A gyratory crusher bottomshell and inspection hatch assembly is attachable exclusively to the bottomshell via a wear plate positioned at an internal region of the bottomshell. A wall thickness of the bottomshell at a border region immediately surrounding the hatch opening is generally equal to or less than a wall thickness over a remainder region of the wall at the same axial height position of the hatch opening.

Method for dissociating different constituents of a heterogeneous artificial material, comprising the fragmentation of the material in a fragmentation machine (1) by material-bed compression, the machine (1) comprising at least one vibrator (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) and a system (11) for controlling at least one parameter of the fragmentation force from the speed of rotation of the vibrator(s) (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) and the phase shift angle between at least two vibrators (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d); the method being characterised in that the control system adjusts a rotation parameter of the vibrators (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) so as to generate a fragmentation force by the machine (1) allowing to at least partially dissociate at least one of the constituents of the material from the other constituents.

A clearing cylinder comprises an upper cylindrical housing, a lower cylindrical housing, and a head assembly. The upper cylindrical housing further comprises an upper surface having a first circumferential recess, a first wiper ring disposed within the first circumferential recess, an upper side wall, and an upper bore defined within the upper side wall. The lower cylindrical housing further comprises a lower side wall defining an internal cylindrical cavity and containing a breather vent. The head assembly is disposed between the upper cylindrical housing and the lower cylindrical housing and further comprises a second circumferential recess defined within a topmost inside surface of the head assembly and a second wiper ring disposed within the second circumferential recess.

The disclosure relates to novel components of a gyratory crusher (1) which aim to promote self-alignment of a mainshaft assembly (2) upon introduction of the mainshaft assembly (2) into the gyratory crusher (1) by lowering the mainshaft assembly (2) from above the gyratory crusher (1) into the gyratory crusher (1). The novel components may include a dust bonnet (9) having a plurality of guides (15), an end plate (32) having a lower alignment chamfer (36), and/or a counterweight (13) having an alignment chamfer (41). Each of the novel components may be configured to bias a lower mainshaft (26) of the mainshaft assembly (2) of the gyratory crusher (1) into concentric alignment with a bore (56) of the eccentric (11) or eccentric liner (12).

A mineral material processing plant, a crusher, a lubrication method and system, the system including a thrust bearing, a lubrication piston and adjusting piston arranged to be movable in a cylinder. The piston includes a first space configured to receive fluid and to continuously conduct the fluid to the thrust bearing. The cylinder and the piston define therebetween a second space configured to receive and hold fluid. The system is configured to, in response to detecting a downward movement of the piston, conduct fluid to the first space.

A nut lifting tool of an inner wear part of a cone crusher. The lifting tool has a frame to be placed around a nut to be lifted. The frame has nut lifting lugs for supporting occurring from at least three sides of the center of gravity of the nut and frame suspension brackets for suspending the frame from the nut before lifting the nut. The frame also has an open side for receiving a nut, lateral limiters, which, together with the lifting lugs and the suspension brackets, form a nut receiving space such that the frame can be slid from the open side to surround the nut, and lifting connection pieces for connecting a crane to the frame.
