A hydraulic mantle system for a gyratory rock crusher enables the safe, quick and efficient replacement of a worn or deformed mantle. The system includes a main shaft, an annular nut, an annular hydraulic piston and an annular mantle. The main shaft has a flange and external threads adjacent the flange. The annular nut body has side surfaces and internal threads that are threaded onto the external threads of the main shaft. The annular hydraulic piston has side surfaces that slidingly engage the side surfaces of the annular nut body. The annular mantle has an upper neck portion and a lower edge portion. The main shaft extends through the upper neck portion. The upper neck portion of the annular mantle is compressed between the flange of the main shaft and the annular hydraulic piston.

A breaker liner attachment structure for a vertical shredder including a rotor, a cylindrical shell, and a breaker, includes: a void that has an opening on an upper side and formed in an area between breaker liners in the breaker; and bolt insertion holes formed to extend from inner walls of the void to side surfaces of the breaker. Bolts are inserted into the bolt insertion holes via attachment holes formed in the breaker liners. The bolts are fastened with nuts from a side of the inner walls of the void.

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.

A gyratory crusher includes an inner and an outer crushing shell. The outer crushing shell has three regions along its axial length including: an inlet region that tapers radially inward from an uppermost first end; a crushing region that extends radially inward from a second lowermost end; and a radially innermost shoulder region that is positioned axially between the inlet and crushing regions. An angle of inclination of a radially inward facing surface at the inlet and shoulder regions and the axial length of the crushing surface are designed to optimize crushing capacity in addition maximizing reduction.
