Before Starting the Jaw Crusher, it is Essential to Check These

Before starting the jaw crusher, the operator needs to do some inspections to ensure that all components are normal and there is no blocking material in the crushing cavity. In addition, pre-startup inspections can also help you discover faults in time, nip them in the bud, and avoid greater losses. So, what aspects need to be checked before starting the jaw crusher?

Lubrication condition

Before starting the jaw crusher, check whether the jaw crusher toggle plate is sufficiently lubricated, which is a prerequisite for ensuring the efficient operation of the crusher. The toggle plate is a component that transmits power to the movable jaw of the crusher. It plays the role of supporting the movable jaw plate in the jaw crusher and transmits the crushing force to the rear wall of the frame. If poor lubrication, it will directly affect the working efficiency of the jaw crusher.

Fasteners status

Check whether the various fasteners of the jaw crusher are loose. Once found, tighten them immediately to reduce the probability of jaw crusher shutdown accidents.

Conveyor belt condition

Check the integrity of the conveyor belt. If there is any damage, it should be replaced immediately. If there is oil pollution on the conveyor belt, wipe it clean with a rag.

Defensive equipment

Protective devices are an essential indicator to check because they are related to safety issues. Once problems are discovered, they should be solved in time to avoid accidents.

Check the crushing chamber

Check the oily ore or debris in the crushing cavity. Once ore or debris is found, the operator should clean it up and ensure that the jaw crusher cavity is activated.

After checking the above aspects, if there are no problems, you can start production. In addition, operators must pay attention to safety during production.
