During assembly, the crushing plate must be firmly attached to the jaw plate, with the space between them leveled. A soft metal (such as lead or zinc) should be used as a gasket between the crushing plate and the jaw plate, and the plates should be bolted securely. The crushing plate should not be loose during operation, as this can easily break or wear the plate, shortening its service life. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the crushing plate is properly installed during assembly to extend its service life.
Improvements During Operation to Extend the Life of the Crushing Plate During production, the crushing plate directly interacts with the material, generating significant crushing forces. Especially when crushing hard materials, this can cause the bolts and nuts securing the crushing plate to vibrate and loosen, increasing wear and creating excessive noise. In severe cases, the crushing plate can fall off or break, causing the equipment to shut down and disrupting normal production. In such cases, simply tightening the bolts and nuts before starting the machine will not completely resolve the problem. The problem must be analyzed based on the actual site conditions, and practical solutions must be devised. For example, a spring anti-loosening and vibration damping device can be used to prevent the crushing plate from loosening during operation, thereby extending its service life and improving efficiency. The specific method is to use a spring to create a bolt anti-loosening and self-tightening device. This device consists of an inner spring gland, a spring, and an outer spring gland. This device is threaded onto the bolt and tightened with the nut. When the spring is compressed to a certain degree by the nut, it produces a strong anti-vibration effect. The bolt loosening force generated by the huge crushing force is automatically compensated by the spring tension, so the bolt will not loosen, thereby extending the service life of the crushing plate and improving production efficiency. In short, during use, specific solutions can be found to solve specific problems according to specific situations, preventing the crushing plate from loosening, increasing wear, and breaking, thereby extending the service life of the crushing plate, reducing costs, and improving work efficiency.
