Proper maintenance of cone crusher increases equipment life

Cone crusher is an indispensable equipment in stone crushing lines, artificial sand and mining. To maintain performance and prolong machine life, proper and regular maintenance is key. In this article, Nguyen Vinh will share the secret to help you maintain cone crusher effectively, ensuring stable operation for a long time.

1. The importance of cone crusher maintenance

Cone crushers operate in harsh environments, subject to great pressure from rocks and hard materials. Therefore, if not properly maintained, parts are susceptible to wear and damage, leading to reduced productivity and increased repair costs.

Regular maintenance helps:

  • Maintains optimum grinding performance.
  • Prevent unexpected technical problems.
  • Extends the life of components such as conical shafts, bearings and grinding wheels.

2. Steps to properly maintain a cone crusher

2.1. Check the lubricating oil periodically

Lubrication system is an important factor determining machine durability.

  • Test time: Check lubricating oil level daily before operation.
  • Type of oil used: Choose the right oil for your home manufacture.
  • Note: Change oil after 250-300 hours of operation or when oil shows signs of deterioration.

2.2. Clean and check the oil filter system

Dirt can clog the lubrication system, causing damage to moving parts.

  • Maintenance: Clean the oil filter weekly or replace if necessary.
  • Check: Make sure oil is not leaking from pipes or fittings.

2.3. Check the wear of the grinding jaws

The grinding jaw is the part that comes into direct contact with hard, easily abraded materials.

  • Test frequency: Check every 500 hours of operation.
  • Solution: Replace the grinding jaw when the thickness drops beyond the standard.

2.4. Check and maintain the cone shaft

The cone shaft is the main load-bearing part and is susceptible to failure if not properly lubricated and aligned.

  • Work to be done:
    • Check shaft wear and straightness.
    • Lubricate shafts and bearings regularly.
  • Note: Replace bearings when there are signs of unusual vibration or noise.

3. Periodic maintenance process over time

TimeMaintenance work
DailyCheck lubricating oil, oil filter system.
WeeklyClean the entire machine, clean the oil filter.
MonthlyCheck grinding jaw and bearing wear.
6 monthsChange oil, check all mechanical systems.

4. Signs that require immediate maintenance

  • The machine vibrates abnormally.
  • Loud noise from the shaft or grinding wheel.
  • Lubricating oil temperature is abnormally high.
  • The machine suddenly loses productivity or the crushed material does not meet the requirements.

5. Benefits of proper cone crusher maintenance

  • Cost savings: Reduce repair and replacement costs.
  • Increase productivity: Ensure the machine operates stably and efficiently.
  • Environmental protection: Minimize oil leaks and waste into the environment.
