Case Studies

The Optimum Crush engineering team has spent decades inside cone crushers — not just supplying parts, but diagnosing failures, identifying root causes, and engineering solutions that fix problems permanently. Our case studies document real-world challenges encountered on FLSmidth® Raptor® XL500, XL600, XL900, XL1100, XL1300, and XL2000 cone crushers at mining operations across the globe — and the engineered solutions we developed to resolve them. From short liner life and high vibration to main frame cracking and cylinder failures, these studies represent the depth of hands-on knowledge that separates Optimum Crush from a standard aftermarket parts supplier.
