the main lubrication oil pump.
b) When the “Ready for start” signal is received, start the crusher’s
drive motor. The pinionshaft lubrication pump also starts when the
drive motor is started.
c) Start the feeder. The crusher should be choke fed without
segregation.
1.1.1.1. Starting the crusher in low ambient temperatures
NOTE! In low ambient temperatures the oil is more viscous, and this can
cause the warning lamp H10 to light up. The electrical signal is
automatically reset when the working temperature has been
reached, but the mechanical signal (the red pop-up button) must
be reset manually. If the button pops up immediately, contact
maintenance personnel.

H10 PS2 1

1. Operating instructions

a) Start and stop the oil pump repeatedly at 30 second intervals until
the “Ready for start” signal is received. Then start the crusher and
allow it to idle. Look through the inspection glass on the tank and
make sure that the oil flow is normal.

1.1.2. Stopping the crusher


a) Stop the feeder, and let the crusher run until the crushing chamber
is empty.
b) Stop the crusher’s drive motor. The pinionshaft lubrication pump
also stops when the drive motor is stopped.
c) After the crusher has stopped completely, stop the main lubrication
pump.

1.2. Adjusting the CSS


Use the push button box L1 to increase or decrease the CSS.
a) Stop the crusher, see section Stopping the crusher on page 9.
b) Make sure the crusher is empty.
c) Press (1) to raise the mainshaft and decrease the CSS.
d) Press (2) to lower the mainshaft and increase the CSS.

1 Decrease the CSS


2 Increase the CSS

1.3. Clearing out the crushing chamber


Risk of equipment or property damage.
Do not start the crusher if it has stalled because of
uncrushable material (metal, wood etc.). Empty the
NOTICE crusher manually or unbolt the topshell so that all
material can leave the crushing chamber, refer to the
Maintenance Instructions.

1. Operating instructions

If the crusher stalls with the crushing chamber full of material, clear it
out as follows:
a) Make sure that the crusher’s feeding arrangement is switched off.
b) If there is material in the discharge chute beneath the crusher,
remove the material.
NOTE! If there is an ASRi system, switch it off. The ASRi system
must be disconnected to prevent an automatic raising or
lowering of the mainshaft.
c) Use the L1 push button box to lower the mainshaft, keeping an eye
on the Hydroset pressure.
d) If the Hydroset pressure drops below 0.3 MPa, then raise the
mainshaft again until the pressure gauge displays at least
0.5 MPa.
e) Start the crusher.
NOTE! Check for material build-up on the bottomshell arms. If
damp, wet feed is causing packing, operate at a larger
setting.
NOTE! Check the interlocking between the feeding arrangement
and discharge system. There must be room beneath the
crusher for material in the crushing chamber and feed
hopper, in case the discharge system stops.

1.4. Opening the tank covers


a) Loosen the two screws (1). Make sure that the screws (1) are
removed from the threaded part on tank roof.

2. Operator's inspection and care

2.1. Determining inspection and


maintenance intervals
Every equipment must be subjected to regular systematic checks. This
will result in fewer and smaller repairs, less downtime and thus lower
overall running costs.
NOTE! New equipment must be inspected often during the initial operating
period. The intervals between inspections can then be increased until a
suitable frequency is found.
Keep a written log including the crusher’s and tank unit's operating
conditions and loads, important data and details of adjustments made
and any repairs carried out.
Since equipment operate under widely differing conditions, it is
impossible to recommend an inspection and care schedule applicable to
all equipment. However, regular inspections are necessary.

and/or concave is worn out.
2.5.3.1. Checking the crushing chamber for uneven wear
Regular inspection of the crushing chamber is recommended for good
total economy and to make sure that it has not been worn unevenly or
that it has become oval. Check the crushing chamber as often as
necessary.
Copyright © Sandvik
16 S 223.1079 - 2 en-US 06/02/2015 14:53:57
2. Operator's inspection and care

a) Visually inspect the crushing chamber through the inspection


hatches. Look for any localized wear or other damage in the
crushing chamber.
b) If any uneven wear is detected, contact maintenance personnel.
2.5.3.2. Checking the mantle and concave
If a large proportion of the feed is close to the maximum material size,
crushing is concentrated to the upper part of the chamber. This can
cause an annular groove (B) around the top of the entire crushing
chamber. With a large proportion of fine material in the feed, crushing is
concentrated to the lower part of the chamber, which can cause a
similar groove (C) in the lower part of the chamber.
NOTE! The mantle and concave are worn out when they have been worn
down to about ⅓ of the original thickness.
a) Visually inspect the mantle and concave through the inspection
hatches. Look for any indentations, cracks or other damage to
them.
b) If any indentations, cracks or other damage is detected, contact
maintenance personnel.

