DANGER
RELEASE OF FLUIDS OR GASES UNDER PRESSURE HAZARD
• UNPROTECTED BODY PARTS EXPOSED TO THE RELEASE OF FLUIDS OR GASES
UNDER PRESSURE CAN BE AT RISK OF INJECTION OR INGESTION HAZARDS.
THIS CAN OCCUR DURING THE LOOSENING OF FIXINGS TO PRESSURE
inspection CONTAINMENT COMPONENTS.
• ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT PPE IS USED WHEN THIS HAZARD IS PRESENT.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN LEAKING FITTINGS OR HOSES UNDER
PRESSURE.

DANGER
VIBRATION LEVELS
• CRUSHERS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE INSTALLED AT WORKSTATIONS OR
REQUIRE CONTINUAL CLOSE CONTACT BY OPERATIVES. IF THIS IS
UNAVOIDABLE, THEN THE FREQUENCY AND LEVEL OF EXPOSURE TO
VIBRATION BY ANY OPERATIVE SHOULD BE ASSESSED. ATTENTION SHOULD BE
GIVEN TO VIBRATIONS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE FEET TO THE BODY FROM
THE CRUSHER FOUNDATIONS OR SUPPORT STRUCTURE.
• THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/44/EC REFERENCES VIBRATION EXPOSURE
LIMIT AND ACTION VALUES FOR THE HAND-ARM AND THE WHOLE BODY.

CAUTION
CRUSHING PLANT NOISE EMISSION
• For the motor only sound pressure levels, refer to the relevant proprietary electrical motor
manual.
• For an in-service crusher, including its drive, the actual noise levels generated are
dependent on many variable factors, such as drive types, crushed rock types,
surrounding equipment, whether it is installed indoor/outdoor, type of foundation or any
combination of the above and local environmental factors, these factors are beyond the
control of Weir Trio.
• Sound emission levels should be assessed in service by the user refer to directive 2003/
10/EC for minimum.
• Health & safety exposure requirements europe. Suitable precautions such as the use of
personnel protective equipment (PPE) should be taken to protect operators from
exposure to noise in accordance with local health, safety and environmental regulations.
• Crushing equipment and auxiliary equipment found in and around the crushing
equipment such as chutes, transfer stations, screens are noisier than the Cone Crusher.
• Governing bodies will dictate the allowable level of exposure to plant personal.
• Wear hearing protection devices if the noise level is higher than the limits.
• If hearing protection devices are undesirable, reduce the amount of noise exposure that
an operator or maintenance personnel may be subjected to.
• Improper installation of the operator station may increase noise conditions. Acoustical
tile, soundproof walls helps to reduce the noise.
• An operator tower should not be placed at the crusher ejections, spillage, etc.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Safety

WARNING
CONE CRUSHER
• The Cone Crusher is designed to crush rock, recycled concrete, and also a wide range of
other products and materials. The use of this machinery in any other way is prohibited
and contrary to its intended use.
• When the equipment is used for any other purpose, the user is responsible for any
injuries or damage that may occur.
• Weir Trio recommends that the equipment must be operated only by personnel who have
undergone training.

WARNING
CRUSHING PLANT DUST
• Crushing and auxiliary equipment such as chutes, transfer stations, screens, etc., create
dust.
• Breathing dust is hazardous to personnel. Personnel working around dust are prone to
lung disease, depending on the concentrations of dust and the type of material being
crushed.
• Weir Trio recommends personnel wear dust-protection devices, such as a respirator, to
prevent dust inhalation. It is the responsibility of the operator to determine the necessity
of protective devices and make sure they are used appropriately.
• Installation of dust collection systems or the use of water spray bars at the feed and /or
discharge conveyor of the crushing circuit can reduce the airborne dust.
• Crushing with a choke level can also reduce the dust from the Cone Crusher.
• The configuration of each rock crushing installation is different. Weir Trio, recommends
that the operator consults the local Weir Trio representative or a dust consultant for
possible alternative methods of dust reduction.

WARNING
WELDING EQUIPMENT
• Take precautions while torch cutting and/or welding, like this may cause health hazards
posed by materials being cut or welded. Avoid breathing the fumes while performing this
procedure. Perform this procedure outdoors with separate clean air supply provided to
the personnel performing the task or in a well ventilated area with the local exhaust of
fumes. Follow all regulations and standards as appropriate.
• One of the most frequently used tools around a Cone Crusher is a cutting torch. Cone
Crushers equipped with hydraulic components de-pressurise these components shoild
be covered with flame-proof material so that sparks, weld spatter, etc., cannot reach
these areas. Ruptured high-pressure hydraulic lines quickly vaporize the hydraulic fluid
as it reaches the atmosphere. This vaporized fluid can become flammable, which can
result in severe burns for personnel in the immediate area.
• The maintenance personnel using torch cutting equipment must be informed if there are
hydraulic components in the immediate area in which they are working. Adequate
precautions must be taken to avoid these components. Rubber lined components that are
used in normal plant maintenance are not immune to the torch cutting equipment.

Safety Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher

WARNING
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
• When the crusher is installed outside of an enclosed building or is connected to the
outside by conductive parts, the crusher should be included within the site's lightning
protection system assessment.
• Where it has been assessed that the crusher must be protected from lightning strike by
bonding to the sites lightning strike grounding system, the connection should be made to
meet or exceed the requirements of the governing standard such as the EU standard
EN 62305 in Europe.
• As part of the user's scheduled maintenance program, the connection should be visually
inspected and tested in accordance with that standard and its exposed parts protected
from corrosive environments.

CAUTION
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGES
• If the crusher is used in dry or dusty environments or its operating conditions causes the
machine or its components to become electrically isolated from earth, for example by
mounting on an ungrounded foundation such as anti-vibration rubber matting, this may
lead to a build-up of static electricity leading to risk of electrical discharges, (potential
ignition source in hazardous environments) and electric shock.
• To prevent this, a bonded connection from the crusher to the site's earth grounding
system should be made to meet or exceed the requirements of the local governing
standards such as the international standard IEC 60364.
• As part of the user's scheduled maintenance program, the connection should be visually
inspected and tested in accordance with that standard and its exposed parts protected
from corrosive environments.

CAUTION
OPERATORS PLATFORM
• Perform periodic inspection and maintenance on each Cone Crusher.
• It is important to create a platform at a level convenient for the maintenance personnel to
inspect and work on the Cone Crusher.
• A good operators platform must be made of the solid floor plate, must have hand railing,
toe plate and wire mesh or expanded metal.
• The Wire mesh or expanded metal between the platform and the top of the hand railing
prevents tools from dropping from the platform and stroking personnel working below the
platform.
• Do not fasten the operators platform to the adjustment ring. The entire adjustment ring
raises or lifts quickly when tramp iron passes through the Cone Crusher.

• Consider a chain hoist as the last option to assemble and disassemble the Cone Crusher.

CAUTION
CAUTION WHILE USING MOBILE CRANES
• When using a mobile crane, operate it within the rated capacity of the machine to avoid
buckling the boom or tipping.
• Safe ratings are based on operating the crane on firm, level ground.
• Avoid fast swings, hoists or sudden braking as this can cause overloads.
• Do not handle large, heavy loads in strong winds.
• While moving the crane, check bridges before crossing.
• Check clearance under bridges, and overhead electrical lines or any overhead
obstruction.

CAUTION
CAUTION WHILE USING LIFTING EQUIPMENT
• Lift all Cone Crusher components with slow and even movements.
• Always comply with maximum load regulations for the equipment.
• Add the weights of the hoisting accessories such as chain, hooks, etc. to the Cone
Crusher weight.

CAUTION
RISK DUE TO CONVEYOR BELTS
• Do not use conveyor belts as walkways.
• Always provide handrails along the conveyor belt walkway as an additional safety
precaution.

CAUTION
RISK DUE TO DUST / DIRT ACCUMULATIONS
• As part of the user scheduled maintenance program, inspect and clean the external
surfaces of the crusher equipment and electrical motor casing so that it is free from dust,

RISK DUE TO PORTABLE EQUIPMENT
• If the crushing plant consists of portable equipment, that is, crushing and screening
equipment mounted on trailers, trailer footing or cribbing is important for safe operation.
• Check the footing. The Cone Crusher must be on as solid and level a footing as possible.
Use heavy timber mats as needed.
• Raise the trailer, so that trailer wheels do not touch the ground.
• Place the screw jacks at each corner and crib appropriately of the trailer or as near to the
corner as possible.
• Adjust the levelling jacks until the unsupported portion of the trailer beams stops vibrating
or until the vibration is reduced to a minimum.
• Never leave the trailer in a low spot where rains may wash out the footing. Always crib
the trailer in place. The portable plant levelling jacks should then be raised unless they
are run on levelling jacks.
• Recheck trailer footing periodically for stability.
• When moving the trailer, check bridges before crossing.
• Make sure it supports the weight of the machine.
• Check clearances under bridges for overhead lines or any overhead obstruction.
• Never travel with near capacity loads.
• Check local laws on weight and height limitations.
• When travelling on a highway, make sure that all headlights, clearance lights and tail
lights are ON.
• Use appropriate warning flags and signs.

This section provides:
• Cone Crusher Introduction
• Cone Crusher components
• Cone Crusher gradation and capacity charts

4.1 Cone Crusher Introduction


The Cone Crusher is a high-capacity compression type crusher that fractures material along its natural fault
lines.
Product size is controlled by adjusting the distance between the bowl mounted bowl liner and head mounted
mantle. The bowl liner and mantle are commonly referred to as “liners” or liner set, and make up the crushing
chamber of the cone. These liners are replaceable and are available in several different profiles depending
upon the type of material to be crushed and customer preference.
The Cone Crusher uses a series of hydraulic tramp cylinders setup to maintain proper crushing hold-down
force of the upper frame assembly, with built-in overload protection for the Cone Crusher as well as a simple
method for release and clearing if a non-crushable object enters the crushing chamber.
The Cone Crusher may be installed in stationary, modular skid, as well as portable wheel or mobile track
plant applications. The Cone Crusher must be accurately leveled within 1 mm/1 m to operate properly.

NOTICE
PARTLY COMPLETED MACHINERY OR MACHINERY FOR INCORPORATION INTO
OTHER MACHINERY
When the Cone Crusher has been supplied as a partly completed machinery as defined by
the European Union Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for example without its Guards, Drive
System, Hydraulic Power Unit or any other equipment to enable its proper safe operation
or it is to be assembled into other machinery or operated in isolation, then the final
machinery should not be put into service until it has been declared in conformity with the
essential health and safety requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC and any other applicable
directives. Crusher controls should be configured so as to prevent any inadvertent
accidental start-up or shut down by operators and include a means of isolation from its
driver. An emergency stop should be included and configured to stop the machinery and
related equipment in a safe manner.
Refer to the relevant sections of this manual for assembly instructions of the various sub-
assemblies to complete the machine.

4.2 Cone Crusher Components


This section provides details of the major components of the Cone Crusher.
Each model/size Cone Crusher consists of similar components however, certain models/sizes may not have
the same components as other models/sizes.
Check the Cone Crusher’s components with the ordered list. Make sure that it is equipped with the
components as per order.
The Crusher main frame assembly must be properly fixed to an engineered foundation with proper anchor
bolts. This provides firm support to the Cone Crusher components. The liners inside the main frame ensure
that the inside portion is well protected.
The adjustment ring assembly is mounted on top of the crusher lower main frame, aligned by several
perimeter guide pins and mating bushings. The adjustment ring is supported by the hydraulic tramp cylinders.
The adjustment ring also has internal threads, which are used to support the mating OD threads located on
the bowl assembly. These mating threads also facilitate the adjustment of the crusher assembly “Closed Side
Setting”, and CSS rock output size adjustment setup.
The tramp release cylinders are mounted in such a way that one end is fixed to the upper frame assembly
and other end to the main frame assembly.
The clamping ring is mounted on top the adjustment ring. Installed about the perimeter of the clamping rings
are a series of hydraulic single-acting clamping cylinders. These cylinders are energized, or extended, to
“Lock” and maintain the CSS adjustment setting of the crusher. A clamped CSS state prevents the mating
adjustment threads between the bowl and adjustment clamping rings from rotating during crusher operation.
Dust shells with seals are bolted to the assembly. These prevent dust and dirt from entering the clamping
ring, clamping cylinders, bowl and internal threads.
The countershaft has a sheave or direct drive coupling on one end and a pinion gear on the other end. The
pinion meshes with a mating ring gear, which is fitted to the eccentric assembly. An electric motor or diesel
engine transmits power to the countershaft sheave through the v-belt or direct drive. The pinion gear
mounted on the inboard end of the countershaft drives, the ring gear on the eccentric assembly.

Description Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
4.2.8 Cone Crusher Lubrication Power Unit (LPU)
The lubrication system unit supplies clean and cool lubrication oil to the Cone Crusher. The lubrication
system is air-cooled. Refer to “Lubrication Power Unit (LPU)” on page 7-1 for more details.

4.2.9 Cone Crusher Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)


The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) facilitates the operation of the Cone Crusher. This unit controls the evenly
positioned clamping cylinders for thread lock, which ensures 360° thread clamping during the crushing
operation. The clamping cylinders are released to allow the adjustment of the CSS. With the push-button
control, the hydraulic motor provides power to rotate the adjustment gear, which allows precision CSS setup
and adjustment.
The HPU also controls the tramp release cylinders which connect the upper frame assembly adjustment ring
at one end and the crusher lower main frame at the other end. The tramp release cylinders are evenly spaced
around the outer frame of the Cone Crusher, holding the crusher upper and lower frame sections together,
thus controlling allowable crushing forces, and more importantly - crusher overload.
Each tramp release cylinder is connected to the accumulator and has a high-volume pressure relief valve.
When a tramp overload incident occurs, the upper frame assembly raises, increasing the hydraulic pressure
on the top side of the cylinder. The accumulator absorbs the pressure spike event, to maintain an even and
constant hold down pressure during a tramp event. If an over-loading condition occurs, the relief valve opens
and the displaced oil moves rapidly to the bottom side of the hydraulic tramp cylinder or back to the HPU
tank. This action protects the internal and external mechanical components of Cone Crusher from excess
stress.
The tramp release cylinders are designed to provide two functions:
• Hold down the upper frame assembly in CSS setup position.
• Raise the upper-frame assembly and clear the cavity by allowing rock to free fall out of the
crushing zone of the Cone Crusher.
Refer to “Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)” on page 8-1 for more details.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Transport and Storage

5 Transport and Storage


5.1 General
When the Cone Crusher is in operation, the material being crushed exerts a downward force on the cone
head. This action holds the cone head in its proper position.
With no downward force on the cone head, gravity is the only thing preventing the cone head from lifting.
Anything that produces a bouncing action, such as transportation on a rough road or even a trailer
suspension, can result in an unacceptable vertical movement.
During shipment or transport, the cone head must be prevented from lifting or bouncing.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to prevent cone head movement may result in damage to Cone Crusher
components.

