What are the parts of a crusher?

Crushers are used in various industries to break down large rocks, concrete, metal, and other materials into smaller, more manageable pieces. While the specific parts of a crusher can vary depending on the type and manufacturer, here are some common components which suit to metso crusher models:

1. Feed Hopper: Which is the material to be crushed is loaded into the crusher.

2. Feeder: The feeder regulates the flow of material suit to the metso crusher wears.

3. Jaw Crusher or Gyratory Crusher:

    Jaw Crusher: Composed of a set of vertical jaws, one jaw is kept stationary and is called a fixed jaw while the other jaw, called a swing jaw, moves back and forth relative to it by a cam or pitman mechanism.

    Gyratory Crusher: Consists of a cone-shaped mantle and a bowl liner in an inverted conical arrangement.

4. Conveyor Belt: Transports the crushed material away from the crusher to be processed further or stored.

5. Vibrating Screen: Separates crushed material into different sizes based on particle size.

6. Crushing Chamber: Through the mantle and concave then the rocks are broken down into smaller pieces suit to the metso cone crusher parts.

7. Bearings: Used to support the rotating or moving parts of the crusher, reducing friction and allowing smooth operation.

8. Drive System: Provides the power necessary to rotate the crusher components.

9. Lubrication System: Ensures that the moving parts of the crusher are lubricated to prevent wear and tear.

10. Control Panel: Allows operators to control the crusher's operation and monitor its performance.

11. Dust Suppression System: Helps to control the spread of dust generated during the crushing process.

12. Wear Parts:

    Jaw Plates/Concaves/Mantles: These are consumable components that need to be periodically replaced as they wear down during the crushing process.

    Blow Bars: Found in impact crushers, these are high-wear parts that are often replaced to maintain efficient crushing.
