CSB160: Maintenance and Operation Guide

Pre - Operation Inspection

Before starting the CSB160 crusher, a thorough inspection is essential. Check the feed opening and discharge port for any obstructions or residual materials. Examine the power connections and ensure the power rating is within the 6 - 185kW range as per the crusher's requirements. Inspect the springs for any signs of damage or wear, as they play a crucial role in the crusher's operation and safety. Also, verify the integrity of the mantle and concave bowl to ensure proper crushing action.

Operation Procedures

When operating the CSB160, start by setting the desired discharge port size according to the required output particle size. For example, if a finer output in the range of 6 - 19mm is needed, adjust the settings accordingly. Gradually increase the power input, starting from the lower end of the 6 - 185kW range and adjusting based on the material being crushed. Monitor the crusher's production rate, which can vary from 109 - 181 tons/hour, 132 - 253 tons/hour, or 172 - 349 tons/hour depending on the feed and discharge port configurations. Ensure a steady flow of material into the crusher, avoiding overloading or underfeeding.

Maintenance Schedules

Regular maintenance is key to the longevity of the CSB160. Daily, check for any loose bolts or fittings and tighten them if necessary. Weekly, clean the exterior of the crusher to prevent the buildup of dust and debris. Monthly, inspect the wear parts such as the mantle and concave bowl. If the wear exceeds a certain limit, plan for replacement. Every three months, check the condition of the springs and replace them if they have lost their elasticity or are damaged. Also, during these intervals, inspect the lubrication system and refill or change the lubricant as needed to ensure smooth operation of the moving parts.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If the crusher experiences a sudden decrease in production rate, it could be due to a clogged feed or discharge port. Stop the crusher and clear the obstruction. If there is excessive vibration, check the balance of the rotating parts and the alignment of the mantle and concave bowl. Unusual noises may indicate a problem with the bearings or a foreign object in the crushing chamber. Inspect and repair or remove the object as appropriate. If the crusher fails to start, check the power supply, fuses, and control panel for any faults.