5.2 Transportation
This section describes the following:
• Transport safety
• Chain of Responsibility (COR)
• Load restraint commandments and tools
• Transportation of the Cone Crusher

5.2.1 Transport Safety


The transport vendor must pack the freight such that it:
• Makes sure any instructions required to lift or re-tether the load are fully visible.
• Does not cause any hazard to the supply staff, transport personnel, and the general public.
• Complies with all legal requirements including mass, dimension, and load restraint requirements.
• Can withstand high-speed road transport over rough terrain.
• Can be safely loaded/unloaded from the transport vehicles.
• Minimises the risk of injury to all personnel involved in the freight transportation.
• Minimises the risk of damage to the freight.
• Minimises the risk of damage to other freight and the general public.
• Has packing labels that specify the weight of the items and details of the recipient.
• Has ratchet-strap tie-downs over painted areas to minimise paint damage.
• Secures the loose items.

5.2.2 Chain of Responsibility


Under the Chain of Responsibility (COR) regulations, all parties with some control in the supply chain have
legal responsibilities to make sure that the compliance with relevant heavy vehicle road laws, including mass,
dimension, and load restraint laws. This includes people involved in consigning, loading, packing, and
receiving freight as well as drivers of those vehicles (for example, concerning speeding and fatigue
management).

Figure 5-1: Load Restraint

Key requirements for load security are:


1. Make sure that the load platform, bodywork, and any load securing equipment are in a serviceable
condition before loading the vehicle.
2. Secure the cargo so that it cannot move, roll-over, wander because of vibrations, fall off the vehicle, or
make the vehicle tip over.
3. Determine the securing method(s) best adapted to the characteristics of the cargo (locking, blocking,
direct lashing, top-over lashing, or a combination of these).
4. Make sure that the vehicle and blocking equipment manufacturers’ recommendations are adhered to.
5. Make sure that the cargo securing equipment is commensurate with the constraints it encounters during
the journey. Make sure that the securing equipment can withstand the following conditions, which are
considered as normal circumstances, that may occur during a journey:
• Emergency braking
• Strong cornering to avoid an obstacle
• Bad road or weather conditions
6. Inspect the cargo and check for overload and/or poorly balanced weight distribution before starting
when cargo is loaded, unloaded, or redistributed each time. Make sure that the cargo is distributed in
such a way that the centre of gravity of the total cargo lies as close as possible to the longitudinal axis
and is kept as low as possible (heavier goods below, lighter goods above).
7. Use equipment which supports the cargo securing such as friction mats, walking boards, straps, edge
beams, etc. wherever possible.
8. Make sure that the securing arrangements do not damage the goods transported.

Transport and Storage Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
5.3 Crusher Storage
The crusher is to rust-prone during shipping or seasonal shut-down or during outdoor storage.
To protect the crusher from rust corrosion during extreme weather, the following measures are
recommended.
1. Remove the upper frame, bowl, head, eccentric and socket assemblies. Disconnect the drain line and
the oil pressure inlet from the bottom of the main frame. Seal all the piping holes using the pipe plugs.
2. Always use lubricating oil which has a rust preventive blend. This is designed for the protection of
internal parts of the enclosed assemblies. These products provide 30 to 40 times more protection
against rust compared with high-quality lubrication oils that have not been especially formulated to
prevent rust.
Use a broad paint brush to coat the inside surface of the main frame with rust preventive
lubrication oil. Approximately 208 L of oil is required to coat the crusher. The viscosity of the oil
must be in the 150 to 300 SSU at 38 °C (100 ° F) range.
For most of the applications, the residual film left by these oils need not be flushed. Fill the
crusher with lubricating oil and resume the normal service.
3. Use a broad paintbrush to coat the thrust bearing, the outer surface of the main shaft, and all exposed
surfaces of the pinion with rust preventive oil.
4. Remove the countershaft box oil feed hose from the top or side of the countershaft box.
5. Place a funnel in the hole of the countershaft box. Pour lubricating oil into the countershaft box and
rotate the countershaft. Approximately 20 L is required to coat the entire countershaft box area. There
could be oil leaks from the drive end of the countershaft box which is normal. Clear the leaks and install
the oil feed hose on the countershaft box.
6. Pour oil in the main shaft through lubrication hole until it is filled and later drain it.
7. Use a brush to coat the outer surface of the head, eccentric, the bore of the eccentric bushing and all
exposed surfaces of the gear with rust preventive oil.
8. Install the eccentric assembly and socket assembly. Apply a coat of the rust preventive oil on all
exposed surfaces of socket and socket liner. Install the head assembly.
9. Fill the oil tank with rust preventive oil. Approximately 95 l is required for the entire hydraulic system.
Make sure that the rust preventive oil is compatible with the hydraulic system where neoprene,
polyurethane, bronze, nickel, chrome, steel and iron are used.
10. Check and make sure that the hydraulic tramp release, clamping and bowl turning mechanisms are all
thoroughly coated with rust preventive oil.
A light-bodied petroleum solvent which contains substantial amounts of polar rust preventive
additive and has a strong attraction for metal surfaces must be used on the external threads.
The additive must have excellent ability to wet metal surfaces in the presence of water and as a
result, strongly resist the displacement from the surface by water. The solvent must evaporate
quickly and leave a thin, transparent, greasy film.
11. Apply (spraying or brushing or rolling) light-bodied petroleum solvent on the external metal surfaces of
the bowl, adjustment ring and clamping ring threads. This film need not be removed when the crusher is
placed in operation.
12. Apply a liberal amount of grease (lithium base grease NLGI No. 1 containing a 5-10% of molybdenum
disulfide) on the external threads.
13. Install the bowl and upper adjustment ring assembly. Cover the entire unit with a black polyethylene to
prevent water from seeping into it. Black is recommended since it deteriorates slower than the
transparent sheets. Steel strap the polyethylene sheeting, to hold it in place.
14. Connect the oil inlet and drain line. The oil coated on the metal surfaces ensures rust protection.
Following the above measures ensures protection for 6-12 months.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Transport and Storage

Crusher Stored as Sub-assemblies


If the crusher is shipped or stored as various sub-assemblies then along with the above steps, these
additional protections have to be followed:
1. Cover the socket, socket liner and outside of the main shaft with black polyethylene sheet. Make sure
that the cover is wrapped around the countershaft box and is stretched to the upper adjustment ring.
Prevent the sheets from sagging by suitably bracing them.
2. Spray or coat the specially processed asphaltic material on all exposed surfaces of the sub-assemblies
(bowl, feed plate, head socket and eccentric). The specially processed asphaltic material is prepared as
fluid by mixing a petroleum solvent. It is a black liquid that can be applied at room temperature. As the
petroleum solvent evaporates, it leaves a hard, strong, dry, acid-resistant film. This coating provides
long-term protection under extreme conditions such as unprotected outdoor storage and the presence
of corrosive fumes. Use this coating on the unpainted surfaces. This film is similar to paint and is semi-
permanent. This film can be removed after repeated rubbing the surfaces with solvent soaked rags.
Following the above measures ensures protection for 24 months.

5.4 Lubrication Power Unit and Hydraulic Power Unit Storage


To store the units up to three months, special provisions have to be made so that operational-readiness can
be maintained.
• Motors have to be equipped with internal space heaters which are kept continuously kept on.
• The motors have to be crated appropriately and covered with polyethylene sheeting.
• Hand-rotate the shafts once a month. Keep the units in a cool, dry location.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Installation of Crusher

6 Installation of Crusher
6.1 General Information
The status of a crusher as a complete set or different sub-assemblies is dependent on the export
arrangement or handling restrictions. The larger size Cone Crushers are shipped with major sub-assemblies.
When the Cone Crusher is delivered, thoroughly check for damage that might have occurred during
transport.

6.2 Receiving and Inspection

NOTICE
INSPECTION
Inspect the Cone Crusher before proceeding with installation.
Do the following during inspection:
• Note any damage on the shipper's bill of lading and have the deliverer sign your description of any
problem(s).
• Keep a copy of the marked-up bill of lading for your files.
• Take photos if possible.
• File a claim with the carrier within 30 days of receipt of the equipment.
• Check loose parts, small parts boxes, and tools against the packing list to make sure that all items
shipped are present.

6.3 Installation Requirements


A durable, stable, firm and level foundation is critical for Cone Crusher operation. Make sure that the
foundation and supporting structures are strong enough to support the dynamic load of the operating Cone
Crusher and related equipment with material moving through it.
The main frame must rest on a flat, level and horizontal surface. The foundation has to be prepared for
installing the Cone Crusher.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Installation of Crusher

To install the crusher on a concrete foundation or to grout a steel structure to a concrete slab, proceed as
follows.
1. When using epoxy or concrete grout, place the crusher on hardwood blocks positioned beneath each of
the four (4) corners of the frame assembly. Wood is used because grout shrinks when it sets, and the
wood will shrink with the grout. The blocks should support the crusher approximately 1 to 1 1/2 in (25 to
38 mm) for epoxy grout and 2 to 2 1/2 in (50 to 64 mm) above the top of the concrete foundation to allow
for the proper thickness of concrete grout.
2. The surface of the foundation, where the grouting will be poured, should be left rough and be carefully
cleaned before grouting. When using concrete grout, this surface should be thoroughly saturated with
water and kept wet to prevent any rapid absorption of water from the grout mix. However, remove any
excess water from the top of the foundation just before pouring the concrete grout. Use a concrete grout
mixture that contains a non-shrink additive to minimize the shrinkage. Mix and pour the epoxy grout
following the instructions in the carton. Pay particular attention to the temperature requirements.
3. Using an overhead crane or other lifting device that is capable of lifting the total weight of the crusher,
attach suitable steel cable slings to the four (4) ribs near the lower corners of the main frame flange. The
steel cables should be held apart by heavy-duty spreader bars to prevent any shifting of the cables.

WARNING
RISK OF INJURY DURING LIFTING
Always make sure the lifting device is of sufficient capacity to lift the required weights.If not,
this could result in serious personal injury or severe damage to the equipment.
The installation process requires overhead clearance for lifting and positioning of the crusher and its
assembly components. Make sure ample clearance and overhead space are available to safely maneuver
the crusher for installation. Overhead space and clearance will later also be required for crusher maintenance
actives; The foundation size and clearance requirements, dynamic and static forces generated by a crusher
can be found on the crusher's GA drawing provided by Weir.
4. Lower the crusher in position on the foundation on top of the hardwood blocks.
5. Level the crusher by inserting steel shims between the underside of the main frame flange on top of the
wood blocks.

NOTICE
CRUSHER LEVEL
When a crusher is mounted on a steel structure, the crusher is simply levelled, shimmed
and tightened firmly to the structure.
6. Construct a form around the inside and outside of the main frame flange to contain the epoxy or
concrete during pouring. Use 1 x 4 in (25 x 102 mm) wood strips for the forms. Locate and fasten the 1
x 4 in (25 x 102 mm) wood strips, 1/2 in (13 mm) from the outside of the main frame flange. On the
inside, place the forms against the side of the foundation and the underside of the main frame flange. All
forms must be thoroughly waxed with several coats of ordinary paste wax. This will prevent the wood
strips from sticking to the grout. All joints and seams must be sealed with tubes of silicone caulk to
prevent leakage of the grout during pouring.
7. To prevent air entrapment under the crusher, pour the grout from one place at a time, allowing the grout
to cover an area of approximately 2 ft (.6 m) on either side of the pouring spot. Then move to a position
where the previous pour flow has stopped and pour again. Continue this procedure until grouting is
completed. Do not pour the grout into more than one area at a time.

6.3.2 Mounting Drive Motor


When mounting Cone Crusher drive motors, make sure that it is mounted on a similar mounting isolation
platform as the Cone Crusher. This ensures that the drive motor does not allow the drive belts to slack in
under load.

6.4 Machinery Installed onto a Skid, Mobile or Portable Unit


For applications where the machinery and its drive system is to be installed onto a skid, mobile or portable
unit, the unit's structure and machinery hold down fixings must be designed and constructed to suit the
maximum loads transmitted from the machinery to the structure during it is in use including breakdown event.
Refer to the General Arrangement for details of loading's transmitted to the support structure from the
machinery. The machinery must be stable and mounted level (refer to “Level Requirements” on page 6-4)
before use.
It is recommended that a stability assessment of the application by a competent person is made and if
deemed necessary additional outriggers are used to prevent tipping or rolling of the assembly before use.

NOTICE
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
Weather and other factors that may affect ground stability, regular checks should be made
for changing ground conditions during machine use. The machine should be securely fixed
down to the mobile unit structure and supported on firm ground so that no movement can
occur during use.
Machinery should never be operated whilst a mobile platform is in transit.

6.5 Position
The Cone Crusher must be in installed in a location where there is sufficient clearance above and around the
unit for access to maintain, repair or replace the:
• Bowl and head assemblies
• Countershaft assembly
Allow enough room around the Cone Crusher for conveyors, loaders, and maintenance equipment (including
auxiliary equipment) and personnel. This ensures easy removal of the equipment during servicing.

6.6 Level Requirements


Wherever the Cone Crusher is installed, it must be mounted level.
• For stationary units, the supporting structure must be level when completed.
• For skid-mounted, mobile or portable plant units, the frame must be levelled. Use levelling jacks or
suitable blocking as needed to bring the unit to a level position.
• Horizontal of the crusher requirement - 1mm/m.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Installation of Crusher

6.7 Lifting Requirements


To lift the Cone Crusher, use machinery, lifting slings, and equipment of sufficient size to safely handle the
load. When hooking lifting slings to the Cone Crusher, always attach to the main frame. Never lift the
complete Cone Crusher by attaching to the upper frame assembly or hopper. If only the upper frame
assembly is to be removed from the Cone Crusher for maintenance or component replacement, fasten the
lifting slings and equipment to the lifting lugs provided on top of the assembly.

