The role and replacement method of the thrust plate of the jaw crusher

As a key equipment in the mineral processing, construction waste treatment and other industries, the stability and efficiency of the jaw crusher are crucial to the entire production line. In this context, the thrust plate, as an important component of the jaw crusher, its role and replacement method naturally become the focus of maintenance work. This article will introduce in detail the role of the thrust plate in the jaw crusher and how to replace it.

Ⅰ. The role of the thrust plate of the jaw crusher

The thrust plate, also known as the rear toggle plate, is one of the important components of the jaw crusher. Its main function is to bear and transmit the torque generated by the motor and the working mechanism, drive the moving jaw plate to reciprocate, and realize the crushing of the material. The thrust plate forms a stable support structure through the connection with the frame, which ensures the stable operation of the crusher. At the same time, the thrust plate also plays a certain supporting and protective role, providing reliable support for other crusher components and preventing debris and foreign matter from entering the crushing cavity.

Ⅱ. Replacement method of thrust plate of jaw crusher

1.Stop and overhaul: First, the jaw crusher needs to be shut down and the power supply needs to be cut off to ensure the safety of operation. Then, the crusher is fully overhauled and the crushing chamber and other related parts are cleaned.

2. Remove the original thrust plate: Use appropriate tools to remove the bolts connecting the thrust plate. Please ensure stable operation during the removal process and handle the thrust plate carefully to avoid injury.

3. Install a new thrust plate: After confirming that the crushing chamber is clean and free of foreign matter, install the new thrust plate on the jaw crusher. Connect the thrust plate with the movable jaw plate and the adjustment seat, and tighten the bolts gradually, but do not overtighten.

4. Adjust the position of the thrust plate: The position and angle of the thrust plate have an important influence on the crushing effect of the crusher. By adjusting the position and angle of the thrust plate, the gap between the jaw plates can be changed, and then the size of the discharge port can be adjusted. According to actual needs, adjust the position and angle of the thrust plate appropriately.

5. Test run and debugging: After replacing the thrust plate, conduct test run and debugging. Before starting the machine, make sure that all the connecting bolts are tightened and check whether the various indicators of the crusher are normal. Then, start the test run and observe the operation of the crusher.

The above is the function and replacement method of the thrust plate of the jaw crusher. For how to replace the thrust plate of the jaw crusher, you can carry out maintenance and treatment based on the actual situation of the equipment, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment and improving production efficiency.
