A crusher apparatus includes a material crushing portion with a first crushing portion adapted for movement toward a second crushing portion. A linkage subassembly is connected to the first crushing portion and includes a first and second member operable about a pivot. A force inducing subsystem exerts a counterforce of a predetermined threshold amount to the first and second members sufficient to maintain the linkage subassembly in an unrelieved position until a crushing force exerted on the first crushing portion is sufficient to cause the linkage subassembly to move into a relieved position.

The invention relates to a crusher plant, in particular a jaw crusher, including a crushing unit for crushing mineral material, the crushing unit comprising a crushing chamber, to which a crusher outlet is assigned, via which crushed material exits the crushing chamber, at least one actuator being provided, by which the opening size of the crusher outlet is adjustable in the event of an overload situation in the crushing unit, in order to discharge faulty material from the crushing chamber, a belt conveyor being provided after the crusher outlet in the material conveying direction, faulty material being transportable by the belt conveyor from the crusher outlet, following an overload situation, toward a transfer end of the belt conveyor, a detection device being provided, by which the overload situation of the crushing unit or an operating change of the crushing unit brought about as a consequence of the overload situation is detected and an overload signal is then generated, and a control device controlling the belt conveyor and/or monitoring the faulty material transported on the belt conveyor by taking into account the overload signal. According to the invention, it is thus possible to restore the operational readiness of the crushing plant quickly and in a simple manner following the occurrence of an overload situation.

A resettable relief system for a crusher is provided. A first linkage member is connected to a material crushing portion of the crusher is connected to a second linkage member in a hinged manner. A hydraulic device exerts forces to the linkage members sufficient to maintain them in an unrelieved position, until forces exerted on the linkage members from the material crushing portion exceed a predetermined threshold, and then permit said first and second linkage members to move into a relieved position.

A crusher unit includes a mainframe that supports a crusher suitable for crushing bulk material. The unit has a primary motor carried by the frame to drive a crusher via a first drive belt extending around a first drive pulley and a first flywheel mounted at the crusher. The unit further includes a secondary motor carried by the frame to provide a secondary drive to the crusher via a second drive belt extending around a first or a second flywheel mounted at the crusher and a second drive pulley.

A crusher is provided having improved wear resistance and crushing capacity. Particularly, the crusher provides an improved mechanism for adjusting the closed side setting by acting on an adjustable jaw, rather than the moveable jaw. The crusher includes a moveable jaw, an adjustable jaw, and a frame that supports the adjustable jaw and the moveable jaw such that the adjustable jaw and the moveable jaw define a crushing chamber having an upper opening for receiving a material to be crushed and a lower opening for expelling crushed material from the chamber after crushing. The crusher also includes a drive mechanism coupled to the moveable jaw for directing reciprocating motion of the moveable jaw and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the adjustable jaw for altering an angle of the adjustable jaw and, thereby, altering a closed side setting of the crushing chamber.

A tramp iron relief system for a crusher. The preferred system includes a tramp iron relief cylinder, a relief valve adapted to open when oil pressure within said tramp iron relief cylinder exceeds a pre-designated limit, a tramp iron relief cylinder manifold block that is adapted to control the flow of oil into and out of the tramp iron relief cylinder, a tension cylinder, a tension cylinder manifold block adapted to control the flow of oil into and out of the tension cylinder, a tank line accumulator, and a hydraulic line to convey oil between the tank line accumulator, the tramp iron relief cylinder, and the tension cylinder. A method for controlling the movement of the tramp iron relief cylinder including reducing the pressure in the rod end of the tramp iron relief cylinder during normal operations of the crusher.

The invention relates to a crusher, in particular a rotary impact crusher, cone crusher or jaw crusher, having a crusher unit (10), which has a movable first crusher body (11), in particular a rotor or a crusher jaw, wherein a second crusher body (14), in particular an impact rocker or a crusher jaw, is assigned to the first crusher body (11), wherein a crushing gap (15) is formed between the crusher bodies (11, 14), wherein an overload triggering device (30) is coupled to the first crusher body or to the second crusher body, which overload triggering device has a hydraulic cylinder (20) and which overload triggering device is designed to permit a motion of the coupled crusher body (11, 14) increasing the width of the crushing gap (15), wherein the hydraulic cylinder (20) has a pressure chamber (24), which is delimited by means of a piston (23), and wherein the overload triggering device (30) has a pressure valve (31) which, in its open position, establishes a fluid-conveying connection between the pressure chamber (24) and a low-pressure area and, in the closed valve position, blocks this connection. The productivity and operational safety of such a crusher can then be increased if provision is made that the overload triggering device (30) has a high-pressure valve (40), which, as a result of an overload situation, in its open position establishes a fluid-conveying connection between the pressure chamber (24) of the hydraulic cylinder (20) and a low-pressure area and, after the overload situation has ended, is moved into a closed position to block this connection, and in that the triggering pressure required to open the pressure valve (31) is lower than the triggering pressure required to open the high-pressure valve (40).

The invention relates to an overload protection device for the hydraulic system of a mineral material machining plant, in particular for a rotary impact crusher, a jaw crusher or the like, wherein a hydraulic element equipped to store and/or convey a hydraulic fluid is provided, wherein the hydraulic element comprises a connection area (95) having a passage opening for hydraulic fluid of the hydraulic system, wherein the passage opening is covered by a replaceable burst panel (100), wherein a burst panel holder (96) is disposed on the rear face (101) of the burst panel (100) facing away from the connection area (95), and wherein at least one fastening bolt (97) is passed through a bolt mount (96.4) of the burst panel holder (96) and through a drilled hole (103) of the burst panel (100) disposed in alignment therewith and is bolted into a threaded mount of the connection area (95) in such a way that in the assembled state the burst panel (100) is held clamped between a pressure surface (96.2) of the burst panel holder (96) and a connection surface (95.1) of the connection area (95).