6.8 Feed Arrangement

Incorrect Method Correct Method


Figure 6-3: Feed Arrangement
The efficiency of the crusher is directly dependent on the feed arrangement. The crusher reaches maximum
efficiency, if the feed supplied is adequate and evenly distributed around the crushing cavity.
Proper control of the feed material maximises capacity, product size and life of components. Inadequate feed
causes the crusher to run in underpowered conditions, resulting in uneven distribution of forces across the
bearings.
Make sure that the feed is mixed thoroughly and distributed evenly around the crushing cavity. Unevenly
distributed feed leads to irregular size products and reduced capacity. This also causes “ring movement”.
Ring movement is a condition when the adjustment ring jumps up and down over the main frame seat liners.
Extended ring bounce leads to damage of components like adjustment ring, main frame seat liners, main
frame and other attaching parts.
It is recommended to mount a feed box over the top of the hopper of the crusher. This provides a backstop for
the feed as it comes from the chute. The feed box makes sure that the feed rebounds and falls vertically on
the feed plate uniformly.
The speed of the material entering the crusher must be controlled. Material dropped from a higher distance
can pass through the open side of the cavity and is not crushed. This results in extended period of ring
bounce, resulting in damage to components.
It is good practice to place a screen ahead of the crusher to prevent fine particles from entering the crushing
cavity.
To prevent any non-crushable items (called “tramp”) from entering the crushing cavity, install a device to
remove non-crushable items, such as metal magnet or detector.
Such materials passing into the crushing chamber cause ring bounce and may damage components.

Installation of Crusher Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
6.9 Discharge Arrangement
The discharge arrangement varies with each installation. The discharge arrangement must follow the
recommendation given in the foundation drawings. A shelf or ledge has to be constructed within the
discharge compartment. This makes a “dead bed” and is designed to absorb the impact of the falling material
before it moves to the conveying equipment. This ensures that the conveying equipment has extended life.
If a chute is being used, the slope of the chute must be more than 45° with the horizontal and, if the material
is very sticky, increase the angle of inclination.
Maintain sufficient clearance between the crusher and the discharge area. This prevents material from
clogging the discharge area and in turn avoids the build-up of the material under the crusher.
A Zero Speed Switch should be installed on the “tail pulley” or “counterweight pulley” on the crusher
discharge belt or conveyor to stop the feed to the crusher. It prevents the discharging material from backing
up into the crusher.

6.10 Drive System


The Cone Crusher is V-Belt Driven type and powered by an electric motor.

6.10.1 V-belt Drive


The V-belt drive prevents shock loads from being transmitted to the crusher drive motor. Different
combinations of sheave diameters are used to vary the speed of the countershaft. Two different types of
V-belt drives are single and banded belts.
Both of these types can be used on a standard sheave.
The single belts are compact and are designed for drive economy and reduced overhung load. The banded
belts are a set of two or four or eight individual belts attached with a common cover to prevent belt whip or
turnover. For optimum performance limit the banded belts to two or four individual belts.
If the motor sheave is located within 30° or directly below the crusher vertical centreline, then inform the
factory about the position of the same. The factory would install the outer countershaft bushing accordingly.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Installation of Crusher

To install the V-belt drive, proceed as follows:


1. Clean the sheave grooves. Make sure that the oil, grease or rust are removed. Use brake cleaner
aerosol spray.
2. Align the sheaves and make sure that the shafts are parallel.
3. Do not try to force the belt on the sheaves. Always reduce the centre distance between the sheaves, so
that the belts can be easily slipped on them.
Due to manufacturing tolerance or possible stretch and wear of the belt, the centres must be adjustable to
accommodate this allowance. Do not mix old and new belts. Always use belts of the same rating and of
manufactures.

6.11 Motor
An electrical motor is used as the crusher driving motor. The drive motor specification is as follows:
• Continuous rated, with normal starting torque (approximately 125 percent).
• Normal breakdown torque (approximately 200 percent) with ± 10 percent acceptable voltage variance.
• Abrasive resistant insulation and stator thermostats (an internal protective device).
• The horsepower rating of 15% higher than the recommended operating horsepower (ideally use a
service factor of 1.15 to maintain a continuous horsepower level).

TC51 200 (250)

TC66 250 (350)

TC84X 450 (600)

Table 6-1: Motor Selection Guide

6.12 Piping Information


Refer to the piping and lubrication drawings for piping connections and location. The types of lubrication used
for a Cone Crusher is given in section “Lubricant Specification” on page 14-1. Generally, the piping layout
varies with each site and local conditions.
Important factors that influence the piping layout are as follows:
• It is recommended to keep the pipeline short and as direct as possible.
• It is recommended to keep the pipes clean. Remove chips and cuttings from all pipes before operating
the lubrication system.
• Check all pipes for leaks. Any leakage in the oil suction line leads to lowering the pump efficiency.
• Install unions at suitable locations to enable maintenance activities on equipment like oil pump, filter,
cooler, etc.

6.13 Installation
If the Cone Crusher is shipped in separated sub-assemblies, the arrangement is listed below.
The following sub-assemblies of the Cone Crusher are shipped separately:
1. Main Frame Assembly (includes socket assembly, eccentric assembly and countershaft assembly)
2. Head Assembly
3. Upper Frame and Bowl Assembly
4. Tramp Release Cylinder
Once the main frame assembly is grouted to the foundation, the sub-assemblies of the Cone Crusher are
installed on it.

CAUTION
CAUTION WHILE USING CRANES
• One of the most common Cone Crusher safety violations is the use of inadequate and
unsafe lifting device.
• The internal parts of the Cone Crusher must only be assembled and disassembled with
crane facilities that are capable of lifting and lowering the various parts of a Cone
Crusher.
• Operate the crane within the rated capacity. The safe rated capacity includes weight of
the hook, block and any material handling devices such as cables, slings, spreader bar,
etc.
• To find the true weight of the load which can be handled safely, subtract the weight of the
hook, block and any material handling devices such as cables, slings, spreader bar etc.
• Consider chain blocks as the last option to assemble and disassemble the Cone Crusher.

CAUTION
CAUTION WHILE USING MOBILE CRANES
• When using a mobile crane, operate it within the rated capacity of the machine to avoid
buckling the boom or tipping.
• Safe ratings are based on operating the crane on firm, level ground.
• Avoid fast swings, hoists or sudden braking as this can cause overloads.
• Do not handle large, heavy loads in strong winds.
• While moving the crane, check bridges before crossing.
• Check clearance under bridges, for overhead electrical lines or any overhead obstruction.

CAUTION
CAUTION WHILE USING LIFTING EQUIPMENT
• Lift all Cone Crusher components using equipment with slow and even movements.
• Always comply with maximum load regulations for the equipment.
• Add the weights of the hoisting accessories such as chain, hooks etc. to the Cone
Crusher weight.

NOTICE
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
For specific bolt torques requirements refer to the “Torque Specifications” on page 19-1.

The radial oil grooves in the socket liner are 0.59 in (15mm) deep when the socket liner was “new”. When the
socket liner is replaced as follows:

NOTICE
SOCKET LINER REPLACEMENT
The socket liner must be replaced when the grooves in the liner wear down to a 0.16 in
(4mm) depth.
1. Remove the cap screws that secure the socket to the mainframe.
2. Install the three (3) jackscrews in the tapped holes in the socket flange.
3. Uniformly heating the mainframe around the socket fit to 38°C (100°F) above ambient temperature. The
heating of the mainframe is required to protect it from damage when removing the socket.
4. Alternately tighten each jack screw a small amount to prevent binding in the mainframe.
5. Continue tightening the cap screws until they bottom in the threaded holes.
6. Back out the cap screws far enough to insert a steel block under each cap screw. Continue tightening
the cap screws until the socket is free of the mainframe.
7. Place the socket upside down on timbers or other suitable supports.
8. Place a 4" x 4" wooden block against the socket liner and hit against the wooden block with a heavy
hammer. Keep hitting the liner, moving around the bore, and alternately hitting the liner at one point and
then at a point on the opposite side, until the liner drops free.
9. Make sure that the socket liner-seating surface on the socket was not damaged (dents, nicks, etc.)
when the socket liner was removed. These must be ground flush!
10. Then turn the socket over and center the new liner over the drilled holes in the socket. To prevent the
socket liner from turning, should the socket liner lose its interference fit, Babbitt will be poured in the
holes of the socket liner and socket after the liner is seated.
11. Place a wooden block directly over the top of the socket fit, as the liner has an interference fit with the
socket, and hit against the block with a sledgehammer or heavy ram. See Table 6-3 on page 6-14 for the
proper amount of interference between the socket liner and the socket. Force the liner in place a little at
a time, moving around the perimeter of the bore and alternately hitting the bock at one point and then at
a point on the opposite side.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Lubrication Power Unit (LPU)

7.10 Lubricant
The lubricant used must be gear oil with EP properties. The viscosity index must be 90 or higher, resist
foaming and have anti-wear additives. Use the proper oil viscosity grade depending on the specific ambient
operating temperature. For more details refer to “Lubricants” on page 14-1. The oil reservoir holds approx.
500liter (132 gal.) for TC36, TC51, and TC66 models and 900 Liter (238 gal.) for TC84X model. Additional oil
is required to fill the lines, filter, and cooler the first time.

7.11 Start-Up
Check the rotation of the motor before starting the lube system which is clockwise viewed from the fan end.
The minimum oil temperature in the oil tank before starting must be 16°C (60°F). Tank oil temperature is
controlled with immersion heaters which engage at tank temperatures below 22°C (72°F) and disengages at
27°C (80°F). Running the crusher with lube oil too cold could result in excessive relief by-pass and reduced
oil flow to the crusher.
When all of the above have been checked, start the lube system and circulate the oil through the crusher at
least one minute before starting a crusher. This will ensure that all bearing surfaces are lubricated before they
begin spinning.

1. Normal inlet oil temperature: 38-54°C (100-130°F). Preferred range: 38-41°C (100-115°F)
2. Ensure the 90% oil into crusher when oil temperature 27-35° C (80-95° F); if the oil temperature is above
38° C (100° F), all oil must be into the crusher.

7.14 Recommendations
For Ambient Temp. above 40°C (100°F)
1. Chevron Oil - Use “Gear Compound EP” gear lube oil or “TEGRA Synthetic Gear Oil”
2. Texaco Oil - Use “Meropa EP” gear lube oil or “PINNACLE EP” synthetic oil.
3. Mobil Oil - Use “600” series gear lube oil with EP additive or “SHC” synthetic oil with EP additive.
For Ambient Temp. below 40°C (100°F)
1. Use good quality petroleum-based oil with EP additive. Consult your local lubricant specialist for a
recommendation.
2. For ambient temp. consistently below 0°C (32°F), use 3 tank heaters in the lube tank to get the crusher
starting oil temperature close to 16°C (60°F).

7.15 Lubrication Sensors (Optional)


1. LPU Supply Oil Pressure Sensor: Its purpose is to monitor the pressure in the supply lines. The system
monitors this to indicate the bushings are getting properly lubricated.
2. LPU Supply Oil Temperature Sensor: This RTD is used to monitor the supply oil temperature to the
crusher. It is located between the oil cooler and the crusher. If the oil temperature reaches or exceeds
54°C (129 °F) a warning is set to notify the operator.
3. LPU Return Oil Temperature Sensor: This RTD is used to monitor the return oil temperature leaving the
crusher. If the oil temperature reaches or exceeds 54°C (129 °F) a warning is set to notify the operator
and the feed conveyor is stopped. If the oil temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F) then the crusher must be
stopped.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)

8 Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)


8.1 Introduction
The clamping, cavity clearing, bowl locking, and bowl adjustment are functions of the crusher operated
hydraulically. The upper portion of the crusher is clamped to the lower portion of the crusher using tramp
cylinders. These same cylinders are used to clear the crusher by supplying pressure on the piston side of the
cylinders. The bowl is locked to the adjustment ring using clamping cylinders (these cylinders are inside the
adjustment cap and cannot be seen from outside the crusher).
The bowl is screwed into the clamping ring and adjustment ring. The clamping cylinders when pressurized
create a locking force between the adjustment ring, clamping ring, and bowl threads. This prevents the bowl
from turning while crushing.

8.2 Receiving and Inspection


When the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is delivered, thoroughly check for damage that might have occurred
during transport.

NOTICE
INSPECTION
Inspect the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) before proceeding with the installation.
Do the following during inspection:
• Note any damage on the shipper's bill of lading and have the deliverer sign your description of
any problem(s).
• Keep a copy of the marked-up bill of lading for your files.
• Take photos if possible.
• File a claim with the carrier within 30 days of receipt of the equipment.
• Check loose parts, small parts boxes, and tools against the packing list to make sure that all items
shipped are present.

8.3 Level Requirements


Comply with the following requirements while installing the HPU in an upright position:
• Level tolerance of base should be within ±1 mm / 1m. Use a level gauge to check the level.
• Make sure that the base is flat.

Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
Once the HPU is placed in an upright position, it has to be welded or fastened by bolts onto the level base. If
the cabinet is fixed directly onto a floor, comply with the following requirements:
1. The level tolerance requirement shall be the same for both the base and floor.
2. The lower layer of the floor has to be firm and concrete to meet the tolerance requirement while filling
the soil (especially while using the insulating layer and adhesive agent).
3. The floor shall have the loading capability over 20kN/m2 (compression for the floor from top to bottom).

DANGER
RISK OF PERSONNEL INJURY OR DEATH
ONLY PROPERLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WITH THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD INSTALL AND MAINTAIN THE HPU. THE PERSONNEL
SHOULD WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY HEADGEAR, GLOVES, SHOES, AND
GLASSES WHILE PERFORMING THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. EXTREME
CAUTION IS REQUIRED WHEN PERFORMING THE INSTALLATION.
IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE EQUIPMENT CAN LEAD TO EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING
PERSONNEL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The cable laying should be guided. Cross wiring may cause electric shock or fire accidents.
Make sure that the cables are clean. Dirt or debris on the cables at the exit of the HPU may
cause short-circuit, leading to personal injury or equipment damage.
In case of fire involving electrical equipment, use only carbon dioxide fire extinguishers or

WARNING
PERSONNEL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
While dismantling the HPU, there is a risk of damage to the wooden box. Improper
handling can cause equipment damage or injury.
After completing the installation of HPU, clean the work area, to prevent equipment
damage.

