Monitoring Crusher Wear Rates

Monitoring wear rates in crushers

Maptek technology proves to be a cost-effective and safe solution for monitoring wear rates of ore crushers.

Wear and tear in ore crushers can impact fragmentation size, cause damage to machinery and increase power costs. Maptek recently conducted a proof of concept for monitoring components of crushers, using I-Site laser scan technology and Vulcan modelling software.

Being able to accurately predict when to make adjustments is essential for optimising downstream material handling in secondary and tertiary crushing systems. Wide scanning field of view, coarse levelling and 8mm minimum accuracy make the I-Site 8200 system ideal for crusher survey. Sending consistent size material to the processing plant provides another opportunity to improve productivity. Predicting crusher down time allows operations to realise ongoing productivity gains.
