A bi-metallic swing hammer for a particulate size reduction system includes a shank portion. The shank portion has a first end having a mounting portion for attachment to a wheel assembly of the particulate size reduction system, a second end defining a shank tip, and a face surface extending from the first end to the shank tip. The bi-metallic swing hammer includes a wear pad cast to the face surface of the shank portion. The wear pad extends from the shank tip to the first end of the shank portion up to the mounting portion. A method of constructing a bi-metallic swing hammer for a particulate size reduction system includes casting a wear pad and a shank portion together to bond the wear pad to the shank portion.

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 jaw crusher assembly comprises a jaw crusher a jaw liner clamping tool for clamping a jaw liner to a jaw of the jaw crusher. The clamping tool comprises a clamping head pivotably coupled to a shaft, and a releasable fastening mechanism. The shaft passes through the jaw and its free end is fastened to the jaw by the fastening mechanism, which is tightened to cause the clamping head to exert a clamping force to hold the jaw liner in place. The clamping tool facilitates safe installation of the jaw liners.

A wear panel for mining and materials handling applications is provided. The wear panel includes a housing matrix (1) with a top surface (2), a bottom surface (3) opposite the top surface (2) and at least one cavity (4) with cavity walls (5). The cavity (4) extends through the top surface (2) and the bottom surface (3). The wear panel also includes at least one wear-resistant member (6) with a preformed shape. The at least one wear-resistant member (6) has a top surface (7) and a bottom surface (8) opposite the top surface (7). The wear-resistant members (6) are disposed in the cavity (4) and are locked into place by their preformed shape and the cavity walls (5).

A jaw plate retainer assembly is arranged to releasably secure a jaw plate at a jaw of a jaw crusher. The retainer assembly is configured specifically for positioning at a rearward region of the jaw plate, such that no part of the retainer assembly is exposed to the crushing chamber and to protect it when mounted in use by the jaw plate.

A method is described for adjusting the tightness of a wear part fastened to a fixed jaw and/or a moving jaw of a jaw crusher with a tightening device that has a screw fastened at its first end in connection with a wear part located on a first side of the jaw; and a tightening member fastened to a second end of the screw on a second side of the jaw; and a spring arranged between the jaw and the tightening member. The spring is compressed or decompressed with the tightening member; the spring is influenced by at least two moving screws supported by a frame of the tightening member. The length of the spring is changed by rotating the at least two moving screws.

The present invention is related to hierarchical composite wear component comprising a reinforced part, said reinforced part comprising a reinforcement of a triply periodic minimal surface ceramic lattice structure, said structure comprising multiple cell units, said cell units comprising voids and micro-porous ceramic cell walls, the micro-pores of the cell walls comprising a sinter metal or a cast metal, the ceramic lattice structure being embedded in a bicontinuous structure with a cast metal matrix.

A discharge end wall system including a discharge wall assembly in which a number of pulp chambers are defined, and one or more plug elements at least partially occupying one or more of the pulp chambers.

A locking device for a crusher rotor of a horizontal shaft impact crusher includes a locking-wedge having a first through bore, a screw element for driving the locking-wedge into a locking position between a rotor arm and the hammer element and for holding the locking-wedge in the locking position, thereby fixing the hammer element to the rotor disc, a locking nut for receiving the locking screw element, and a locking nut holder. The screw element is at least partly located in the first through bore and extends through the locking nut. The locking nut holder holds the locking nut in a manner that prevents the locking nut from rotating as the screw element is driven through the locking nut.

A scraper device for a roller crusher, which scraper device includes a rotatable multi head scraper unit having at least two scrapers arranged tangentially about the rotatable multi head scraper unit at a respective radial distance from a rotational axis of the rotatable multi head scraper unit. The scraper device further includes a rotation actuator arranged to selectively rotate the rotatable multi head scraper unit to allow operative use of one of the at least two scrapers at a time. The scraper device further includes at least one brake arrangement configured to prevent and/or restrict rotation of the rotatable multi head scraper unit during operation of the one of the at least two scrapers. A roller crusher including the scraper device and a method for operating the roller crusher is also provided.