8.4 Lifting Requirements

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Follow local codes and guidelines in addition to your company safety procedures when
handling HPU. To avoid personal injury and structural damage to the HPU, never attempt
to lift or move the HPU by any means other than those listed in this publication.
The following guidelines are provided to avoid personal injury and equipment damage during handling, and to
facilitate moving the HPU at the installation site.
Due to varying HPU configurations, several different shipping skids are used. To prevent distortion and
minimize the tipping of the HPU during the moving process, the shipping skid must remain bolted to the HPU
until it is delivered to its final installation area.
Handle the HPU carefully to avoid damage to the units, columns, and paint. Keep the HPU in an upright
position. The HPU should not have been tipped or laid flat during shipment. Before moving the HPU, make
sure that the route is clear of all obstructions and that fellow worker are a safe distance away.

8.4.1 Forklifting

DANGER
RISK OF PERSONNEL INJURY OR DEATH
SECURE THE LOAD/HPU, IF NECESSARY. IMPROPER USE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT
OR LIFTING MAY LEAD TO FALLING OF EQUIPMENT, CAUSING EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.

Figure 8-2: Moving HPU

The HPU has shipping skids that facilitate the insertion of lift truck forks, with fork access from each side. To
use the forklift for lifting the HPU, proceed as follows:

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Ensure that the forklift truck can handle the weight and size of the HPU safely. Shipping
weights can be found on the packing slip included with each shipment.
1. Use the Forklift only from underneath the shipping skid. Use the skid to support the load with the
appropriate safety factor. Carefully position the HPU on the forks for proper balance, note that the HPU
is top and front-heavy. Make sure that the forks support the load. Keep the load against the carriage. Tilt
the load backward toward the lift truck's mast.
2. Use a belt to secure the HPU to the forklift truck.
3. Start and stop the forklift truck gradually and slowly, avoiding jerky movements. When traveling with the
load, drive slowly with the forks carried as low as possible, consistent with safe operation.

8.4.2 Overhead Lifting (Crane or Hoist)


Overhead lifting is the recommended method for moving the HPU, supplied with lifting angles. HPU bases
are provided at a lifting angle.
1. Attach rigging to the overhead crane, hoist or similar lifting device.
2. Do not pass ropes or cables through the support holes in the lifting angle. Use slings with load-rated
hooks or shackles.
3. Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for any unequal weight distribution of the load and
support the HPU in an upright position.
4. Reduce tension on the rigging and compression on the lifting angle by ensuring the angle between the
lifting cables and the vertical plane does not exceed 45 degrees.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)

8.5 Hydraulic Oil Specification


For this hydraulic power unit, use high-grade paraffin (not naphthalene) base industrial oil of viscosity
specified below, having high film strength, high affinity for and adhesiveness to metal surfaces, and stable
chemical and physical properties. Such oils should have a high viscosity index, rapid water separation, resist
foaming, offer some rust and corrosion protection, resist oxidation and have anti-wear additives. Correct oils
meeting the specifications are essential for the protection of the working parts in the power unit. They are
available from all major oil companies. Improper oils can ruin the parts and their use will void any warranties
pertaining to the power unit.
Refer to “Lubricant Specification” on page 14-1 for hydraulic oil specification.

NOTICE
HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
Do not use fire-resistant hydraulic fluids as these hydraulic systems are not designed for
the use of such fluids.

8.6 HPU Installation


1. Mount the power unit in a location not to exceed 30 feet / 9 mm from the crusher. The unit should be
placed in the proper location so the operator can see the clearing cylinders and the adjustment cap.
2. Install the electrical wiring to the junction box located on the side of the unit. The main switch is included
with the unit but the electrical connection must be supplied by the customer and installed to conform to
local electrical codes. See the electrical schematic for proper customer connections. Do not supply the
power to the unit until all the components are connected and the reservoir is filled.
3. Refer to “Hydraulic Hose Connection To Crusher” on page 8-20 for hose connections from crusher to
HPU manifold.
4. After the wiring of the power, unit has been completed and before starting the power unit, the pump
rotation must be checked. The correct rotation of the electric motor is counter clockwise when viewing
the back of the motor (looking at the motor fan). Bump the motor to verify rotation.

8.7 Operation of Power Unit


The pump on the power unit is a pressure compensated piston pump set to give maximum flow while using
full motor HP. This means that as the pressure required goes up, the flow will go down and maintain a power
draw. This will allow the operator to adjust the crusher as quickly as possible without over-loading the power
unit electric motor.
To install the bowl initially, switch the “Crush/ Service” selector switch on the operator control box to the
“Service” position. This will release any pressure to the clamping cylinders and allow the bowl to turn freely in
the clamping and adjustment ring. Depress the push button that is labeled “Bowl In”. At this time, the
hydraulic brake on the hydraulic gear drive will release and the motor will begin to turn the bowl in. Each\
revolution of the bowl lowers the bowl 50mm (approx. 2”). Once the bowl is in the proper position, release the
“Bowl In” push button and turn the selector switch to “Crush”. The clamping cylinders will then pressurized
and lock the bowl to the adjustment ring.
The base of the tramp cylinders are attached to the adjustment ring and the rod of the tramp cylinders are
attached to the mainframe. While crushing, hydraulic pressure is always trying to retract (collapse) the tramp
cylinders thus keeping the adjustment ring in place. If a non-crushable object enters the crushing cavity, the
adjustment ring will try to lift and pass the object. The hydraulic pressure in the tramp cylinder will exceed the
internal relief valve setting on the cylinder and allow the cylinder to extend to pass the tramp material. Once
the material has passed, the hydraulic pressure will now be lower than the designed operating pressure and
the power unit will start, re-pressurize the tramp cylinders to the proper value and then stop.

NOTICE
PRESSURE RELEASE
Always release system pressure before working on a hydraulic system.

8.22 Hydraulic Troubleshooting

Trouble Shooting

PROBABLE CAUSES COMMENTS/CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

Excessive Ring Bounce


Tramp cylinder pressure too low 1. Check that power is being supplied to Hydraulic Power Unit
2. Look for leaks in the tramp cylinder circuit
3. Check the pressure switch (PS3-Sch) setting. PS3 should close
125 bar (1800 psi). PS4 should close at 140 bar (2000 psi).
4. Check the pressure reducing valve (PRV2 -Sch). The Pressure setting
should be150 bar (2175 psi).
5. Check main relief (RV1- Sch). The Pressure setting should be 207 bar
(3000 psi).
6. The Needle valve (NV2 -) is not closed tightly. Tighten valve.

Low Clamping Pressure


Low Clamping cylinder pressure 1. Look for hydraulic leaks in the clamping cylinder circuit.
2. Needle valve (NV1- Sch) is not closed tightly, tighten it.
3. Check the charge on the hydraulic accumulator ACC-1(Sch). Switch
the “Crush/Service” selector switch on the operator control box to the
“Service” position, and then set the pressure to 100 bar (1450 psi)
4. Check the pressure switch (PS1-Sch) setting. PS1 should close
172 bar (2500 psi). PS2 should close at 193 bar (2800 psi).
5. Check main relief (RV1 -Sch). The Pressure setting should be 207 bar
(3000 psi).

Cannot Turn Bowl for Adjustment


No pressure to hydraulic motor 1. Check for pressure at gauge port G5 & G6. You should get system
pressure 207 bar (3000 psi). If not, check electrical connections to
gear drive solenoid valve.
2. Defective main relief valve (RV1). Replace it.
3. Defective pump or motor. Replace it.
4. Check clamping cylinders are releasing.
5. Clean dirt / fines from bowl / adjustment & clamping ring threads.
6. Apply grease to threads at bowl / adjust/clamping rings.

No pressure to hydraulic brake 1. Check for pressure at gauge port G4. You should get system pressure
(pressure to release) 207 bar (3000 psi). If not, inspect shuttle valve SH1

integration and troubleshooting:
1. Lubrication Power Unit (LPU)
2. Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)
3. Crusher Junction-Box
4. Main Crusher Primary Panel (PP)
The sensor and control signals of each subsystem are connected via terminals to designated I/O on the
remote I/O modules. The sensor and control data is then communicated back to the primary panel (PP) PLC
via the field bus. Typical field bus protocols include Ethernet/IP, Device net, Profinet, or Profibus. The primary
panel PLC executes the control logic program to provide proper operation and protection to the TC Cone
Crushers and all its associated subsystems.

9.1.2 Lubrication Power Unit (LPU)


The LPU is a remote rack that is linked via Ethernet/IP or Profinet from the Primary Panel PLC. The LPU
circulates lubrication oil throughout the crusher. The lubrication system acts to minimize the friction and
control the temperature generated at the interface of any working parts. The LPU is equipped with various
pressure, temperature, level, and flow sensors. During the crushing process, this unit will maintain optimal
running temperatures, by either heating or cooling the oil depending on the current system running conditions.

9.1.3 Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)


The HPU is a remote rack that is connected via Ethernet/IP from the Primary Electrical Panel PLC. The HPU is
used to provide the required force necessary to hold the position and adjust the close-side-setting (CSS) of
the bowl, tramp cylinders, and adjustment ring clamping mechanism. The HPU is equipped with various
pressure, temperature and level sensors as well as the solenoid valve assemblies.

9.1.4 Local Control Panel


Provides an operator with limited monitoring and control capabilities of system-critical functions. It allows for
manual adjustment of the close-side-setting (open/close of the bowl), clearing, and manual re-pressurization
of key HPU circuits. This box is usually mounted with switches, toggles, push-buttons, and LEDs.

Control System Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
9.1.5 Crusher Junction Box
The crusher junction box is a remote rack that is connected via Ethernet/IP or Profinet from the Primary Panel
PLC. This remote rack's only purpose is for data monitoring. This panel collects information directly related to
the internals of the crusher such as temperatures and pressures. It then translates this readout to an
electrical signal that can be understood by the PLC.

9.1.6 Main Crusher Motor


The main crusher drive motor will be controlled by the plant control system, however, there is a link between
the Crusher PLC and plant control system for handshaking, alarms and some interface tags to start and stop
the crusher motor. The link is via a Fibre optic (FO) and Modbus TCP protocol.

9.1.7 Human Machine Interface (HMI) - Optional


The HMI is an operator control console which allows remote control of the entire crusher and its sub-systems
via a digital interface control. This system can either be requested with a touch screen and/or a desktop
version that must be connected to a keyboard, mouse, and additional monitor. This system allows the user to
trend and store data that can be later assessed to help analyze how changes influence crusher performance
based on these recorded metrics. The HMI also tracks machine runtime for all motors which can be used to
determine when individual motor maintenance may be required or estimations to the current wear life left on
the bowl and liner.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Control System

9.2 Control System Description


The crusher primary panel serves as the centralized location to control the entire crusher. The crusher primary
panel houses the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) which preforms the following actions:
1. Receives and processes all input signals from sensors, devices, and HMI commands.
2. Runs through its logic functions, executing outputs to control external devices, as defined in the control
logic narrative for each input and output point.
3. The plant control system accesses the crusher control panel PLC through the data such as the Ethernet
switch or direct messaging. A control interface allows for control and status monitoring from a remote
terminal/station. The data interface presents system information, such as sensors readings, motor
monitoring, faults monitoring, etc.

9.2.1 Programmable Logic Controller


A programmable logic controller is a specialized computer used to control machines and associated
processes. No matter the brand of the PLC there is a central processing unit, input modules, output modules,
and a programming device. The most basic function is to receive the external device or sensor signals as
inputs. When an input is activated, the PLC will react based on internal programming. This programming will
then drive output or reaction from the PLC to affect the process or any other connected device. Some
advantages to using a PLC over other programming device are the PLC has a very little downtime in between
running different programs, they can be programmed Off-line, and are not time-constrained. If a program calls
for the PLC to perform output in 10ms, it will perform the output in 10ms. Unlike some systems that contain
extra delays that prevent timely executions of functionality.
Siemens Compact Logic has been used on TC Series Cone Crushers.

9.2.2 Input / Output Modules


The I/O system provides the physical connection between the equipment and the PLC. It's important to have
sufficient I/O capability in a PLC system. It's better to have more than less so that when more I/O points are
required at a future time, it's easier to write the existing spare I/O points into the software (since the hardware
is already there). There's no harm to the operating system in having spare I/O points; the software can be
programmed to ignore them, and these points will have a negligible effect on the PLC's scan time.

9.2.2.1 Inputs
The input module has two functions: the reception of an external signal and status display of that input point.
In other words, it receives the exterior sensor signals and provides signal conditioning, termination, isolation
and/or indication for that signal's state. Input devices can consist of digital or analog devices. A digital input
card handles discrete devices that give a signal that is either on or Off such as a push-button, limit switch or
selector switches. It can range in input channels as few at 16 points up to 32 points of management. An analog
input card converts a current (4 to 20mA) into a digitally equivalent number that can be understood by the
PLC. Some examples of analog sensors are pressure transducers, flow meters and thermocouples for
temperature readings such as RTD PT100 temperature sensors.

Control System Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
9.3 HPU Control System Sensor Description (Optional)
Sensors used for data monitoring are located within the cone, HPU and LPU.
1. HPU Tramp Pressure Sensor: This pressure sensor has a range of 0 to 400 bar. Its purpose is to
monitor the pressure in the supply line to the Tramp cylinder. If the pressure falls below a specified
threshold an alarm is sent to notify the operator.
2. HPU Clamp Pressure Sensor: This pressure sensor has a range of 0 to 400 bar. Its purpose is to monitor
the pressure in the supply line to the clamp cylinder. If the pressure falls below a specified threshold an
alarm is sent to notify the operator.
3. HPU System Pressure Sensor: This pressure sensor has a range of 0 to 400 bar. Its purpose is to monitor
the pressure in the HPU. The system monitors this line to indicate overall system pressure; it is also
used during the calibration process of the bowl when zeroing the close-side-setting.

