Forward
This parts section of this manual is intended to assist the informed installer and user of
this jaw crusher in identifying wear and replacement parts that will be required during
the operating of this equipment. Because of the extreme nature of crushing, parts
replacement is an expected occurrence. The prepared operator should have certain
parts on hand to minimize operating down time.
Specific questions regarding the operation and maintenance should be addressed to
your distributor. The manufacturer will constantly try to improve their equipment and
there will therefore be changes from time to time that may require you to request up
dates from the factory or your local representative.

Safety
The manufacturer may not always know exactly how their equipment is installed,
applied and used, and cautions all prospective operators that they must exercise the
greatest care for the safety of individuals that happen in and around the machinery.
Equipment used in the United States must be installed and operated with regard to
safety either, per OSHA or MSHA regulations, or both.
Operating the equipment beyond its published ratings or without the proper guards and
protection for personnel is foolhardy and subjects the operator to potentially numerous
penalties or imprisonment or both.

THE ABOVE TABLES ARE BASED ON RESULTS OBTAINED DURING ACTUAL OPERATION AND COULD VARY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF MATERIAL, GRADATION OF FEED, METHOD OF FEEDING,
MOISTURE AND CLAY CONTENT, AND OTHER MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE INDICATED TOP SIZE, ALSO INFLUENCED BY THE ABOVE CONDITIONS, IS PROVIDED TO ASSIST IN THE SELECTION OF
THE CRUSHING EQUIPMENT TO FOLLOW. CONTACT YOUR DEALER FOR MORE DETAILS. Jaw crushers reduce large rock to smaller stone using exceptional force. The

foundation therefore must be substantial enough to support the crusher without distortion.

CT2036 Jaw Crusher Manual

15

Foundation Recommendations
Jaw crushers reduce large rock to smaller stone using exceptional force. The foundation therefore must
be substantial enough to support the crusher without distortion.
Jaw crushers may be installed on permanent concrete or steel structures or mobile equipment.
Regardless of the application the foundation must withstand the forces of material impact and drive line
loads. The design task is usually best handled by a qualified engineer.
The interface between the crusher and foundation must be flat so that the crusher is given proper
support. Where a flat surface cannot be obtained it may be necessary to use machinery grout between
the two surfaces. The grout used of course must be adequate to the task when considering the impact
and dimensional requirements.
The installer will have to consider the configuration of chutes, hoppers, structural supports, etc., when
designing the crusher foundation. In order to minimize the noise and vibration to the surrounding
buildings as a result of the operating machinery, it maybe advisable to insert wooden planks, rubber
sheets or other padding materials between the crusher and its foundation.

Feed Configuration
In order to achieve the maximum operating efficiency for the crusher, an optimal feed arrangement must
be utilized. This crusher can reach its maximum efficiency only when the feed is supplied in the correct
amount and distributed evenly into the crushing chamber. The feed equipment should also allow for easy
access to the crushing chamber in the event of material blockage, part replacement, or other
maintenance.

Discharge Configuration
The crusher discharge compartment can be manufactured out of metal or wood. The compartment should
be readily accessible for cleaning, maintenance, and inspection. The compartment should also have a
shelf or ledge to provide a bed of crushed material for falling material to impact on. This bed will absorb
much of the impact of the falling material before it reaches the conveying belt. If a discharge chute is
used, its slope must be at least 45 from the horizontal and increased if the material is sticky in nature.

V-Belt Drive Installation

The crusher is powered by conventional 8V or C section V-Belts. The drive sheaf on the machine
carries the correct number of grooves to transmit the maximum allowable horsepower for the crusher.
The size and number of belts should not be reduced. Refer to a table of electrical power requirements for
recommended horsepower ratings.
The crusher installer will determine the V-Belt drive installation, so the following notes are provided for
general reference only.
Clean all oil, dirt, grease or rust from the sheaf grooves.
Verify the proper alignment of the sheaves and that the shafts are parallel.
Shorten the center distance until the belts can be slipped on easily.
Determine the minimum allowances for shortening or lengthening the center distance between
sheaves after referencing and a V-belt installation manual.
Always used a match set of belts from the same manufacturer. Never use a combination of warn
and new belts.

CT2036 Jaw Crusher Manual

After placing the belts on the sheaves, run the drive for a few minutes. Tension the drive until only slight
sag appears on the slack side of the belts when the drive is running. The slack side depends on the
motor position and rotation of the crusher.

V-Belt Precautions
V-Belt stretching and wear are potential problems for the user and frequent careful inspections are
recommended in order to identify problem belts before the belts fail. This will serve to reduce the potential
injuries that could result when belts break and give way.

