Abstract: A rock crusher such as a cone or jaw crusher incorporates hardened tapered inserts in the manganese or other wear liner of at least one of its crushing elements. The inserts extend outwardly from the crushing surface of the crushing element towards the facing crushing surface so as, in use, to act as pick axes that shatter rock primarily by impact rather than pulverizing the rock by compression. The inserts are fixed in a heat treated manganese wear liner either by bonding or by press-fitting. The inserts substantially improve the life of the wear liner and, unexpectedly, 1) produce product of a highly uniform gradation in the desired ranges, 2) consistently produce product with a very high cubicity, 3) dramatically reduce the crusher's power requirements, and 4) significantly increase the crusher's capacity.

Abstract: A crusher for materials such as rock is described. Material is crushed between an inclined anvil and a vibrating impact surface. The impact surface is driven by high intensity pressure pulses which are generated by creating repeated water hammers in a low pressure high volume hydraulic circuit. The water hammer may act directly to drive a piston bearing the impact surface toward the anvil. In another configuration of the invention, the water hammer pulse stores energy by stretching a tension member or by distorting a plate. When the water hammer pulse passes the stored energy suddenly drives the impact surface towards the anvil. The crusher of the invention has few moving parts and is energy efficient.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for crushing rock into aggregate which utilizes a movable jaw operating relative to a fixed jaw. The movable jaw is supported on upper and lower toggle plates which are positioned in non parallel planes. Rock to be crushed is received in an upper entry region defined by the jaws and by opposed cheek plates cooperable with the jaws. Upon reciprocating movement of an hydraulic actuator, a major movement imparted to the movable jaw at its upper region is in a generally upright plane and a major movement imparted to the movable jaw at its lower region is in a generally horizontal plane transverse of the upright plane. In this manner, improved initial cracking of the rock as it enters the upper entry region is achieved and increased production flow of crushed aggregate is achieved at a discharge region by reason, at that location, of the relative horizontal movement between the fixed and movable jaws.

Abstract: The crushing tools are designed as rocker-like chisels having cutting edges. These chisels are pivotably supported at a frame such to pivot around a horizontal axis. These chisel-like crushing tools are operated by a piston-cylinder unit which extends almost vertically and is pivotably mounted to the box-shaped frame. Accordingly, the apparatus can be designed with a small width. Furthermore, the rocker-like design of the crushing tools allows due to the various lengths of the lever arms an increase of the forces without necessitating an exchanging of the piston-cylinder units. Furthermore, an adjusting of the apparatus to pillars of varying thickness is made merely by an exchanging of the crushing tools having dimensions of cutting edges which are selected in accordance with the prevailing distances between the reinforcing bars.

Abstract: A jaw-type rock crusher has a stationary jaw, a cantilevered swing jaw driven by a toggle drive system, and a top feed opening above the crushing chamber formed between the two jaws. Two lateral hinge supports having an elevated horizontal hinge axis which lies in a plane generally bisecting the crushing chamber hingedly engage lateral support arms forming the upper hinge section of the swing jaw. In accordance with the invention, the lateral hinge supports and the swing jaw's upper support arms straddle the frame of the crusher and its top feed opening to allow the top feed opening to extend behind the swing jaw's hinge axis thereby permitting larger rock to be fed into the crusher and permitting easier access into the crusher for the purpose of dislodging or breaking up over-sized rock. A shock-absorbing back wall positioned behind the hinge axis near the top of the crusher prevents the impact forces of rock fed into the feed opening at high velocities from being fully absorbed by the swing jaw's bearings.