9.3.1 Lubrication Power Unit (LPU) Sensors (Optional)


1. Oil Filter Differential Pressure Transducer: These pressure transducers monitor the pressure difference
between the inlet and the outlet sides of the oil filter assemblies. The pressure difference increases as
the filter become dirty and clogged, If differential pressure reaches or exceeds.
2. LPU Tank Oil Level Sensor: The sensor is a continuous guided wave radar level sensor. When a low
level is read, a warning will be displayed and logged to the HMI to notify the operator of this condition.
Upon a low-level reading, a warning will be displayed indicating that oil should be added. If a low-low
reading is found; the system will stop crushing, only if the required temperature, pressure, and flow are
not seen by the system sensors
3. LPU Tank Oil Temperature Sensor: The sensor is a PT100 RTD and has a temperature measurement
range of -30 to 150 °C. This RTD is used to monitor the oil temperature inside the tank. The oil
temperature must reach a minimum temperature before the crusher motor is allowed to start. If the oil
temperature reaches or exceeds 60 °C an alarm is sent to notify the operator.
4. LPU Return Oil Flow Sensor: The return flow sensor is a smart sensor that is able to detect the
difference between the flow of varying viscosities, such as fluids, water or oils and even gas. Its purpose
is to monitor the return oil flow from the crusher. It will give an analog value back to the controller, so that
the alarm set point can be adjusted for each application. If oil flow is low for 8 seconds an alarm is set
and the feed is stopped.
5. Feed Oil Temperature Sensor: The sensor is a PT100 RTD and has a temperature measurement range
of -25°C to 100°C. This RTD is used to monitor the oil temperature entering the crusher. It is located
between the oil cooler and the crusher. If the oil temperature reaches or exceeds 54°C an alarm is set to
notify the operator and the feed needs to be stopped.
6. Return Oil Temperature Sensor: The sensor is a PT100 RTD and has a temperature measurement
range of -25°C to 100°C. This RTD is used to monitor the oil temperature leaving the crusher. If the oil
temperature reaches or exceeds 54°C an alarm is set to notify the operator. If the oil temperature
reaches or exceeds 56°C the feed needs to be stopped, then the crusher has to be stopped.
7. Feed Oil Pressure Sensor: This pressure sensor has a range of 0 to 16 bar. Its purpose is to monitor the
pressure of the oil entering the crusher. If the pressure reaches or exceeds 1.2 bar an alarm is set to
notify the operator and the feed needs to be stopped. If the pressure falls below 1.0 bar an alarm is set
to notify the operator and the crusher motor needs to be stopped

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Control System

9.3.2 Cone Crusher Sensors (Standard)


1. Crusher Ultrasonic Cavity Level Sensor: This is a self-contained ultrasonic sensor that provides a non-
contact method of detecting the level of material being fed into the crusher bowl. This sensor is
designed to work well in harsh and dusty environments, by monitoring the material level inside the bowl.
The speed of the feeder is controlled to maintain optimum choke feed level while in operations.
2. Crusher bowl position adjustment gear sensor (Zt301): These sensors used to detect movement of the
bowl for CSS adjustment.

9.3.3 Cone Crusher Sensors (Optional)


1. Crusher Vibration Sensors (VT401, VT402, VT403, VT404): The vibration sensor is a tri-axial
accelerometer with a measurement range of 0 to 81.3 mm/s, and is designed for vibration monitoring in
harsh industrial conditions. The unit is hermetically sealed and includes a water and oil resistant
environmental boot. This accelerometer is used to measure the vibration of the adjustment ring
assembly.
2. Crusher Countershaft Speed Sensor: The proximity sensor is an inductive sensor which accurately
detects metallic objects, and is specially designed for industrial applications. The sensors are used to
detect the belt slip between the countershaft and motor or if the coupling has failed. Speed is also an
indirect measurement to detect countershaft bearing wear. During shut down, if the coasting time to stop
becomes shorter; this can be indicative that an issue with the bearing has developed.

9.3.4 Control System Local Operating Panel


Power: When the LED is active, the local control cabinet has power-on. If this LED is blinking this indicates
that the HPU powered, but the HPU motor is locked-out. This lock-out can be removed via the HMI manual
screen.
Local/Remote: Used to locally control the crusher. When the toggle is in the “local” after the control room
permission position the HMI is temporarily locked out, and the crusher can only be adjusted via the local
station. Once in the “remote”/ default state, the crusher can then be manipulated via the HMI again. To
activate the local mode, permissive is required from the control room operator, then Remote LED on the local
panel will be OFF.
Bowl Direction Open/Lock/Close: When this switch is turned to the “Open” position, the Closed Side
Setting (CSS) increases, the bowl will rise. When the switch is turned to “Close” position, Closed Side Setting
(CSS) decreases, the bowl will lower. After releasing the switch, it will automatically move back to LOCK.
Clearing ON/Off: When the switch turns to ON, the bowl raises to clear the crushing chamber. After releasing
the switch, it automatically resets to Off. If clearing is started, when the ON is released a timer will (re)-start for
5 minutes, temporarily preventing the HPU motor from being used until the crusher has settled back down via
gravity. At any point during this process, the clear ON can be reused to restart the clearing sequence.
Auto Tramp Press ON/Off: If toggled will automatically re-pressurize the tramp circuit no matter where the
pressure is in the sequence.
Remote: When this LED is active, it indicates that the HMI has main control, NOT the local control board.
Low Tramp Pressure: When ON, the tramp pressure is lower than the system set point.
Low Clamp Pressure: When ON, the clamp pressure is lower than the system set point.
Bowl Drive Pressure: When indicating light is on, it states that the metal to metal has contacted while
calibrating.
Dirty Filter: When indicating light is on, it states the difference of internal and external pressure of filter is
abnormal. This indicates that it is time to change the filter.
System High Temp: When indicating light is on, it states oil temperature is higher than the system setting.
Oil Level Warning: When indicating light is on, it states the liquid level of oil tank is lower than system the
setting.

10 Commissioning and Operation


The Cone Crusher is generally used as a machine of an overall plant system. Specific equipment start-up
procedures depend on the particular plant and the material flow as well as the type of controls used. Always
refer to controls schematics and information received along with the equipment for start-up and operation.

10.1 Operation Safety

WARNING
RISK OF PERSONNEL INJURY
Before start-up make sure that there is no personnel near the Cone Crusher. Read and
understand the operating instructions before proceeding with start-up.
Do not perform any check, adjustments or repairs while the Cone Crusher is in operation.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
It is very important to check the direction in which the drive motor is rotating before placing
belts on the drive sheave. Crusher countershaft rotation must be driven counter-clockwise
as viewed from the drive end. Rotating the countershaft in the wrong direction will cause
damage to the crusher.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Make sure that there is sufficient oil in the lubrication and hydraulic system. Running the
Cone Crusher without oil leads to severe damage to the components.

10.5.4 Preparations Starting After Maintenance


Do not rely on memory to perform required periodic maintenance, keep an accurate written record. Before
initially starting the crusher, or starting the crusher after the rework, perform the following operations:
1. If this is an initial installation, be absolutely certain that the “initial start-up check sheet” has been filled
out, and signed OFF. Many of the points on this check sheet can also be used for crusher start-up after
major maintenance work.
2. Check that the lubrication and hydraulic system is functioning properly. Be sure that the crusher, lube
system, and piping have been filled with the correct oil.
3. Check that the Hydraulic Power Unit is working properly.
4. Check that the mantle is not striking the bowl liner and that there are no other mechanical difficulties by
rotating the countershaft by jogging the electric motor.
5. Make a final inspection of the crusher to be certain that there are no mechanical obstructions, that all
fasteners and pipe connections are properly tightened, and that there are no oil leaks.
6. After all the previous steps have been completed, perform the checks described next, under “Before
Starting Check”.

at the beginning of your shift. Walk completely around the machinery and inspect it. Check for warning and
LOTOTO tags. If something needs attention now, do not run the machinery until it is fixed. Do not let
unauthorized personnel operate the crusher.

WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Do not start the crusher with feed material inside the crusher. This can result in serious
personal injury or severe damage to the equipment.
1. Walk around the machine and ensure that no one is in, on, under, next to, or near the crusher.
2. Look for LOTOTO tags, warning tags, and notices. Observe all safety decals on the crusher and related
components.
3. Warn all personnel nearby that you are starting the crusher.

10.5.6 Starting The Crusher

WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Do not introduce any feed to the crusher before or during starting. This could result in
serious personal injury or severe damage to the equipment.
A typical starting procedure is as follows:
1. Start the oil pump on the Lubrication System. Check to be certain there is oil coming from the drain line
inside the oil tank and that there is at least 0.35 bar (5 psi) at the supply line at the crusher.
2. Start the Hydraulic Power Unit. Be sure that the “Local/Remote” selector switch is in the “Remote”
position, and the indicator light, “Tramp Pressure/Clamping Pressure/Lube Pressure/Crush are correct
on the power operator control cabinet and the CSS is correct.
3. Start the crusher drive (electric motor) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Check the countershaft rotation.
5. Check the countershaft speed (RPM).

10.5.7 Immediately After Starting the Crusher Inspect


1. Check all instruments and gauges to be sure everything is operating properly.
2. Test all controls for proper functioning.
3. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations.
4. Before Feeding the material into the crusher:
a. Let the crusher run no load for at least a minute.
b. The temperature of supply oil at the crusher inlet to be at least 21 °C (70 °F).

10.5.8 During Operation


1. Maintain proximity of 1.5 m (5 ft) from the crusher when it is running.
2. Do not stand on the adjustment ring when the crusher is running.
3. Do not lean or place your hands against the hydraulic cylinders or accumulators around the outside of
the crusher while in operation.
4. Never stand or look directly over the feed hopper while the crusher is running. Rocks and material can
be ejected out of crusher with great force.
5. Return oil temperature should not exceed 54 °C (130 °F); temperature difference between supply oil at
the crusher inlet and return oil not to exceed 6°C (11 °F).

1 Head 4 Crusher Setting (Closed Side)

2 Mantle 5 Bowl Liner

3 Parallel Zone 6 Bowl

Figure 10-3: Crusher Setting

The crusher setting depends on the size of the product required. In most instances, the bowl should be set so
that the opening between the mantle and bowl liner, on the closed side, measures a distance slightly less
than the maximum size of the product desired. In addition to re-setting the bowl when changing the size of the
product, it is also necessary to adjust the bowl due to wear on the crushing members. The initial setting as
determined by the size of the product desired is not a guarantee that this is the best setting for maximum
production. This depends at times on the characteristics of the material to be crushed, on the power draw of
the crusher motor or engine or on adjustment ring action. The setting of the crusher is changed by either
lowering or raising the bowl in the adjustment ring, by turning the bowl assembly clockwise to lower and
counter-clockwise to raise. Lowering the bowl reduces the setting, raising the bowl increases the setting.

Table 10-4: Discharge Settings

Check the crusher setting by fastening a ball (wad) of aluminium foil to the end of strong, flexible wire and
inserting the aluminium foil slowly downward into the crushing cavity with the crusher running empty. Make
sure that the aluminium foil passes through the parallel zone of the crushing members. Then quickly withdraw
the aluminium foil and measure the thickness, this will give the setting of the crusher. If necessary, reset the
bowl assembly to the desired closed side setting. To determine if the crusher setting is the same all around
the crushing cavity, it is suggested that a ball (wad) of aluminium foil be inserted into the crushing cavity at
four (4) different locations, each 90° apart. Comparing the four (4) thickness will show at a glance if the
adjustment ring is sitting level on top of the main frame or if the adjustment ring is tipped due to wear on one
side of the crusher because of improper feed distribution. See section feed arrangement for the correct
method of feed.

1 Bowl 3 Adjustment Ring

2 Clamping Ring

Figure 10-4: Bowl Thread Engagement in clamping ring and Adjustment Ring

To install the bowl assembly in the crusher using a mobile crane or an overhead crane, proceed as follows:
1. Rig suitable lifting cables from the crane to the adjustment cap lifting lugs and lift the entire bowl
assembly over the crusher.
2. Turn or rotate the bowl assembly until the square cut-off ends of the bowl and clamping ring threads are
in alignment with each other.
3. Turn the operation selector switch on the operator control cabinet to local, turning the bowl direction
switch to close will dump the clamp pressure to zero and rotate the hydraulic bowl drive to wind the bowl
into the clamping.
4. Then lower the entire bowl assembly into the clamping ring and turn the bowl threads into the clamping
ring threads a short distance.
5. Lift the entire bowl assembly a slight amount. By lifting the bowl ever so slightly, the bowl will float in the
clamping ring and adjustment ring threads as shown in Figure 10-4 on page 10-16, floating position.

10.5.16 Adjusting the Bowl (Using Hydraulic Adjustment)


For adjusting the bowl and to turn the bowl in or out of the adjustment ring use the hydraulic motor assembly
mounted on the adjustment ring. The hydraulic motor assembly rotates the bowl to the desired setting by
engaging “teeth” on the large diameter adjustment gear around the adjustment cap.

10.5.17 Minimum Setting


Under no circumstances should the crusher be set closer than the recommended minimum setting for that
particular type of cavity. Operating at less than the minimum setting causes excessive adjustment ring
movement or bouncing, and produces an unsatisfactory product. This also places a strain on the crusher,
resulting in added maintenance costs. These settings are made in keeping with maximum production and
satisfactory crusher performance.
Refer Table 10-4 on page 10-15 for the discharge setting.

