Skimping on Crusher Maintenance Costs More in the Long Run
Eric Jones, global service director of comminution aftermarket for Weir Minerals, recently offered some useful guidelines and suggestions for ensuring top performance from crushers. Jones, noting that crushers operate at high power, force and capacity in order to produce the required material, explained that this puts a great deal of strain on the crusher and its wear parts, which operators must be aware of when carrying out maintenance. Failure to do so may have a high impact, both in terms of financial cost and potential loss of production. The maintenance plan may differ slightly, depending upon the machine, but most follow an initial 40-hour schedule post commissioning, followed by regular 250-hour inspection/maintenance intervals throughout the annual cycle. Within these intervals, there are prescribed tasks one will need to carry out. If operators do not follow a maintenance plan and carry out daily inspections, it can have detrimental effects on the crusher.
