Defining the problem
When visiting the site, the FLS team discovered that the crusher feed contained a very high percentage of fines, which intensified wear. The liners would lose the crusher OSS Setting very quickly, and consequently, each concave campaign required an average of five sets of mantles. Site was purchasing their liners from a 3rd party company, who was not able to provide an optimal solution to the ever-increasing cost of maintenance and parts and subsequently reached out to FLS to review their operation.
The team was tasked with providing a solution that would extend mantle life and so reduce the number of times the crusher had to be taken out of service for maintenance.
