Two-part taper lock assembly

A rotationally locked drive assembly for a VSI crusher comprises a drive shaftrotatably securable in a bearing cartridge assembly, the drive shaft having a tapered upper end portionfor forming a taper joint in cooperation with the tapered central openingof a flywheel, a top opening key receptorformed on the top surfaceof the flywheel for receiving a locking key, whereby tightening of fastenerssecures locking keyin key receptor, presses flywheelonto drive shaft, thereby fortifying the taper joint between the flywheeland drive shaft, and locking drive shaft, flywheeland locking keyin rotational alignment.

A cross-key rotational alignment locking device for a VSI-type mineral breaker comprises a generally annular keywayin the top edge portion of the main shaftof the breaker, the annular keyway defining an upwardly extending pilot key, a plurality of circumferentially spaced slotsin the upper portion of a cylindrical taper lockdisposed around the main shaft, the slots in communication with the annular keyway, and a cross-keyhaving a generally annular main bodydisposed in the annular keyway, the pilot keyreceived in a central aperturein the main bodyof the cross-key, and the cross-key having a plurality of radially-extending armsdisposed in the plurality of slots, such that the taper lockis locked in rotational alignment with the shaft. In the preferred embodiment a bronze sleevehaving a longitudinally extending splitis interposed between the taper lockand the shaft

Cross-key rotational alignment locking device for VSI mineral breaker

A wear tip for a rotor of a centrifugal mineral breaker, comprises a carrierhaving at least two wear edgeseach disposed transversely to the path of mineral material being ejected from the rotor. A longitudinally extending groovebetween the firstand secondwear edges forms a rock retaining recession. Each wear edgehas a wear facewith a recesstherein. An insertof abrasion resistant material is disposed in each recess. Each inserthas an outer wear surface and an arcuate inner surfaceconforming to the profile of the recess. The outer wear surface of each insertis generally in planar alignment with the wear faceof one of the wear edges

Wear tip for rotary mineral breaker

A system and method for monitoring a vertical shaft impact crusher comprises a plurality of sensors which continuously monitor the current status of a plurality of crusher component parts, a computer in communication with the sensors, and a graphical user interface in communication with the computer and on which is displayed a plurality of virtual instruments. The computer interprets the signals received from the sensors and renders a perceptible indication of a plurality of crusher conditions on the plurality of virtual instruments, each of which conditions are associated with or derived from one or more of the signals received from the sensors. In a preferred embodiment, a recorded history of the status of each of the conditions may be viewed on a historical data viewer for a selected time period.

A wear tip for a rotary mineral breaker comprises a carrierhaving at least one wear edgehaving a recess. An insertof abrasion resistant material disposed in the recesshas an outer wear surfacein generally parallel relation with a wear faceof the carrierand an inner surfacehaving an arcuate profile for more effective consumption of the insert material.

A tip holder for the rotor of a centrifugal mineral breaker with a mounting member portion and a step with a mineral anchoring portion capable of retaining a bank of mineral material in which the minerals may have a diameter of up to 100 mm. The step also has one or more recesses formed longitudinally through the step and an insert of abrasion resistant material inserted in each recess. The width of a material retaining surface of said step is approximately equal to or greater than the depth of the insert of abrasion resistant material. A plurality of longitudinally disposed parallel inserts can be placed in the tip holder to maximize its resistance to specific mineral conditions.