2. Operator's inspection and care

NOTE! The concave and/or mantle can be completely worn out before
the minimum A‑dimension is reached, especially if the CSS and
the eccentric throw are small.
NOTE! If the mainshaft is raised further than the minimum A‑dimension, it
can damage the spider bearing.
a) Measure the A‑dimension between the head nut (1) and the
underside of the wear ring (2).
b) If the A‑dimension is less than 15 mm (0.59"), the concave and/or
mantle is worn out and must be replaced. Contact maintenance
personnel.

2.5.8. Cleaning the air/oil cooler


Keep the cooling efficiency as high as possible by cleaning the air/oil
cooler matrix with compressed air as often as necessary. If necessary,
also clean the outside of the coil with compressed air. If vibration occurs
in the fan, it should be cleaned or replaced, to avoid damage to the
air/oil cooler.
To provide maximum cooling effect, the air must be sucked through the
coolers matrix.
a) Clean the air/oil cooler with compressed air. Be careful not to
damage the cooler.

2.6.2. Checking the condition of the lubrication oil


If there is an increased amount of metal particles on the return oil
screen OS1, the cause should be investigated to prevent possible
damage.
a) Clean the inspection glass.
b) Check the color of the oil. The color darkens as the oil becomes
more contaminated.
A yellow shimmer indicates bronze deposits in the oil.
c) Check the return oil screen OS1.
• An increased amount of swarf indicates a bearing or bushing
failure inside the crusher. Contact maintenance personnel.
• Needle-like particles indicate a seizure or wear in bevel gears
inside the crusher. Contact maintenance personnel.
• Lead flakes indicate high temperature or localized overheating
and partial seizure in bushings or step bearing components.
Contact maintenance personnel.
• Bronze particles indicate a bearing or bushing failure inside
the crusher. Contact maintenance personnel.
• Dirt can indicate that the overpressure dust sealing system is
malfunctioning or that the dust seal ring is worn.
NOTE! Dirt can also enter the system when the liners are
changed.

2.7.2. Checking the pressure of the main lubrication


system
NOTE! When the fan of the air/oil cooler is running, the pressure in the oil
system generally rises. Avoid reading off the pressure at such
times.
Check the pressure and keep a record of the readings. If the pressure
rises, it usually means that the filter is clogging up. If the pressure is
low, the pump can be worn.

Normal pressure (tank installation dependent) 0.15 - 0.5 MPa (21.8 - 72.5 psi)

a) Check the pressure on the pressure indicator PI2.


b) Record the value.
c) If the value is below or above the normal pressure, or if the
warning lamp H10 is lit, contact maintenance personnel.

2.7.3. Checking the return oil temperature


The return oil temperature is affected by the load on the crusher and the
ambient air temperature.
NOTE! The crusher is automatically stopped if the oil temperature is too
high. With TIMS, an A-alarm is initiated and the
“TT1 - High temperature” LED lights up on the TIMS box LC10.
a) Check the return oil temperature on the temperature indicator TI1.

Return oil temperature during normal conditions 35 to 50°C (95 to 122°F)

b) If the temperature deviates from the values in the table, contact


maintenance personnel.

2.7.4. Checking the CSS with lead


NOTE! This check is not necessary if your crusher is equipped with ASRi.
Refer to the ASRi's Installation and Operator's Manual for
instructions about how to check and calibrate the CSS.
a) Fasten a lump of lead to a steel wire. Make sure that the lead lump
is larger than the CSS.
Crushing hazard
If you fall into the crusher during operation you
are crushed.
DANGER! Avoid staying on the equipment, unless it is
necessary for inspections and maintenance
work.

b) Slowly lower the lead lump into the discharge area of the crushing
chamber.
c) Check the CSS at four points evenly spaced around the crushing chamber, in ord
The thickness of the squeezed lead lump corresponds to the CSS.
d) If any uneven wear is detected, contact maintenance personnel.

2.7.5. Listening for abnormal noise


a) Listen for any abnormal noise from the crusher.
b) Listen for any abnormal noise from the main lubrication pump and
the pinionshaft lubrication pump.
c) If you hear any abnormal noise, stop the crusher and contact
maintenance personnel.

2.7.6. Checking the function of the return oil flow


switch
a) Check the oil level in the return oil chamber (4). When a sufficient
flow of oil is returning to the tank, the oil level in the return oil
chamber (4) should be 5 mm (0.20") above the spillway. With this
oil level in the return oil chamber (4), the float (1) is completely
immersed in oil but the oil’s lifting force pushes the float (1) up
against its upper stop.

