A method for lifting an inner wear part of a gyratory or cone crusher and an inner wear part lifting tool for use with the method. The gyratory or cone crusher has a frame, an outer wear part fixable to the frame and the inner wear part fixable to a support cone of the crusher which outer and inner wear part define a crushing chamber. The inner wear part has an inner surface including a first inner support surface arranged, in a crushing phase, to be supported by a first counter surface of the support cone. In a first phase, a lifting arm of a lifting tool is arranged inside the inner wear part and under the inner surface of the inner wear part. In a second phase, an upper second counter surface of the lifting arm is coupled with a second inner support surface of the inner wear part.

A gyratory crusher crushing shell having a mount face for contacting a support region of the crusher and a crushing face to contact material to be crushed and passing through the crushing zone. The crushing shell includes a plurality of wedges project radially from the crushing surface, the wedges being spaced apart in a circumferential direction around the axis to define channels extending axially between the wedges.

A head nut assembly for securing a mantle on a mainshaft of a gyratory crusher and a gyratory crusher. The head nut assembly includes a cylindrical threaded part and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is arranged to engage with the threaded part. The mainshaft has an elongate body and an intermediate portion arranged on the elongate body. A mantle is secured on the mainshaft, the mantle being arranged to form a crushing chamber of the gyratory crusher. The head nut assembly is arranged to secure the mantle on the intermediate portion of the mainshaft.

An apparatus (2) and a method for attaching a cone-shaped crushing mantle (4) of a cone crusher (100) to a carrier cone (6) of the cone crusher (100) and for detaching the crushing mantle (4) from the carrier cone (6) are provided. The apparatus (2) comprises a hydraulically actuated pre-tensioning actuator (24) adapted for pressing the crushing mantle (4) against the carrier cone (6) in a pre-tensioning process in the axial direction prior to tightening attachment screws (18) in the head region (20) of the carrier cone (6). The hydraulic pre-tensioning actuator (24) comprises a pressure chamber (26) for receiving a pressurized hydraulic medium and a piston (28) limiting the pressure chamber (26). The hydraulic pre-tensioning actuator (24) is applied externally to a pressure plate (10) during the pre-tensioning process, such that a piston rod (36) of the piston (28) or a rod-shaped element attached thereto extends through the central opening (14) of the pressure plate (10) and is attached to the head region (20) of the carrier cone (6), wherein the pressure chamber (26) and the piston (28) of the hydraulic pre-tensioning actuator (24) are located on a side of the pressure plate (10) opposite to the carrier cone (6). The hydraulic pre-tensioning actuator (24) may be released and removed from the pressure plate (10) outside the pre-tensioning process.

A gyratory crusher topshell and topshell assembly including an outer crushing shell and optional intermediate spacer ring. The topshell has a radially inward facing surface that is divided into a plurality of regions including an upper and lower mount region axially separated by an intermediate annular rib. The rib enables the topshell to be compatible with a variety of different sized and shaped concaves optionally using an intermediate spacer ring without the need for a backing compound.

A mantle clamp configuration designed to lock the mantle in place on a rock crusher includes a clamp plate assembly with a clamp plate with holes; a plurality of clamp bolts that are inserted through the holes; and optionally a dust cover with dust cover bolts. The configuration also may also include modified original equipment manufacturer (OEM) assembly including modified locking collar; new locking collar bolts to accept the clamp bolts; and burn ring modified to fit the overlying clamp plate.

A gyratory crusher shell has an annular wall extending around a longitudinal axis. A plurality of ears project radially outward from an annular rim of the topshell with each ear including a respective lug to sit within a corresponding recess at an annular rim of the topshell to rotatably lock the crushing shell at the topshell.

A rock crushing device includes a housing with a plurality of walls defining a chamber that has an upper inlet and a lower outlet. At least one of the walls is movable relative to another wall to define a primary compression assembly for crushing rocks within the chamber via mechanical force. There is an auxiliary crushing assembly connected with at least one of the walls to deliver a vibratory force to at least one wall for crushing rocks within the chamber. The auxiliary crushing assembly is operable together with the primary compression assembly or independent of it.

A cone crusher apparatus having a bowl liner removably mounted within a bowl. A wedge is radially adjustable between an inside surface of the bowl and an outside surface of the bowl liner. The wedge moves radially between a rotation-preventing position and a rotation-permitting position. In the rotation-preventing position, the wedge is in simultaneous abutment with the bowl and bowl liner and through that simultaneous abutment immediately develops a maximum holding force such that relative motion between the bowl liner and bowl in a first rotational direction is prevented. In the rotation-permitting position, the wedge is not in simultaneous abutment with the bowl and bowl liner and at least some relative motion between the bowl liner and bowl in the first rotational direction is permitted.