Rust Protection
A crusher is comprised of iron and steel parts; it is particularly vulnerable to rust corrosion. Once rust
develops, the resulting porosity on the metal surfaces can cause an increased degradation of the crusher
due to water and moisture collection. Rust could be a major cause of downtime, high maintenance costs,
production loss, production waste, and short equipment life. It also could cause a potential safety risk to
operating personnel.
Because of the significant effects of rust on this machines operation, good service maintenance should
be practiced. If the crusher is in storage or not being used for more than a significant period of time, the
crusher should be operated for at least 10 minutes on a monthly basis. If there is no power supply to the
crusher during this period, the flywheel must be manually rotated 5 to 10 times to ensure that the
bearings to not deform and to ensure a proper disbursement of bearing grease.
Moisture condensation will cause corrosion at the contact point between the bearing rollers and the inner
and outer rings. This will degrade the finished surfaces of both the rollers and rings. When the crusher is
operating, this surface wear will cause the bearings to become rough and fail prematurely.

Tension Rod and Toggle Plate Information

The closed side setting of a Jaw Crusher is determined by the position of the toggle seat located within
the transverse header. The toggle seat may be positioned closer or further away from the pitman by
shims inserted at the rear of the seat. To decrease the closed side setting a larger shim pack is used,
conversely to increase the opening shims are removed.
Since the toggle plate is not mechanically attached to the pitman or the toggle seat tension rods and
springs are used to hold it in position. In operation the toggle plate acts like a pivot that holds the closed
side setting relatively fixed as the top of the pitman opens or closes by the amount of pitman eccentric.

Initial Assembly
The toggle plate, toggle seat, buffer plates and tension rod assembly, as shipped, will be installed in the
frame and should require no further attention other than final adjustment as explained in the operating
instructions section of this manual.
The toggle plate protects the pitman from the serious damage that could result if an uncrushable object
enters the crushing chamber. The toggle plate is intended to bend or fracture when an overload occurs
against the pitman die plate. The failure will result in an increase in the size discharge chute that will
allow the uncrushable object to pass through the chamber.
The tension spring on the toggle plate supplies the force required to prevent the pitman from pulling away
from the toggle plate upon reaching its furthest point forward.

Removal and Installation

During normal operation, the toggle plate, tension rod, or any of their respective components may require
repair or replacement. Care should be taken when removing those parts to ensure that no personal injury
results from the procedure.

Flywheel and Pitman Information

Maintenance personnel that are familiar with large diameter spherical roller bearings should accomplish
removal and replacement of the flywheels and pitman. Work should be performed in a clean environment
free of dust and moisture. Smart tips include:
1. Plan ahead and have all necessary tools on hand before work begins in order to minimize the
bearings exposure to moisture and dirt.
2. Have all the required parts on hand as well.
3. Make sure that all shaft surfaces are clean and free of scarring or nicks.
4. Do not remove the bearing packaging until you are ready for immediate installation.

Jaw Dies and Side Plates

Fixed Jaw Die Replacement
The stationary jaw die plate is reversible and can be rotated 180 in order to distribute the wear over both
ends that will extend the total life of the plate. The plate should be rotated before excessive wear on the
lower end occurs.
Swing Jaw Die Replacement
Similar to the stationary plate, the movable jaw die plate, mounted on the pitman is reversible and can be
rotated 180 to distribute wear across the entire plate.

Lubrication
Lubrication procedures are performed primarily to deliver grease or oil to rotating or sliding surfaces to
reduce friction and carry away heat. Pressure lubrication is also used to expel contaminants from seals
and other openings. Certain lubricants are used to protect parts from corrosion.
When grease lubrication is used, the grease should be packed into the bearing making sure it gets
between the rollers and the cage not just on the outside of these parts. When hand-packing bearings,
force grease through the bearing under the cage from the large end to the small end to ensure proper
grease distribution. Mechanical grease packers are also available which force grease through the
bearing, filling the space between the roller and the cage. Grease should also be smeared on the outside
of the rollers.
Basic Lubricant Functions
Lubrication can be defined as the control of friction and wear between adjacent bearing surfaces by the
development of a lubricant film between them.
A bearing lubricant must perform three fundamental functions:
1. To provide a suitable film which separates the moving parts in a bearing.
2. As a heat transfer medium (to carry away heat)
3. To protect the bearing surfaces from corrosion and contamination.
Lube Recommendation
Trio recommends daily lubrication application at the close of the shift (Refer to the appendix B); the
grease will flow smoothly and allow easy purging around seals or out of the drain plug.
NEW CRUSHER lubrication It is recommended to completely purge bearings after the first 200 hrs.
after that 10 hr. intervals or shift intervals should be followed. Trio recommends a maintenance book be
used to keep a good account of activity on all aspects of the crusher.