24 S 223.1079 - 2 en-US 06/02/2015 14:53:57
2. Operator's inspection and care

b) Check the level monitor by pushing the float (1) down about
5 mm (0.20") from its upper stop. The crusher’s drive motor must
then stop. If the oil flow decreases, the oil level will drop in the
return oil chamber (4). When the oil level has dropped about
15 mm (0.59"), the float (1) will sink about 5 mm (0.20") below the
upper stop. In this position the switch FS1 opens and stops the
crusher’s drive motor.

2.8.4. Checking the pressure of the main lubrication


system
NOTE! When the fan of the air/oil cooler is running, the pressure in the oil
system generally rises. Avoid reading off the pressure at such
times.
Check the pressure and keep a record of the readings. If the pressure
rises, it usually means that the filter is clogging up. If the pressure is
low, the pump can be worn.

Normal pressure (tank installation dependent) 0.15 - 0.5 MPa (21.8 - 72.5 psi)

a) Check the pressure on the pressure indicator PI2.


b) Record the value.
c) If the value is below or above the normal pressure, or if the
warning lamp H10 is lit, contact maintenance personnel.

2.8.5. Checking the return oil temperature


The return oil temperature is affected by the load on the crusher and the
ambient air temperature.
NOTE! The crusher is automatically stopped if the oil temperature is too
high. With TIMS, an A-alarm is initiated and the
“TT1 - High temperature” LED lights up on the TIMS box LC10.
a) Check the return oil temperature on the temperature indicator TI1.

Return oil temperature during normal conditions 35 to 50°C (95 to 122°F)

b) If the temperature deviates from the values in the table, contact


maintenance personnel.

2.8.6. Checking the oil level in the Hydroset tank

2.9.2. Cleaning the dirt trap


Burn hazard
Oil can become hot during operation. Equipment and
hoses/pipes that contain oil can have hot surfaces.
WARNING! Allow the oil, the equipment and hoses/pipes to cool
down before working in the tank unit or on the
hydraulic or lubrication systems.

Risk of equipment or property damage


The gauze element (1) must not, under any
NOTICE circumstances, be left out or replaced by another
with a different mesh

If the dirt trap FU4 is allowed to clog, cavitation occurs in the pump,
which can result in pump breakdown. The gauze element (1) must not,
under any circumstances, be left out or replaced by another with a
different mesh.
a) Close the shut-off valve V1 ahead of the filter unit with dirt
trap FU4.
b) Put a suitable container underneath the dirt trap FU4 to collect the
oil that runs out.

Risk of equipment or property damage


Check that the shut-off valve V1 is fully open
NOTICE before the main lubrication pump is started. The
pump and the hoses will be seriously damaged if
the valve is closed.

NOTE! During the running-in period, and when the tank has been
cleaned, check the dirt trap FU4 daily.

2.9.3. Checking the wear and tension of the V-belt


During the first few days of operation, the belt tension must be checked
frequently since new belts stretch. If the belts are not tensioned
sufficiently, slipping can occur and belt life will be reduced considerably.
Proper belt tension can be determined with the help of the deflection
load. Check the deflection load with a spring balance, a tensiometer or
similar.
Recommended deflection load (F)

a) Measure the belt span (W) in meters, as shown below.


b) Multiply the span by 1.5, to give the belt deflection (D) in cm.
c) Set the top side of the lower O-ring to the correct deflection in cm
on the meter’s lower scale.
d) Push the upper O-ring up against the lower edge of the outer
sleeve.

2.9.6. Checking the grease level in the spider bearing


During the first few weeks of operation, the grease level should be
checked daily by unscrewing the plug in the spider cap. Beside the
grease nipple on one of the topshell arms there is a decal which shows
the type of grease pumped into the spider bearing before delivery. Do
not mix different types of grease. Refer to section Grease for spider
bearing lubrication in the Technical Specifications.

NOTE! The spider bearing should be filled with grease to the top of the
bushing, when the mainshaft is in its lowest position.
a) Make sure that the mainshaft is in its lowest position, see section
Adjusting the CSS on page 9.
b) Unscrew and remove the plug in the spider cap (not visible in the
illustration).
c) Examine the grease level by sticking a steel wire or equivalent into
the observation hole (not visible in the illustration) and feeling the
grease level. Make sure that you measure the grease level from
the mainshaft (3) and not from a screw (2) or the bushing (4).
Alternatively shine a flashlight into the hole and observe the level.
