An apparatus includes first and second conveyor structures with first and second conveyor surfaces. The conveyor surfaces face each other and are arranged to define a comminuting space in the apparatus. The apparatus brings the conveyor surfaces in movement in the direction from a first end of the conveyor structures towards a second end of the conveyor structures, and the two conveyor surfaces are placed to face each other. The conveyor surfaces are additionally placed in a convergent manner so that the gap between the conveyor surfaces narrows in the movement direction of the conveyor surfaces. The advancing movement of the conveyor surfaces brings about compression in material being comminuted. The conveyor surfaces are in a double-converging so that in addition to the convergence in the movement direction, the conveyor surfaces are additionally convergent in the transverse direction in relation to the movement direction, the comminuting space thus also being double-converging.

A blade plate for a crusher, where in the blade plate is normally installed on a fixed side or a movable side, includes a base material part, and a large number of blade parts arranged on a surface of the base material part. The blade parts include a rhombic blade part that forms a rhombic blade at a corner between inclined portions and a mountain-shaped blade part that is formed in a polyhedron shape in which a cross-shaped tip blade is formed at a corner between chipped portions provided at inclined portions. An inclined blade is formed at a corner between the inclined portions and is coupled to the rhombic blade part at an intersection point of diagonals of the rhombic blade part and a crusher using the blade plate.

A crushing or wear part includes an un-reinforced steel alloy body and at least one in-situ cast localized composite wear zone disposed in the steel alloy body formed of metal carbide or metal boride particles selected from TiC, ZrC, WC, NbC, TaC, TiB.sub.2, and ZrB.sub.2 distributed in a steel alloy matrix. The at least one in-situ cast localized composite wear zone has a Vickers Hardness that is at least 700 and at least 50% greater than a Vickers Hardness of the un-reinforced steel alloy body. A bonding region that is located between the in-situ cast localized composite wear zone and the steel alloy body is continuous and free of cracks, and the in-situ cast localized composite wear zone is unfragmented.

The application relates to a demolition device for demolishing a concrete structure according to one embodiment. The device has a crushing blade for crushing concrete, and a cutting blade for cutting metal or a pulverizing blade for grinding concrete, and a combination blade. The device can be attached to a utility machine in a detachable manner. The crushing and cutting/pulverizing blade are separate blades from each other. The combination blade is adapted to be used for crushing concrete with the crushing blade. The combination blade is adapted to be used for cutting metal with the cutting blade or for grinding concrete with the pulverizing blade. The combination blade has abutment surface parts for the crushing and cutting/pulverizing blade. The abutment surface part for the cutting/pulverizing blade makes possible a power transmission between the cutting/pulverizing and combination blade when using the combination blade for crushing concrete. The abutment surface part for the crushing blade makes possible a power transmission between the crushing and combination blade when using the combination blade for cutting metal or grinding concrete.

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 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.
