Never worked on a jaw...sounds like fun tho! Company I used to work for had to get a crack welded up in the base on their stone age gyrotory, that turned out to be some intense welding.

Why do you want to move back to VA?

imagine 200 tons of angry vibrating steel that wants to go somewhere but cant.

its bad.

but the best thing is that jaw crushers are cake. they are simple. but they have a tendency of tearing their frame apart underneath them.

gyrotory crushers are a pain in the ass ... its just a conical jaw crusher lol. they work on the same concept, only they are complex as fuck and they have a pain in the ass manganese liner.

and why do i want to move back to va? because TN sucks. lol.

yeah ... this one was close to that.

the frame rails which were 20" beam (and close to 7/8" flange thickness) were destroyed. the crusher box had beaten its footing pads from 4" thick down to 3" thick. lol. and the 1.5" holes were 2".

we ended up planting it on 4" of solid steel with T7 tool steel inserts in the holes.

it was a pain in the ass.

apparently someone forgot their locktite ... or they just forgot to tighten it down at all lol.

they had had that crusher apart 3 month prior to us getting the call. lol.
