In stone crushing plant, maintenance of jaw crusher is an very important thing. With proper planning and preparation, maintenance programs can be made easier and more effective. What’s more, operations can meet time management, cost savings and safety goals using good maintenance strategies. Successful jaw crusher maintenance requires the right resources, the right tools and the right method.

When an operation is down, whether for preventive maintenance or component failure, there is always the pressure to get the plant up and running as soon as possible. Here are main steps for jaw crusher maintenace.

Firstly, Cleanliness is key. Keep oil systems free of contamination. If workers don’t bother to clean out any sludge buildup in tanks and the new oil will become contaminated too.

Second, Keep the toggle area clean. It’s best to wash out the toggle seats and plates daily, as wet material buildup results in a gritty compound that grinds down components, causing premature wear. Remove dirt and debris from crusher frame surfaces and from areas around the machine too.

Thirdly, Conduct regular inspections. Follow the discipline of daily, weekly and monthly recommended inspections, including check jaw plates daily, making sure bolts are kept tight. Check jaw plates for any excessive wear that may affect the mainframe of the jaw. Monitor flywheels for cleanliness, tightened bolts and potential cracks; and make sure drive belts aren’t worn or cracked.

Finally, Don’t over-extend wear parts. Avoid running jaw plates so long that they become too thin. To get the full life of the manganese, change them out sooner than later.
