New Campaign Planner for Gyratory and Cone Crusher Maintenance
Crusher Consumables has launched a structured campaign planner sheet tailored for scheduled long stops on gyratory and cone crushers.
Focused planning for major shutdowns
Maintenance on gyratory and cone crushers often means extended downtime, especially in hard rock quarries and large-scale mining. Our new campaign planner sheet is designed to help engineers and fitters organise all critical tasks in one place, from checking closed side setting and nip angle to reviewing the exact profile of each crushing chamber. The sheet prompts teams to assess liner wear, schedule replacement of mantles and concaves, and check backing compound condition before unbolting any major assembly.
With the planner, teams can map out every job for a shutdown, ensuring nothing is missed, from appraising wear profiles to preparing lifting lugs and safe lifting plans. Correct sequencing of liner bolt removal and torque checks is built in, with reminders to defer to OEM manuals for safe practice.
- Tracks each wear part for removal and installation
- Prompts checks on feed distribution and choke feeding
- Flags safe lockout procedures
- Organises stock and tooling before shutdown
Boosting uptime and safety in Crusher overhauls
Prolonged stops can cost in lost production, especially with Eskom power cuts disrupting schedules. The campaign planner aims to get maintenance teams in and out quicker, with fewer surprises. By accounting for all steps, from the condition of the bowl liner and spider shield to the torque of every fastener, teams reduce the risk of rework and missed wear components.
The sheet is available to all Crusher Consumables customers running extended shutdowns on large cone or gyratory machines. Stock holding for key liners, backing, and locking bolts can be planned in advance, matching the sheet’s timelines, reducing on-site surprises.
