Case Study
Gyratory Crusher Study and Retrofit
Problem
- International client needed structural and mechanical engineering services to analyze and reinforce 2 x 10,000 tonne/hr open pit rock crushers which were experiencing performance issues
Solution
- Static & Dynamic analyses were conducted using finite element models and classical methods
- Design of structural modifications to combat vibrational and impact forces
Result
- Increased system longevity by 2.5 times client expectations
- Significantly increased process availability by reducing maintenance man-hours, and equipment downtimes