CT2036 Jaw Crusher Manual

Self-Aligning Spherical Roller Bearing

Lubrication of the spherical roller bearings is accomplished by using a manual type grease gun or an
automatic lubricating system through four grease fittings. One grease fitting is located on each of the
side bearing housings and two grease fittings are located on the pitman, one at each pitman bearing.
If the grease gun method of lubrication is used, add the grease immediately after shut down while the
bearings are still warm.
Normally, a manual type grease gun requires 20 strokes to discharge one ounce of grease.
AVOID USING TOO MUCH GREASE AS EXCESSIVE GREASE WILL CAUSE OVERHEATING AND
SHORTEN THE BEARING LIFE.
Grease Specifications
Trio recognizes there are many factors that go into choosing a grease, a brand and a supplier, what we
wish to do is select the proper grade and additive that best fits the machinery and application. The brand,
the supplier (i.e. Texaco, Shell and so on) and the type (i.e. synthetic vs. non-synthetic) we will leave to
the end user.
Bearing greases must withstand high pressures and temperatures. Some bearing manufacturers can
supply a high quality premium grease that may prolong the life of the equipment, however satisfactory
performance can be obtained by using an NLGI #2. Choose type EP rated, ASTM D2509. Use the
proper grade for the ambient temperature expected.
The selection of the correct lubricant for ant application requires careful study of operational and
environmental conditions. In the selection of the proper lubricant there are trade-offs and concerns other
than fatigue life to consider. For instance changing lubricant viscosities will affect the bearing operating
temperature.
When severe operating conditions are anticipated the use of a lubricant with an extreme pressure
additive may help prevent scoring damage in the cone-rib / roller-end contact area. EP additives are
chemically complex material which, when activated by localized high temperatures, forms a low shear
strength film at the contact area on the bearing thus preventing scoring.
Grease life is dependent upon such factors as speed, environmental conditions and operating
temperature. The higher the temperature the more rapid is the grease oxidation. Grease life is reduced by
approximately one-half for every 18 degrees Fahrenheit rise in temperature. Therefore the higher the
operating temperature the often the grease must be replenished. Past experience is the best guide to
CT2036 Jaw Crusher Manual

republication frequency. Obviously, seal leakage will dictate frequent relubrication and every attempt
should be made to maintain seals at top efficiency.
Bearing Temperature
A properly adjusted bearing should run at about 140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If a bearing is suspected
of running to hot it should be checked with a surface mount thermometer and checked to see if it is over
165 degrees Fahrenheit. A bearing that develops high temperature after it has been running satisfactorily
for some time may be caused by over greasing. A newly installed bearing that overheats is usually
caused by improper adjustments of the running clearance. A failed bearing that is overheating will
probably be accompanied by some other indication such as grinding noises.

Dust Seals
As stated above the bearings are protected from outside contamination by labyrinth seals that depend on
sloughing grease to shed the dust, dirt and moisture.

Operating Instructions
Pre-Starting Instructions
Adhering to strict inspection habits will serve to help insure years of successful operation of this crusher.
Memory alone will not ensure that proper maintenance is performed. Consequently, a written record book
is recommended. By regularly performing pre-startup maintenance inspections, the operator will minimize
down time and prolong the crushers useful life. Before starting the crusher, the following steps should be
followed:
1. Check that the correct hydraulic oil is being used and is correctly installed in the hydraulic adjustment
assembly.
2. Inspect to ensure that the crusher is free of tools and other potential mechanical obstructions.
3. Verify that all joints, bolts and fasteners are tightened properly and that there are no leakages in the
lubricant system.
4. Before starting, pump several ounces of fresh grease into each bearing. Let the machine run for one
half hour and add grease in intervals until grease appears on the bearing grease seals.
5. Listen carefully for any unusual sounds. When satisfied that all parts are running correctly, begin
feeding a small amount of material and begin increasing the feed rate until the crusher is operating at
its full capacity.
6. During this startup period, check the bearing temperature frequently. If temperatures are above the
recommended levels, lubricate according to the instructions provided in the lubrication section.
7. Check to ensure that the tension spring on the crusher does not need re-adjustment. If an adjustment
is required, make sure that all necessary parts are available.
8. After all of these steps have been followed, start the crusher according to the crusher start-up
section.

Crusher Speed
The correct speed (revolutions per minute - RPM) is very important for proper crusher operation. The
sheave sizes recommended for driving the crusher are designed for maximum load operation -- therefore
the crusher speed may be somewhat higher during lessened load periods.
By operating at the recommended speeds, the crusher will produce its maximum output with uniform
production size.
