A cone crusher alternatively operable with either a first bowl liner or a second bowl liner, the crusher including a frame, a crusher head, a bowl supported by the frame, the bowl including a bowl liner mounting surface, a locking mechanism on the bowl and the bowl liner for alternatively fixing the first bowl liner and the second bowl liner to the bowl, the locking mechanism including at least one locking assembly including a wedge member, a first link, a lock pocket defined by the bowl and being adapted to receive the first link, a lock mount defined by the bowl and being adapted to receive the first link, the lock pocket and the lock mount being respectively located relative to the bowl liner mounting surface such that the locking assembly is engagable with the locking flange of the first bowl liner when received by the lock pocket and such that the locking assembly is engagable with the locking flange of the second bowl liner when received by the lock mount.

Bowl assembly for cone crusher

A cone crusher having a main frame, a crusher head interconnected with the main frame, a crusher bowl positioned adjacent to the first crusher member, and a double-acting hydraulic lift interconnected with both the main frame and the second crusher member. A force transfer member extends downward relative to the crusher bowl. The hydraulic lift includes an upper end interconnected with the main frame and a lower end interconnected with the force transfer member, thereby providing a downward clamp force on the force transfer member to compliantly clamp the crusher bowl to the main frame in an operating position. The hydraulic lift can provide an upward lift force on the force transfer member to move the second crusher member from the operating position to a clear position.