10.5.18 Difficulty in Turning the Bowl


If the bowl is difficult to turn, it is probably due to galling or excess wear damage of the thread surfaces on the
bowl, clamping ring, or the adjustment ring. Such thread damage can occur during the initial assembly of the
bowl in the clamping ring and adjustment ring. This damage is normally limited to the first full thread on the
bowl, clamping ring and adjustment ring, and appears on the flat surfaces of the threads. The metal shavings
created by the tearing of the lead thread can damage the remaining threads as this debris is carried along, as
the bowl is turned into the adjustment ring. Similar thread damage may occur in this manner when removing
the bowl. It is important to clean the “old” grease, metal shavings, and dirt fines mud off the thread surfaces
before re-assembly. To eliminate or minimize thread galling or tearing, use the following method of installing
and removing the bowl assembly:

1 2

5 2 4 3

1 Adjustment Cap Seal 4 Seal Retainer Ring

2 Adjustment Cap Seal Plates 5 Adjustment Cap

3 Socket Screws and Nuts

Figure 10-5: Cap Seal Adjustment

1. Turn the bowl, using an appropriate lifting device to “float” the bowl in the adjustment ring threads as
shown in Figure 10-4 on page 10-16.
2. Whenever performing any of these bowl turning procedures, the local/remote selector switch on the
operator control cabinet must be turned to local. Considerable force might possibly have to be exerted in
order to "break" the bowl loose in the locking collar and adjustment ring. One or a combination of any of
the following faulty operating conditions could cause the bowl to become difficult to turn within the
locking collar and adjustment ring:
• Not lubricating the bowl, clamping ring and adjustment ring threads at recommended periodic
intervals.
• Worn or improperly installed adjustment cap seal (Refer Figure 10-5).
• Operating the crusher at the same setting for too long a period of time, without occasionally
releasing the bowl from its crushing position and rotating the bowl back and forth.
• Locating the crusher where it is exposed to the weather, particularly rain, without maintaining the
adjustment cap seal.
The following suggestions may eliminate the possibility of experiencing a bowl that is difficult to turn in the
adjustment ring:

or two full 360 ° rotations of the adjustment gear.
2. Add grease in the grease fittings located around the perimeter of the adjustment ring and clamping ring
(if equipped) while the bowl is in the adjustment ring. Establish a maintenance schedule for forcing
grease into these fittings. Refer “Lubricants” on page 14-1.
3. At the time of initial installation or whenever the bowl is removed, clean the threads and coat them with
the dry film lubricant recommended in “Lubricants” on page 14-1.
4. Periodically check the adjustment cap rubber seal for wear.
If the bowl does become stuck in the adjustment ring and the bowl cannot be rotated by ordinary means,
proceed as follows:
1. While the crusher is operating, feed a quantity of material or short lengths of lumber (4 x 4 in or 4 x 6 in)
[102 x 102 or 102 x 152 mm] into the crusher with the bowl in the released position. The bowl
adjustment selector switch must be turned to service and the crusher cavity selector switch must be
turned to crush.
2. Pour penetrating oil around the entire circumference of the bowl threads. Fill a grease gun with
penetrating oil and force this penetrating oil through the grease fittings in the adjustment ring. The
penetrating oil should loosen any packed dirt that may have filtered into the thread clearances and also
loosen any rust that may have formed.
3. Try again using the hydraulic motor mounted on the adjustment ring to turn the STUCK bowl, however, it
should be noted that the hydraulic motor is not designed to remove a stuck bowl.
4. With the adjustment ring(tramp cylinders fully extended) in the raised position and the safety blocks
properly installed, jog the crusher by applying short spurts of power to the crusher drive motor or engine
to clear the crushing cavity. If this procedure does not get immediate results, let the crusher stand for
several hours while periodically applying Oil around the threads.

Figure 10-6: Determining Liner Wear

The following information will be very helpful when trying to determine when the liners have worn to a point
where replacement is necessary on the initial set of liners, keep “track” of liner wear as follows:
1. After the mantle and bowl liner have worn out, but before moving the bowl within the adjustment ring,
paint a short horizontal line on the adjustment cap seal shell which is bolted to the bowl assembly.
2. The “line or mark”, should be painted on the shell, near the hydraulic motor, so the crusher operator can
easily see the wear reference mark.
3. The mark painted on the adjustment cap seal shell will show when the liners are approaching the wear
limit as the adjustment cap moves downward with each change in the CSS setting.
Because each type of liner (Fine, Medium, Coarse, and Extra Coarse) has a different thickness, and each
crushing installation may require a different “crusher setting”, it is very difficult to predict the distance the bowl
adjustment cap shell will travel downward on a crusher.

Figure 10-7: Grease Fittings

1. Grease fittings are evenly distributed around the side of the adjustment ring, providing lubrication to the
threads while the bowl is in the adjustment ring. Some TC crushers also have similar grease fittings
located around the perimeter of the clamping ring.
2. Grease should be forced into these fittings with a grease gun when the bowl is both in the crushing
position and the released position. Establish a maintenance schedule for forcing grease into these
fittings.

10.5.21 Clearing The Crushing Cavity

WARNING
CRUSHER STOP UNDER LOAD
No attempt should be made to start the crusher again until the entire crushing cavity has
been cleared. Attempting to start the crusher with the cavity full of material could result in
serious personal injury or severe damage to the equipment.
Some of the reasons a crusher stops under load are as follows:
1. Crusher drive motor or engine stopped because of power failure or lack of fuel.
2. Too much feed entering the crushing cavity causing the crusher to stall.
3. The discharge conveyor stopped (allowing discharging material to back up and plug the crusher from
underneath).
4. The gyrating crushing action of the head causes the material caught between the mantle and bowl liner
on the closed side to tip and raise the adjustment ring a small amount and stall the crusher.
5. On occasion, an oversize piece of “tramp iron” can become caught, or wedged between the crushing
members and cause the crusher to stall “Under no circumstances enter the crushing cavity when a
piece of tramp iron is wedged between the bowl liner and mantle”.

Figure 10-8: Clearing the Crusher Cavity

To clear the crusher of plugged material, or to remove tramp iron wedged between the bowl liner and mantle
always use the hydraulic tramp system, proceed as follows:
1. Stop the feed to the crusher.
2. Shut the POWER OFF to the crusher motor or engine as quickly as possible. Lockout and tagout & try
out the equipment.
3. Warn or inform personnel of what is occurring.
4. Check the oil level in the sight gauge on the side of the Hydraulic Power Unit.
5. Be sure there is proper clearance above and around the crusher.
6. Check that the Hydraulic Power Unit is On.
7. Turn the operation selector switch on the service control cabinet to local. Then select the clearing switch
to ON. The tramp/clearing cylinder rods will extend to raise the upper frame assembly and bowl
assembly to its maximum height, no longer resting on the main frame. In most cases, this will allow the
plugged material to fall through and clear the crushing cavity. If the cavity does not clear after the ring
has been fully raised, insert the safety blocks provided with the cavity tramp system, between the
bottom of equally spaced clamping/clearing cylinders and on top of the cylinder mounting ribs on the
main frame flange (See Figure 10-8 on page 10-21).

WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
One of the most dangerous operations around a crusher is the removal of tramp iron that
has jammed in the crushing chamber. Extremely severe injuries can occur by trying to
remove tramp iron.
Always use the hydraulic cavity tramp system to remove tramp material. Do not try to
loosen the tramp material with a pry bar as this could result in serious personal injury or
severe damage to the equipment.

8. When the safety blocks have been properly installed, retract the tramp cylinders so the upper frame
assembly and bowl assembly will rest on top of the safety blocks.
9. With the upper frame assembly and bowl assembly in the raised position and the safety blocks properly
installed, the tramp metal should free fall out of the crusher.

WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Do not place feet or hands on the tramp/clearing cylinders or in the space between the
upper frame assembly adjustment ring and the main frame.

WARNING
SAFETY BLOCKS
Always use the “safety blocks” when the upper frame assembly is in the raised position and
material is being removed from the crushing chamber. These safety blocks are used to
protect hands, arms, equipment, etc. from being caught between the crushing members, in
the event of a hydraulic tramp cylinder or system failure.
10. After the crushing cavity has been cleared, turn the clearing selector switch on the operator control
cabinet to fully raise the upper frame assembly using the tramp cylinders, then remove the safety
blocks.
11. Turn the auto tramp pressure switch to ON selector switch. The upper frame assembly will now lower
and return to its seating surface on the main frame seat liner. The upper frame assembly/adjustment
ring may lower with a slight tilt. This is normal, turn the operation selector switch to remote.
12. Resume normal crushing.

11.3.2.1 Outer Eccentric Bushing Assembly


Pre - Installation Check:
1. Before installing a new outer eccentric bushing, inspect the main frame bore for scoring or rough spots.
These must be smoothed out.
2. Also check the bore to be sure that it has not worn oversize or shrunk undersize, due to the presence of
heat. Measure the main frame bore from bottom to top.
3. Removing the main frame cap will expose an area in the bore that has been unaffected by wear or heat,
since the cap projects about 1/2” (12 mm) inside. Using an inside micrometer placed in the bore, about
1/4” to 3/8” (6 mm to 10 mm) from the bottom of the frame, will give the original bore diameter.
4. Once this dimension has been recorded, measure the entire length of the bore, checking about every 6"
(150 mm). At the same time check for out-of-roundness by swinging the micrometer 90° to the first
measurement. Measure and record these diameter readings.
5. With a bore that has shrunk unevenly, the high spots can be ground off to the correct diameter. If the
bore has pulled in to the extent where hand grinding is no longer practical, the entire main frame bore
must be machined out to the original diameter. Also, in case the frame bore has worn out-of-round, it
should be re-machined concentric, even though the diameter would be increased. Contract Weir Trio
engineering for re-machining assistance.
6. When a bore has either been worn or machined oversize, contact Trio for the purchase of a special
oversize bushing, giving re-machined bore dimensions so that the bushing can be machined to the
proper tolerances.
7. Outer eccentric bushings are machined to provide a metal-to-metal or a few thousandths loose fit in the
main frame bore. Should a bushing have such a metal-to-metal fit or be out of round because of
improper storage or shipment, the following procedure using dry ice is recommended.
Installation Using Dry Ice:
1. Paint or scribe a line down the side of the bushing to aid in aligning the side entry oil hole and cored
pockets in the frame.

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY
Wear protective gloves when working with the frozen objects.
2. Pack the bore of the replacement bushing with dry ice to shrink the bushing. About 250 pounds (115 Kg)
is required to adequately pack the inside of the bushing providing some sort of filler is used in the center
of the bushing. As an example, a 6" x 6" wooden timber leaves enough area around it on the inside of
the bushing for an adequate amount of dry ice to shrink the bushing. Cooling time should be
approximately two hours.
3. Wrap the outside of the bushing with several layers of burlap to prevent the external build up of frost
which would hinder the installation of the bushing in the main frame. Wrapping also helps to achieve a
more thorough cooling.
4. Do not use this method of installation to overcome a main frame bore that has closed-in.
5. Measure the outside diameter of the bushing and the bore of the main frame to determine when the
bushing has cooled sufficiently.
6. Install eye bolts to the outer eccentric bushing and attach lifting slings to the eye bolts as shown in the
Figure 11-7.
7. Lift the bushing into position and center it in the top of the main frame bore. Use the line on the side of
the bushing for aligning the bushing with the cored pockets in the frame.
8. Quickly lower the bushing into the main frame.
9. The top of the bushing must be flush with the top of the frame when properly installed.

Installation using Ramming Method:


If dry ice is not available an alternate method using ramming can be employed. To install the bushing by
ramming, proceed as follows:‘
1. Paint or scribe a line down the side of the bushing to aid in aligning the side entry oil hole and cored
pockets in the frame.
2. Lift the bushing into position and center it in the top of the main frame bore. Use the line on the side of
the bushing for aligning the bushing with the cored pockets in the frame.
3. Place the steel plate used in removal, on top of the bushing and force the bushing into the frame by
ramming against the top of the steel plate.
4. The top of the bushing must be flush with the top of the frame when properly installed.
5. Remove lifting slings and eye bolts from the outer eccentric bushing.

a. There are two identical countershaft bushings-inner (pinion end) and outer (sheave end). The position
of the oil groove in the bushing with respect to the countershaft box changes between inner and outer
bushing.
i Inner countershaft bushing with the oil groove at the top of the countershaft box at 12 o' clock
position (refer to Figure 11-18).
ii Outer countershaft bushing with the oil groove at the bottom of the countershaft box at 6 o' clock
position (refer to Figure 11-18).
iii If it is positioned with vertical drive, then outer countershaft bushing with the oil groove will be at
3:00 o’clock position.
iv If the crusher drive motor is mounted above or below the crusher, then the 3-O'clock / 9-O'clock
positions are typically used. For a CCW shaft rotation, the 3-O'clock position; for a CW drive rotation
the 9-O'clock position (This is based on belt pull direction).

5. Hold the gear in this position while taking the measurements. Use only enough force as is required to
slide the eccentric assembly toward the pinion. Using excessive force could tip the eccentric assembly
and give incorrect readings.
6. Mark the gear where the backlash and clearance measurements were taken. Rotate the gear by turning
the countershaft and check the measurements again with the gear in a different position. Do this several
times and find the average readings.
7. The average backlash and root clearance is found to be less than that which is specified in the table
“Backlash and Root Clearance”, the eccentric assembly is to be removed and metal shims of proper

TC84X Head Mantle Installation Procedure
1. Examine threads on head shaft and cap. Remove any surface deficiencies, burrs, or nicks that exist.
Clean threads thoroughly and coat with dry film lubricant such as an anti-seize product.
2. Examine head seating surface. Remove any surface deficiencies, burrs, or high places on seating area.
3. Apply a light coat of lube oil to the bare head surface. This prevents backing material from sticking to the
head.
4. Place head assembly on a head stand or in a head pit. Make sure head assembly is levelled.
5. Install the lower mantle onto the head making sure it is centred. Confirm lower mantle is properly seated
on head seat angle by visually inspecting the two mating surfaces and using a 0.005” (0.127 mm) feeler
gauge to confirm proper fit and alignment of assemblies. Correct any fitments deficiencies prior to next
step.
6. After confirmation, continue by installing upper mantle making sure it is centered on lower mantle and
head assembly.
7. Install the torch ring. At this point, all three components should be properly centered and seated on the
head assembly

Pouring the Backing material
Epoxy backing material is a tough, resilient, non-metallic backing material, which is readily available in kit
form, in various sizes. The use of this type of backing material requires no special equipment, preparation or
handling. The material is not reusable and therefore is expendable with the worn mantle or bowl liner. The
backing material can be mixed right at the job site. Simple directions for mixing and pouring backing material
are included with each kit.

WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
Carefully follow the instructions and the precautions that are printed on the individual cans
of epoxy before mixing and pouring. Skin contact with epoxy may cause serious delayed
dermatitis. Avoid inhalation of vapour. Use ventilation, particularly if heated. Prevent all
contact with skin. If contact occurs, wash immediately with soap and water.
Place a bead of silicone at the bottom of the liner where it meets the head to insure no backing material leaks.
Allow the silicone to set up prior to pouring the backing material.
If the new mantle liner has pour holes then nothing more than pouring the epoxy needs to be done. Pour the
backing material into the provided pour hole. Lightly tapping on the liner to bring trapped air to the surface.
Pour the backing material until it is even with the pour hole(s).
If the new mantle liner does not have a pour hole then the main shaft nut needs to be removed.
Once mixed, it must be poured without delay. Subsequent mixes that may be required to completely fill the
cavity, can be poured at any convenient time. To pour the backing material, proceed as follows:
a. The backing material kits and the parts that require backing should be at room temperature prior to
pouring 13 - 35 °C (55 - 90 °F). If too cold, the backing material will harden slowly and will be too
viscous (thick) to fill small spaces. if too hot, there is a risk of mixture setting in the container, before it
is poured, the unopened container should be immersed in cool water before mixing.
b. For replacement of mantle re-check that the mantle bears tightly against the head by using a feeler
gauge all around the mantle seat. Should any openings exist due to wear on this area of the head, fill
these openings with tubes of silicone sealant using a caulking gun to keep the backing material from
leaking out during pouring.
c. Then fill the cavity behind the lower mantle with backing material below the top of the mantle.
Table 11-7 gives the approximate amount of backing material necessary to fill the cavity.

