| 20080203203 | Bearing for a shaft of a gyratory crusher and method of adjusting the gap width of the crusher - A gyratory crusher includes a crushing head on which a first crushing shell is mounted, and a frame on which a second crushing shell is mounted. The second crushing shell defines, together with the first crushing shell, a crushing gap. The gyratory crusher includes a space adapted to hold a liquid. The space is defined by a piston and a cylinder, any one of the piston and the cylinder being formed at least partly of a substantially vertical shaft around which the crushing head is arranged. The space is adapted to form, together with the liquid, a cushion, thereby enabling the cushion to serve as a thrust bearing and transmit vertical forces from the crushing head to the frame. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080290200 | Inner shell intended for a gyratory crusher, and method of attaching such a shell on a crushing head - An inner shell has a first part of a lug-notch arrangement, which first part is arranged to co-operate with a second part of the arrangement to prevent rotation of the inner shell relative to a crushing head. The inner shell has a contact surface in its upper portion and is arranged to be pressed towards the lower portion of the crushing head by a pressing force which is obtained by tightening at least two threaded bolts, which are arranged in the upper portion of the crushing head such that their longitudinal direction is substantially parallel to the symmetry axis of the crushing head. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090256013 | Crushing apparatus and method of putting it into operation - A crushing apparatus has a gyratory crusher, which has an inner shell, an outer shell and an eccentric. A lubricating system is arranged to conduct a lubricant to at least one movable part, such as the eccentric of the gyratory crusher. The lubricating system has an oil sump, which collects the lubricant after it has been used for lubrication of the movable part, and a valve mechanism, which is arranged to apportion a lubricant flow in the crusher. The valve mechanism is arranged to assume a first position, in which a first sub-volume of the lubricant flow is conducted directly to the movable part for lubrication of the same and a second sub-volume is conducted directly to the oil sump, the second sub-volume constituting from about 30 to about 100% of the lubricant flow, and a second position, in which at least about 90% of the lubricant flow is conducted to the movable part for lubrication of the same. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090283616 | Anti-spin assembly - An anti-spin assembly is arranged in a gyratory crusher. The anti-spin assembly includes an expandable braking receptacle, which is adapted to be expanded by way of a pressure medium. The braking receptacle is arranged in a space between a first surface formed on a part which rotates with the crushing head and a second surface formed on a non-rotary part which is connected to the frame bottom part. The braking receptacle is arranged, when expanding, to engage both the first and the second surface, thereby braking the rotation of the crushing head. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090294559 | Assembly and method for restricting spinning in a gyratory crusher - A crusher system includes a gyratory crusher, which has a crushing head, on which a first crushing shell is mounted; a frame, on which a second crushing shell is mounted; and a driving device, which is arranged to cause, by means of a rotating eccentric, the crushing head to execute a gyratory movement for crushing material. The crusher system includes a device for generating a signal that indicates the current tendency of the crushing head to spin; a device arranged to establish, based on the signal, a maximum allowable rotational speed for the eccentric; and a device arranged to adapt the rotational speed of the eccentric to a rotational speed that is lower than the maximum allowable rotational speed. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100155518 | Central shaft for a gyratory crusher - A central shaft for a gyratory crusher, which includes a crushing head on which a first crushing shell is mounted; a frame on which a second crushing shell is mounted, which second crushing shell defines, together with the first crushing shell, a crushing gap; and a driving device, which is arranged to rotate an eccentric about said central shaft and thereby to cause the crushing head to execute a gyratory movement for crushing of material that is introduced in the crushing gap. The central shaft has a cavity in which are accommodated an anti-reverse and a torque limiter, the anti-reverse and the torque limiter being adapted for connection to said crushing head for restricting spinning. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100163660 | GYRATORY CRUSHER WITH ARRANGEMENT FOR RESTRICTING ROTATION - A gyratory crusher has a crushing head on which a first crushing shell is mounted, a frame on which a second crushing shell is mounted, and a driving device, which is arranged with a rotating eccentric to cause the crushing head to execute a gyratory movement for crushing of material. The crushing head is connected to the frame of a rotation-restricting arrangement, which comprises a beater in a tank. Spinning of the crushing head is restricted by the beater being braked, during operation of the crusher, by a liquid contained in the tank. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100270409 | Gyratory crusher, outer shell intended therefore and methods for mounting and dismounting the outer shell - A gyratory crusher has an outer shell, which is attachable in a frame having a frustoconical supporting surface, which is facing obliquely downwards and inwards. The outer shell has on the outer surface a collar, which has outer lugs, which are movable, from below, past the supporting surface and between inner lugs of a ring. The inner and outer lugs have mutually corresponding contact surfaces, which are adapted, by relative rotation of the ring and the outer shell, to be positioned opposite each other and, upon lifting of the ring, to lift also the outer shell so that a lower portion of the outer shell abuts the supporting surface of the frame. The contact surfaces of the inner and outer lugs are arranged such that lifting of the ring causes the outer lugs to be lifted by means of the inner lugs and brings the inner and outer lugs into radial abutment against each other. | 10-28-2010 |
