Vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushers (also called centrifugal crushers) use a stone-on-stone impact principle to produce fine, cubical product. They are most often used at the third and fourth stages of crushing.
Although VSIs offer a low specific operating cost, they have comparatively high consumption of wear parts. Mining Element supplies VSI parts for most brands in the industry and delivers components that are fully compatible with the required equipment models.
Depending on the crusher design, typical VSI wear parts include: liners and rotor tips with back-up tips, upper and lower wear plates, distributor (distribution) plate, profile/side plates, feed tube (inlet pipe) and loading ring, throwing shoes/accelerator blades, anvil ring and anvils, other chamber and rotor protection elements,
The most wear-sensitive items are the liners and rotor tips/back-up tips. Mining Element manufactures these from steel fitted with three types of tungsten-carbide inserts.
Selecting the right geometry and alloy for the application ensures the required throughput and final product characteristics.
In addition to wear items, timely replacement is also required for bearings, seals, V-belt drive parts, and other mechanisms and components. Mining Element’s comprehensive offer covers standard catalogue products as well as components manufactured to individual drawings or sketches.