11.8.2 Bowl Assembly Installation
To assemble the bowl assembly, proceed as follows:
To prepare the bowl and bowl liner for the application of backing material, proceed as follows:
1. If epoxy backing is to be used, the bowl and bowl liner may have to be heated to remove all trace of
moisture.
2. Apply a light coating of lubricating oil to the inside of the bowl to prevent the epoxy from sticking to the
bowl.
3. Cut U-shaped inserts using a shears from fiberglass insulation, as shown in the Figure 11-108. The
paper backing should be left on the insulation while cutting and protective non-porous gloves should use
when handling this material. The size of the inserts will vary depending on the particular liner casting
used.
4. The material to be used is commercial fiberglass insulation. Material is 2" thick and is obtainable in rolls,
either 16" or 24" wide or from the factory, cut to size for immediate use.
5. Cut the length of the insert so as to provide minimum clearance of 1/2" between the bottom of the insert
and the edge of the bowl liner as shown in the Figure 11-108. Chamfer the corners of the inserts to allow
the backing material to flow easily around the inserts.
6. Remove the paper covering & position the inserts around the liner hooks as shown in the Figure 11-108.
7. Make certain that there is a minimum clearance of 1/2" between the bottom of the insert and the liner
seat. Any insulation caught between the bowl liner seat and the bowl will cause improper seating of the
liner.

8. Lower the bowl in position on the liner, being careful not to disturb any of the inserts as shown in the
Figure 11-109. When the bowl is properly located and centered, the fiberglass inserts will be
compressed as shown in the Figure 11-110. Fill all clearances and voids around the hooks with loose
fiberglass insulation and pack firmly in place using a wooden wedge or similar tools. If any backing be
allowed to seep in and harden around the liner hooks, difficulty in removing the worn liner will be
encountered.
9. If fiberglass insulation material unavailable, clay can be used as a substitute. When using either of these
two materials, the bowl is placed on the liner as soon as the bowl has been thoroughly cleaned of
previous backing material. Fill all the clearances and voids around the hooks, packing this material
tightly against the liner. If clay is to be used with epoxy backing, care should be taken that the moisture
content is kept quite low to prevent the epoxy from sputtering. Some dust infiltration into the hook
cavities can occur when a new liner is Installed in a worn bowl in extremely dusty operations. Additional
dust protection is possible by applying an asphaltic rubber solution over the fiberglass packing and the
adjacent bowl area.

Assembly Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher
Installation of “U” Bolt Lock Set and Epoxy(COPPS bushing Lock #K-113) Pouring, proceed as follows:
1. Install and tighten all the bowl liner “U” bolts as shown in the Figure 11-110. When these bolts are
securely tightened, the “U” bolt washers of rubber and fabric composition must be firmly compressed.
2. Check that the bowl liner bears tightly against the bowl by using a feeler gauge all around the liner seat.
Should any openings exist due to wear on this area of the bowl, pack these openings with clay, caulking
or glazing compound to keep the backing from leaking out during pouring.

WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
Carefully follow the instructions as well as the precautions that are printed on the individual
cans of epoxy before mixing and pouring. Skin contact with epoxy may cause serious
delayed dermatitis. Avoid inhalation of vapour. Use ventilation, particularly if heated.
Prevent all contact with skin. If contact occurs, wash immediately with soap and water.
3. Prepare the approximate amount of epoxy. Then pour the epoxy, filling the entire cavity behind the bowl
liner. A quick check at the hook openings will reveal whether any leakage of backing is taking place.
Packing additional fiberglass into the openings will remedy any leakage problems. If any of the epoxy
leak into the inner chambers of the bowl, it can easily be removed by chipping once it has hardened.
4. Recheck all bowl liner bolts for tightness after the epoxy has hardened, then place the rectangular lock
plate over the bolt nuts. Refer “Torque Specifications” on page 19-1.

Type 1

Type 2

1 Clevis Pin 3 Cotter Pin

2 Tramp Cylinder

Figure 11-116: Typical Tramp Release Cylinder Installation

The tramp release cylinders hold the adjustment ring firmly to the mainframe against crushing forces.
Excessive forces created by improper operation or by passing non-crushable objects causes the adjustment
ring to lift and pull the cylinder rods within the hydraulic cylinders upward. Oil is displaced from the cylinder
chamber into the accumulators further compressing the nitrogen gas within the accumulators. This
mechanism protects the crusher from damage. Additionally it provides the function for clearing materials in
the crusher cavity by pressurizing the non-rod chamber and lifting the upper frame clear to mainframe.
To install the tramp release assembly, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the all cylinders are de-pressurised.
2. Using an appropriate lifting device, lift the tramp release cylinder onto the mainframe and align the
bottom fork of cylinder onto mainframe boss.
3. Insert the lower clevis pin to lock the lower part of the tramp release cylinder to the mainframe. Insert the
cotter pin at the end of the lower pin to hold it in position.
4. Use a wedge in-between the bottom clearance to the mainframe or a strap hanging on the top to ensure
that the cylinder will not pivoted falling over.
5. Insert the upper clevis pin to lock the upper part of the tramp release cylinder to the upper frame
assembly. Insert the cotter pin at the end of the upper pin to hold it in position.
6. Once the tramp release assembly is installed, remove the lifting tools.
7. Repeat the steps 2 to 6 to install the remaining tramp release cylinders onto the mainframe and upper
frame assembly.

Whenever the countershaft box is out of the crusher for inspection or replacement of parts, inspect the pinion
for wear and/or chipped or broken teeth. Pitting or galling on the face of the teeth are indications of excessive
wear. This can be due to improper tooth contact resulting from an incorrect quantity of shims being placed
under the eccentric thrust bearing plate, by overloading the crusher or by using excessively dirty oil. If the
pinion is worn to the point where replacement is necessary (severe pitting/excessive backlash are evident),
the pinion is to be removed as follows:

The outer eccentric bushing is held in the mainframe by a bushing lock at the top. This lock must be removed
before the bushing can be pressed out. It is by far easier to break out the top of the bushing than it is to
remove the lock. Should it be desired to remove a bushing in one piece, the bushing lock must be drilled and
chipped out. Even the smallest piece of broken zinc or epoxy locking compound must be cleaned out before
pressing can begin. If the outer eccentric bushing is to be removed for replacement, proceed as follows:
5. Drill a series of 3/8” (10 mm) diameter holes, spaced 4" (100 mm) apart, in the wall of the outer eccentric
bushing. See the Figure 12-67 for removing bushing lock. Drill the holes to a depth corresponding to the
shoulder width of the replacement bushing.
6. Hold a steel bar at a 45 degree angle against the out side of the bushing and break the top of the
bushing into pieces by hitting the steel bar with a sledge hammer.
7. Break the top of the bushing away from the bushing lock all around the circumference of the bushing,
cleaning out all chips and fragments.
8. Cut a steel plate, to a diameter slightly smaller than the mainframe bore. A plate 2" (50 mm) thick is
required; several plates of thinner materials can be used to obtain this 2" (50 mm) thickness. Place the
plate against the bottom of the bushing as shown in the Figure 12-67.

9. A hex nut can be welded to the top of this plate and with an eye bolt threaded into the nut, connect the
eye bolt to a crane or suitable hoist. Pulling from the top, while jacking from the bottom, will help
considerably in removal.
10. Then cut a plate the same diameter as the mainframe cap also from 2" (50 mm) material torch cut three
holes in the plate the same diameter and on the same bolt circle as those in the mainframe cap. Three
holes must be spaced 120 degree angle apart.
11. Suspend the plate from the bottom of the main frame by three long studs. Place a 50 ton hydraulic jack
between this plate and the one placed against the bottom of the bushing. A substitute arrangement can
be utilized by placing a steel rail or beam, across the discharge compartment to provide a support for
the jack.
12. Force the bushing from the frame by exerting pressure with the jack and adding blocking whenever
necessary.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Lubricants

14 Lubricants
14.1 General Lubrication Information
The greatest single factor governing the life and efficiency of any piece of machinery, where friction is
encountered, is proper lubrication. Lubrication is critical to the Cone Crusher. The lubrication system provides
oil to the crusher components, protecting them from friction and heat. Not only does the lube oil prevent
metal-to-metal contact between internal components, it also acts as a coolant by carrying heat to the
reservoir where it radiates out from the machine.
Cleanliness in the handling of lubricants, fittings, grease guns, and the openings and plugs of housings is of
vital importance. Foreign substances contaminate lubricant. Be sure all fittings and openings are thoroughly
cleaned before starting to inject lubricant. In using a grease gun make sure the nozzle makes proper contact
with the cleaned fittings or openings and that the nozzle has not been allowed to touch uncleaned surfaces.
Never mix different brands or types of lubricant within the crusher. Always drain and flush out the old lubricant
before changing to a different brand as a chemical breakdown can occur in lubricant mixtures.

14.2 Lubricant Specification


Refer to Table 14-1 as a guide for the proper lubricants used on the Cone Crusher. If you do not have access
to the brands shown, see your lubricant distributor for an equivalent. The table lists at what ambient
temperature range to use a particular recommended lubricant specification. Contact Weir Trio representative
if questions arise concerning what specific lubricant must be used for your particular operating environment.

14.4 Lubricating System Oil Analysis
The following table shows oil contamination limits to assist in determining whether the oil must be changed or
not. Lubrication system oil analysis is also beneficial in that it can indicate, if some internal Cone Crusher
components may be failing.
To have accurate analysis, it is recommended to have a sample of the fresh oil you are using analysed to
establish a baseline for that oil.

Acceptable Parts Per Million High Parts Per Million


Contaminant

15.2 Decommissioning
Equipment needs to be retired from time to time. In other cases, equipment may need to be replaced to
increase plant production requirements. In either situation several things need to be planned and executed
before the equipment piece(s) can be removed.
This section assists the user with planning and executing the safe removal of the equipment. Check with the
local, state or provincial agencies to confirm that you are in compliance with all regulations and permits that
may be required for removal, transport of the equipment and / or disposal of waste products.

Trio® TC Series Crusher Decommissioning and Disposal

15.2.1 Task Involved


Confirm the total amount of equipment that needs to be removed to gain access to the crusher, e.g. bins,
hoppers, feed chute, conveyor(s), feeder and the related support structure(s), building(s) or structural etc.
Build a site plan that involves all aspects of the removal and includes all agencies or trades that may be
necessary. The following questions may assist as checklist for the required tasks.
• Are there overhead restrictions that will interfere with vertical removal of the piece(s) being
decommissioned?
• Does the crusher need to be dismantled for removal or transport?
• Will it require the use of the crusher's hydraulic system to assist with component removal? i.e.
bowl removal.
• Will it require tools, fixtures, lifting devices that are specific to the model of crusher being
removed? If so, most of these items were with the crusher at one time. Secure these items or
replace them to ensure safe dismantling.
• Is there adequate space to locate the crane(s) for equipment removal?
• Will the allowable space require a larger crane due to the distance from the crusher?
• Is there adequate space to locate the semi-trailer(s) to load the equipment on?
• Will the site require excavation or levelling to allow the removal of the equipment?
• Does the site require building modification or removal to allow the removal of the equipment?
• Confirm weights of all pieces and sub-components that are involved in the decommissioning and
prior to removal.
• Confirm rigging plans for each piece or sub-component that will require disassembly.
If the crusher is being relocated or sold rather than scrapped, develop a map or layout sketch of the crusher
and all auxiliary components as they are installed on the unit. Take adequate photographs and develop a
journal that will assist later in the installation or sale of the equipment.
All personnel involved with the dismantling / removal process should be adequately safety trained for the
risks and hazards they will be working in and around. Some agencies that offer this level of training are
MSHA, OSHA, CSA. Check ahead of time to make sure you avoid delays in your schedule later on in the
project. This should include hot work permits, fire watch, hole watch, etc.
Confirm that all contractors and sub-contractors are insured and / or bonded for their responsible task(s) in
the removal process. Insurance limits and coverage can vary. Make sure that the limits and coverage meet
the requirements of the job. This should also include the logistics and mobilization phases of the project.

15.2.2 Decommissioning Procedure


• If possible run the bin, feed chute, conveyor or feeder feeding the crusher empty of ore before
final operation of the machine.
• If not possible to run the material out of the system, additional planning should be considered to
confirm the safety of the personnel in the area against falling material and debris during removal
of the equipment. It may be necessary to remove the material above the crusher to prevent injury
from falling objects.
• Perform housekeeping, clean up around the crusher to allow access to the foundation bolts,
piping, guards etc. Remove all excess material from the work area that could lead to slips, trips,
falls or other accidents in the dismantling process or removal of the equipment.
• If possible, run the discharge conveyor to get rid of the ore from the work area.
• Lock Out Tag Out, "LOTOTO" the discharge conveyor. Confirm the energy is at zero.
• De-energise the crusher and all auxiliary equipment that is not required for the removal / tear-
down of the equipment being decommissioned.
• Remove all sources of energy and terminate them. LOTOTO the sources.
• Confirm the energy is removed and reduced to zero.
• Remove all overhead equipment, platforms, structures etc. that will interfere with the removal of
the crusher.
• Remove any auxiliary items that may be alongside or prevent the safe removal of the component
or assembly.
• Tie back or restrain any additional overhead restraints that are in the way, and may prevent the
safe removal of the component or assembly being removed.
• Remove all unnecessary hydraulic and lubrication fluids from the crusher's hydraulic, lubrication
units and cooling fan assemblies.

