What Are the Common Failures of Mobile Crushers

Like any piece of equipment, mobile crushers can develop various issues over time. Just as smartphones may become sluggish or experience battery drain after prolonged use, mobile crushing plants are no exception. Improper operation can lead to malfunctions, and prolonged use can also cause problems. If a problem arises, there’s no need to panic. First, carefully assess the specific situation to identify the root cause and address it effectively. Today, we’ll share some common failures of mobile crushers.

1. Excessive material buildup in the crushing chamber.

If the material is too wet, it will accumulate inside the chamber, causing blockages during processing and resulting in low equipment efficiency.

2. Unstable vibration.

Irregular or excessive vibration in a mobile crushing plant may indicate a problem with the hammers. It could also be caused by issues with the bearings or gear couplings.

3. Irregular product size.

If the particles are too fine, there may be too many hammers or jaw teeth. If the particles are too coarse, there may be too few hammers or jaw plates, or the conveyor belt may be too loose, or the voltage may be insufficient.

4. Overheating of shafts and bearings.

The bearings of the mobile crushing plant bear the entire load of the machine. If the bearing temperature is too high, it may be due to insufficient oil; if the lubricating oil is contaminated, it can also cause the bearings to overheat.

5. The V-belt driving the pulley is too loose, causing the belt to slip.

6. The locking sleeve on the eccentric shaft is loose, causing no clearance on both sides within the frame’s bearing housing, which seizes the eccentric shaft and prevents rotation.

7. The voltage at the worksite is too low, causing the main unit to lack the power to crush large materials.

The above points outline common issues encountered during the operation of mobile crushers. If your machine experiences any of these problems, please do not panic; you can consult the manufacturer. Our after-sales service is available 24/7 to resolve your issues at any time.
