Definitions

  • This invention relates to a crushing member (toothed plate) according to the pre-characterizing part of each of claims 1,2 and 3.
  • a crushing member of this type is known from EP-A-0 306 023. According to this document, the crushing member is used to crush minerals.
  • the crushing member is made for use in gyrating-type crushers, such as cone crushers, gyratory crushers or others, which include mantles and concaves.
  • a known crushing member of a gyrating-type crusher comprises toothed plate bodies of a mantle and of a concave respectively having continuously undulating convexities and concavities circumferentially formed in the crushing surfaces of the toothed plate bodies of the mantle and the concave, whereby an object to be crushed fed into the crushing chamber of the crusher is crushed in a state where the object is hindered from slipping, for the improvement of the crushing efficiency (See Japanese Patent Publication (KOKOKU) No. 50580/1991).
  • the conventional crushing member of the above-described structure is effective only when the object-to-be-crushed is crushed in a state where the object is hindered from slipping, but sometimes sufficient crushing cannot be obtained unless the directions of the convexities and the concavities are suitable.
  • the crushing effect also decreases with increased abrasion of the toothed plate.
  • GB-A- 1,043,945 discloses a machine for treating and refining pulp, i.e. soft materials.
  • the machine includes a mantle and a concave.
  • the material to be treated in the pulp treating machine is fed to the large diameter end of the mantle and the concave.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a gyrating-type crusher having optimum direction lines of groove forming members disposed on the crushing surface of the toothed plate bodies, and combinations of the direction lines, whereby the crushing achievement in terms of required crushing power, particle sizes of crushed products, crushing efficiency, bites, etc. is optimized, and the drop of the crushing achievement accompanying the abrasion of the toothed plate can be effectively prevented.
  • this invention relates to a crushing member having the features of claim 1, claim 2 and claim 3.
