Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Pebble & Secondary Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM Water and dust was penetrating the clearance between the cylinder head and rod allowing for rust to form and evenutally seizing the cylinder. SOLUTION A new cylinder design was developed to add sealing at the top of the rod […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Pebble & Secondary Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM Tramp Release Cylinders were loosening internally. This changed the height of the piston location from one cylinder to the next and caused false clamping force in the system. SOLUTION A new internal design was developed to add mechanical locks […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL900 Crushing Type: Secondary Mine Type: DIAMOND Location: Canada PROBLEM Mine wanted to change their plant-wide shutdown intervals but needed their liners to last longer to accomplish this. SOLUTION Optimum Crush used their knowledge of the entire machine to develop a custom set of liners that would not only accomplish the […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Pebble & Secondary Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM Eccentric RTD’s were getting damaged when the Lower Thrust Bearings were installed but this was not known until the crusher was assembled and operating. To fix the issue the entire crusher would need to be disassembled again which creates […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Pebble & Secondary Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM Welds on Main Frame Seat liners would crack and the Seat Liners would fall down preventing the Adjustment Ring from properly seating on top of the Main Frame. SOLUTION Optimum Crush developed a special weld procedure and Main Frame […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Secondary Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM The OEM Main Frame Liner life did not meet the expectations of the mine. This was especially an issue in the Secondary Crushers where larger rock impact caused faster wear than in their Pebble Crushers. SOLUTION A new style hanging design […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Pebble Crushing Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM Liner life was too short and vibration values seemed too high. Due to high vibration values, the crusher could not be operated as tight as desired to achieve the target P80. SOLUTION The mine reviewed proposals from several companies and […]

Project Details Machine Model: XL1100 Crushing Type: Secondary Mine Type: GOLD Location: Canada PROBLEM The mine wanted to increase the life of their Secondary Liners to increase annual production time and reduce maintenance costs. They also were seeking a reduced break-in period. SOLUTION Optimum Crush used their knowledge of the entire machine to develop a […]
