I work in mining specifically on crushers, conical, scroll, gyro and jaw, I'd like to suggest protecting the wedge feet with some form of sacrificial wear guards. Also I would suggest either countersinking or armouring the protruding securing bolt heads on the wear plate and wedge, or you may have a nightmare removing them in the future as material wears the bolt heads.

One thing I can recommend, as a welder, always cut your bevels before you assemble. You already know where you're going to need them. Also, don't use a cutting for grinding your grooves, use a combo disc. They are just a little thicker and can take the lateral pressures a little better.

Instead of welding the nuts to the moving part I would weld the bold to the changable plate. So when the screw gets damaged during operation you still get the plate off.
@srmofoable3 жыл бұрын
But having studs welded to a banana shaped plate makes it rather difficult to get the plate off. Forget about trying to put it back on. Each way has its advantage but it's easy to weld a fresh nut onto a damaged bolt head, not so easy to bend a half inch plate straight enough to slide welded studs off
@oh8wingman3 жыл бұрын
You are entirely correct about the bolts and where they should be. There is going to be a problem when he tries to replace the grinding plate because all the bolt heads will be worn and very hard if not impossible to remove. A better way would be to have the bolts come through from the back and drill and tap the grinding plate to accept them. When the plate is worn out the bolts can still be removed.

You’re forgetting that these are replaceable wear plates. When the bolts need to come out the plate is being replaced so a torch or plasma cutter will work quite nicely to remove worn out bolt heads. You’re overthinking it or not thinking it as far as Donn has.

No. The plate moves in and out and that small amount of movement is what breaks the bricks. The rebar is the part that will wear first. I am not sure how long they will last yet Lots of people just weld like 7018 rod on to the plates as they need it over and over and over again. He has made these plates easy to remove and repair or build new ones. This makes taking the unit apart much lighter for repairs.