Decommissioning and Disposal Trio® TC Series Crusher
• Remove all piping and hoses that is attached to the crusher, hydraulic and lubrication units and air
/ oil coolers.
• Cap, Plug or Blank Off all connections where hydraulic and lubrication lines have been removed.
This should be done on the crusher, the hydraulic power unit and the lubrication system, and the
air / oil cooler(s).
• Control any leakage of fluids. The use of blotting cloths, oil-sorb, rags / cloths should be on site
and available.
• Immediately contain any spills. Report them if and as required to the proper agency.
• Confirm the fluids are properly labelled for handling OR have them immediately picked up by an
authorised waste oil hauler.
• Check to see if the crusher being dismantled utilises Nitrogen accumulators in the Tramp and
Clamp systems. As per DOT regulations, they must be de-pressurised before they can be
transported. Check the appropriate manuals and procedures on how to do this. A special gauge
and hose are necessary to safely perform this procedure and confirm the energy is at zero.
• Mark and Tag all parts and pieces that are to be reused if the crusher is to be reused or sold.
• Remove all auxiliary electrical junction boxes and keep them with the crusher components. They
should be included on the Bill of Materials / Shipping Documents.
• Remove all safety guarding and stack on a skid, a crate or suitable container.
• Remove the drive system from the crusher. This may be simple v-belts or include direct drives or
jackshaft drives. Confirm if the sheaves or couplings need to be removed from the crusher and
electric drive motor. Remove if necessary. Crate or skid the items for shipping.
• If more than one crusher is being removed, mark all related items separately for each crusher to
avoid issues when the crushers are installed in the future. This should include the crusher,
hydraulic, lubrication power units, cooling fan assemblies and all auxiliary electrical /
instrumentation components.
• From the component weights and the plan for dismantling, as described earlier in the procedure,
determine the load count for mobilization. This should allow you to remove and load out the
components onto trucks without re-handling. This dismantling schedule will require coordination
with the logistics schedule that will haul the respective loads.
• Mobilise the appropriate size crane and rigging to site. Coordinate this with the necessary trucks
and permit(s) that may be necessary to haul the load(s).
• Arrange an on-site meeting with the crane, rigging, logistics and on site trade(s) responsible for
removing the equipment. This meeting should be immediately before the lift to confirm that all
parties are ready and any safety concerns are eliminated.
• Remove the mechanical hardware that holds the crusher, lubrication skid, hydraulic skid and air /
oil coolers to their respective foundations. This should be done in advance of lifting only IF the
component will not tip or fall over once loosened from its foundation.
• Rig the piece to be removed. Confirm the crane and rigging is correct. Confirm the removal path
is free of obstacles.
• Confirm personnel safety in all directions up to and including barricading off the area and crowd
control.
• One supervisor should be appointed. He / she should control the lift and coordinate
communication between all of the trades involved in the lift.
• Once all concerns are eliminated, the area personnel are ready and confirmed, you may proceed
with the lift(s).
• Make certain that proper shipping fixtures / frames are available and suitable for the item that they
are to carry. If the head and mainshaft assembly are to remain in the crusher during transport, use
wooden blocks to secure the head to prevent damage.
• If wooden blocks are used to set components on, make sure the component(s) are sitting firm on
them. Care should be taken to ensure that the blocks are not sitting on flanges or head skirts that
could damage the component.
• Never set a component down on the bronze bushings. Example: Eccentric assemblies have
bronze bushings on the bottom side. They should rest on a suitable shipping skid and / or clean
plywood.
• If the crusher does not require dismantling for removal and transportation, wooden wedge blocks
should be installed in the crushing cavity. This is to prevent the head assembly from bouncing and
moving during transport.

• Locate and crate up all available installation manuals, drawings, parts books, service records that
may pertain to the crusher(s) you are decommissioning. If the manuals and drawings are to be
shipped with the crusher, secure them in a weatherproof box or container.
• Locate and crate up all tools, fixtures, lifting devices that were used to dismantle components of
the crusher. They should also be shipped with the crusher.
• Build a manifest / bill of materials to include the number of pieces, dimensional sizes and weights
for each piece to be shipped.
• If the crusher is large and requires dismantling into sub-assemblies, be sure to prepare all
exposed machined surfaces with heavy oil or grease to prevent rusting. Such surfaces include
Bowl Threads, Adjustment Ring and Clamp Threads, Main Shaft, Lower Thrust Bearing,
Eccentric, Gear, Pinion, Countershaft, etc. Surfaces that are not protected by paint need to be
protected by rust inhibitors to prevent corrosion. If possible, wrap these sub-assemblies in plastic
shrink wrap after applying the rust inhibitors.

15.3 Disposal

19.2 V-Belt Drive Information

19.2.1 General Belt Care


V-belts achieve more service life if kept clean and dry. Rock dust and rust from metals are abrasive. Oils and
acids deteriorate belt material. Dust and moisture on belts can cause slippage. Dust build-up in sheaves can
cause harmful vibration.
Belt dressing compounds are available and are sometimes used for various reasons. While they may be
used, belt dressing may actually shorten belt life. Clean, well-cared belts are the best way to manage the belt
problems. Daily cleaning of belts and sheaves by blowing them off with compressed air can increase their
useful life. Store unused belts in a cool and dry environment with no direct sunlight. Store on shelves or in
original containers. Do not allow belts to be bent to diameters smaller than what is recommended for the belt
cross section.

19.2.2 General Belt Recommendations


1. Keep belts and sheaves clean.
2. Avoid belt or sheave rubbing. Don’t let belts or sheaves rub against a guard (or anything else) while they
are running.
3. Drive belts with motors mounted on adjustable bases. This allows convenient and proper installation of
belts without prying on belts.
4. Keep belts properly tightened. Most belt stretch occurs in the first 30-40 hours of operation. Check belt
tension frequently during this period.
5. Do not over-tighten belts. Over-tightening shortens the useful life of belts and sheaves. This can also
cause premature bearing failures. Ideal belt tension is the lowest at which belts won’t slip under peak
loads.
6. Periodically inspect v-belt drives for wear on belts or sheaves. Refer to Figure 19-1 and Figure 19-2 on
page 19-7. Replace worn sheaves.

7. Keep belts straight. Don’t allow v-belts to run out of alignment. To run properly, sheaves must be parallel
and grooves must be in line. Refer to Figure 19-3.

Figure 19-3: Sheave Alignment

8. If a drive uses multiple belts, use only matched belts. A matched set of belts last longer and loading is
evenly divided among all the belts. Belts from different manufacturers must not be mixed in a set
because material differences could reduce belt life. Always replace belts in full sets.
9. Don’t overload belts. If the drive has 10 sheave grooves, use 10 belts. Using less than the designed
number puts stress on the remaining ones. This can cause premature failure.

19.2.3 Belt Drive Troubleshooting
Good maintenance practices must help you experience minimal trouble with belts and sheaves, however
there may be times when troubles are experienced. The following Table 19-3 can be used as a
troubleshooting tool.

Trouble Cause Correction

Belt Slip (sidewalls glazed) Insufficient tension Replace belts; increase tension

Drive squeals • Overloaded drive. • Find cause and correct.


• Arc of contact too short. • Increase distance between hubs.
• Heavy starting load. • Increase tension.

Belts roll over • Broken cord caused by prying. • Replace belt correctly.
• Overloaded drive. • Redesign drive.
• Impulse loads. • Apply proper tension.
• Misalignment. • Realign drive.
• Worn sheave grooves. • Replace sheave.
• Flat idler sheave. • Align and reposition.
• Excessive vibration. • Check drive design, mounting.
• Consider banded belts.

Mismatched belts • New belts installed with old. • Replace belts with matched set.
• Sheave grooves worn unevenly. • Replace sheaves.
• Improper groove angle. • Align drive.
• Shafts not parallel.

Belt breaks • Shock loads. • Apply proper tension.


• Heavy starting load. • Use compensator starting.
• Belt pried over sheaves. • Replace belt correctly.
• Foreign object in drive. • Determine source of object, design
guard to correct problem.

Belt wears prematurely • Sheave grooves worn. • Replace sheaves.


• Sheave diameter too small. • Redesign drive.
• Mismatched belts. • Replace with matched set.
• Drive overloaded. • Redesign drive.
• Belt slips. • Increase tension.

19.2.4.1 Tension-Deflection Method


1. Place a straight edge across the top of both sheaves. Refer to Figure 19-4 measure the span length.
2. Using a spring scale at right angle to belt at 1/2 of span length, apply a force to the scale on one of the
belts enough to deflect the belt 1/64 in per each in of span length.
Example: For a 100 in span, the deflection would be 100/64, or approximately 1-1/2 ines.
3. Compare the force measurement to the recommended ranges shown in Table 19-4 below for the
appropriate belt cross section type shown in.
4. Tighten or loosen belt to bring it into the recommended range.
5. When installing new belts, tighten them to “Initial Installation” tension. This tension will drop during the
run-in period.

19.2.6 Belt Idlers


A properly designed v-belt drive does not require an idler to deliver full horsepower if proper belt tension can
be maintained. Idlers must be avoided if possible because it puts additional bending stress points on the belt.
Due to drive design parameters, idlers are sometimes used. The following are general descriptions of the
types of idlers that may be used.

19.2.7 Inside Idler


A v-grooved idler located on the inside of the belts on the slack side of drive would be recommended over a
backside idler. The idler must be located near the large sheave to minimize reduction of the arc of contact on
the small sheave. The diameter must be equal to or larger than that of the small sheave.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Appendix

19.2.8 Backside Idler


A backside idler increases the arc of contact on both sheaves. However, it forces a backward bend in the v-
belt that can contribute to premature failure. The idler puts additional stress on the bottom portion of the belt
which will result in bottom cracking. If a backside idler must be used, the diameter must be at least 1 - 1/2
times the diameter of the small sheave. It must also be located as close as possible to the small sheave.

Figure 19-7: Backside Idler

19.2.9 Kiss Idler


A kiss idler differs from the backside idler because the kiss idler does not penetrate the belt span and create
a backward bend on the belt. A kiss idler does not contribute to premature belt failure. Use of a kiss idler can
help control belt vibration and whip on drives subject to shock and pulsating loads. If a kiss idler is used, the
diameter must be at least 1 - 1/2 times the diameter of the small sheave.

5. Open the general bleed (B).


6. Hand-tighten the tester and pressuriser to the pressurising valve.
7. Position the pressure gauge correctly and lock the connector by hand.
8. Close the general bleed (B).
9. Turn the adjusting knob (E) slowly and simultaneously observe the needle on the pressure gauge. Turn
the knob until the needle moves from zero (Half turn of the knob is sufficient. It is not necessary to turn
the knob until it locks).
10. Read the pressure on the pressure gauge.
11. To reduce the pressure, slowly open the general bleed; until the required pressure is obtained.

12. To increase the pressure:
a. Remove the knurled cap (D)
b. Connect the end of flexible tube to the port (C).
c. Connect the other end of flexible tube with proper male or female connector to the nitrogen source
and pressurise.
d. Maintain the following pre-charge pressure:
• The pre-charge pressure for the accumulator on the crusher is 83 +/- 3bar (1200 +/-50psi).
• The pre-charge pressure for the accumulator on the HPU is 69 +/- 3bar (1000 +/-50psi).

CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONNEL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Wait for the heat caused by the pressure movement to stabilise, before checking or
adjusting the pre-charge. For safety reasons, isolate the nitrogen source during the period
of stabilisation.

NOTICE
1. Correct the nitrogen inflation pressure P0, according to the operating temperature (refer
to the instruction of accumulator charging tool).
2. For the accumulator in 10~32L, the pre-charging pressure from 0~1.5bar should be at
least 40 seconds duration to avoid bladder damage.

19.5 Crushing Terminology

19.5.1 Description
Glossary of Terms and Definitions
The following list contains terms and definitions commonly used throughout this manual as well as in the
rock-processing industry.
Backlash:
Total clearance between pinion teeth and gear teeth at pitch line.
Bridging:
Material wedged or covering the feed opening of the crusher and preventing entry of additional material.
Capacity:
The output of the crusher computed in tons per hour.
Cavity:
The internal contour formed by the two crushing members (bowl liner and mantle).
Choke Feed:
A condition when the feed material completely fills the crushing chamber.
Closed Circuit Crushing:
The type of operation where uniformity of product size is important and the product is screened as it is being
discharged and the material that does not pass through the screen is returned to the crusher.
Closed Side Setting (CSS):
The distance between the bottom of the crushing members as measured at the point where the two crushing
members are at their closest relationship during their gyrating cycle. This closed side setting regulates
product size.
Crushing Chamber:
The area of the crusher where crushing takes place.
Discharge Opening:
The distance between the bottom of the crushing members measured at the point where they are at their
farthest relationship during their gyrating cycle. This opening permits rapid discharge of the crushed material.
Drive:
Any device used to transmit rotating force from the electric motor or diesel engine to the crusher countershaft,
v-belt or flexible coupling.
Drive Guard:
Safety enclosure for the drive with small opening (opposite countershaft with cover) for tachometer.
Feed:
The raw material which is to be crushed.
Feed Opening:
The opening of the crusher where the material enters the crushing chamber.
Feed Opening (Closed Side):
The smallest distance between the top of the crushing members as measured when the two crushing
members are at their closest relationship during their gyrating cycle.
Feed Opening (Open Side):
The largest distance between the top of the crushing members measured when the two crushing members
are at their farthest relationship during their gyrating cycle. The feed opening (open side) determines the
maximum size of feed.
Fines:
Material having particle size smaller than a specified screen opening. Fines are equal to or smaller than
closed side setting.
Finished Product:
The resultant material after it has been processed.

Trio® TC Series Cone Crusher Appendix

Friable:
Material that fractures easily.
Gradation:
The range of sizes contained in a sample of rock.
Grizzly:
A heavy duty screening surface consisting of a series of spaced bars, rails, or pipe members which may be
stationary or vibrating.
Liners:
The bowl liner and mantle are the crushing members and are commonly referred to as liners.
Minimum Discharge Setting:
The smallest safe distance between the bottom of the crushing members as measured when the two
crushing members are at their closest relationship during the gyrating cycle.
Open Circuit Crushing:
The type of operation where uniformity of product size is not considered to be of prime importance and the
feed is run through the crusher only once.
Oversize:
Material that will not pass through a specified screen opening.
Parallel Zone:
With the liners in their closest relationship during the gyrating cycle, the lower portion of both the bowl liner
and mantle, for some distance, will be parallel to each other. This area is known as the parallel zone.
Plugging:
Excessive fine material causes crusher to stall.
Product Size:
The size of screened material after it has been crushed.
Reduction Ratio:
Relationship of the top size of the feed material to the top size of the desired crushed product.
Scalping:
Removing from crusher feed most of the undersize material.
Top Size:
The largest particle size in the feed or product.
Tramp Material:
Material in the crusher feed that contains wood, clay, pieces of rubber belting, iron or steel, difficult (hard) to
crush material or oversize material, causing the crusher to stall.
Yield:
Product at the desired size or sizes.“Accumulator Charging Instruction” on page 19-14“Accumulator Charging
