2.GENERAL INFORMATION:
TBK 80 rock-on-rock crusher uses a field proven rock lined rotor that acts as a high
velocity dry stone pump hurling a continuous rock stream into a stone lined crushing
chamber.
Material fed into the top of the machine is accelerated in the rock lined rotor, is thrown
to the crushing chamber with high speed.
Start Up Procedure
This section describes the start-up procedure, including the initial commissioning start-
up.
1. Have all electrical connections checked, including the operation of the vibration
switch.
2. Check pulley alignment and V belt tensions.
3. Check rotor rotation-it must be counter-clockwise when we viewed from above.
Severe damage to the rotor will result if the rotation is incorrect.
4. Make sure all bolts in the rotor, crusher and main support frame are tightened to the
correct torque.
5. Check all wear parts are correctly fitted in the rotor.
6. Remove all tools from on or within the crusher.
7. Ensure that all guards, doors, hatches and safety pins are in place.
4. Inspect rotor and cascade assembly. Ensure that all rotor parts are in place.
Ensure that the feed tube is still centralised in the feed eye ring.

1. The machine can now be run with a load. Feed material should be no larger than
the maximum allowable feed size for the MTM model being commissioned.
2. Feed a small sized chip or all-in product, preferably 5mm for the half minute or
so. A few cubic metres of material is enough. This allows an even build-up of
stone in the rotor and promotes good balance.
3. If coarse feed must be used at the start, some vibration can be expected for
several hours until fines are able to work their way through the voids in the
initial rotor build-up and bring the density of each rotor build-up into equilibrium.
4. When first feeding the rotor there will usually be an out of balance stage for
about 30-60seconds.Do not stop the feed to the rotor at this point but feed it as
much as possible until the vibration settles down.
AFTER 10 MINUTES
1. Centre the spreader plate under conveyor discharge so feed falls in an even curtain
around the spreader. The feed should fall squarely through the control plate feed
opening. This stabilises rotor feed.
2. Check motor power draw. If motor(s) are overloaded , reduce feed volume or adjust
cascade control until ammeter reading is corrected. If dual drive motors are running at
different amps see belt tensioning.
AFTER 30 MINUTES
1. Stop machine and check build-up in rotor.
2. Check crushing chamber build-up.
3. Make sure feed tube is in correct position in rotor, i.e. central in rotor feed hole and
extending into rotor.
4. Check that rotor tip assemblies are intact and tight.
5. Check feed eye ring has not turned or lifted.
6. Check belt tensions.

AFTER 4 HOURS
1. Check build-up in rotor, crushing chamber and base.
2. Check bearing temperatures.
3. Check belt tensions.
4. Grease at the end of the shift, and perform daily inspections as listed.
2.4 OPERATION
During operation it is important that the operator pays attention to the following:
1. AMMETER READING
High amps: could indicate high feed rates, extreme build-up in the chamber or the
base, blocked discharge chutes ,incorrect cascade adjustment ,mechanical and electrical
problems.
Low amps: could indicate low feed rates, incorrect cascade adjustment, V-belt
slippage, electrical problems.
Unbalanced amps: in a dual drive unit could indicate incorrectly tensioned, V- belts,
electrical or mechanical problems.
2. NOISE LEVELS
An increase in noise level could indicate bearing failure ,V belt slippage ,scouring of
build up in crushing chamber ,feed tube rubbing on feed eye ring.
3. VIBRATION
An increase in vibration could indicate uneven wear on wear parts or rotor, unbalanced
rotor due to uneven build-up in rotor, failure of anti-vibration pads, loose or pulley taper
lock.
4. FLOW OF MATERIAL
Changes in feed conditions could require adjustment of the feed plate and control
choke in the feed hopper. Increases in moisture content may increase build-up in the
rotor, crushing chamber and base.

Extended periods of running out the circuit with low feed rates to the crushing chamber
and rotor body. If the crushing circuit and weather conditions permit, stop all conveyors
before the crusher fully loaded. At the very least be aware of the excessive wear that
takes place and minimise the run-out time.
SHUT DOWN
The machine should not be ignored for lengthy periods, during which potentially serious
damage to wear parts may remain undetected.
Important note: TBK rotor wear parts are designed to protect the rotor body from
wear. They are not involved in the crushing action of the machine. Consequently it is not
possible to determine the state of wear of these parts from the product discharging from
the crusher.
To ensure trouble free operation TBK it is necessary to inspect the condition of the
rotor wear parts and the rock build-up within the machine on a regular basis.
Any wear parts that are unable to complete another shift should be replaced.
MTM recommended that you should carry out the following every 8 to 10 hours of
operation:

3. LUBRICATION
BEARING CARTRIDGE
The bearing cartridge must be greased every 8 to 10 hours of operation.
OPERATION
The best practise is to grease the bearings when the bearing cartridge is at operating
temperature while the machine is running at the end of each production shift.
RECOMMENDED GREASES
SHELL ALVANIA EP2, CASTROL SPHEEROL EPl2 OR EQUIVALENT
Bearing grease must have extreme pressure properties, such as provided by molybdenum
or lithium additive, with aluminium complex or similar base. Use a grease that conforms to
N.L.G.J. No: 2 with a minimum drop point L88°C.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Normal operating temperature for the bearing cartridge is: 40° to 60°C. A short
duration temperature rise of approximately 10°C can be experienced when bearings ere
lubricated.
GREASE DISCHARGE
Ensure that the grease discharge is away from the V-belts and grease hoses ere
undamaged.
It is also a good practice to perform a weekly inspection of the grease discharge to
ensure that it is not blocked, which may lead to pressure build-up inside the cartridge;
breakdown of grease inside, etc.

4. ROTOR SERVICING
The rotor assembly is the main wearing component of the TBK, and regular and
timely inspection of wear parts will extend the life of the rotor. If wear parts are not
replaced when required, severe damage or even total destruction of the rotor body may
result.
While wear patterns and wear rates can be observed with the rotor in place, it may be
necessary or desirable to remove the rotor from the crusher to replace any worn wear
parts.
In this manual we have assumed that the parts are being replaced with the rotor in the
machine. The major problem with this can be the removal of the build-up of material in the
rotor around the wear parts.
The most successful method of removing the build-up is by using water. If a hosepipe
is available at the crusher it is quite in order to "wash out" the build-up by inserting the
hose pipe into the hopper, directing the water into the rotor while the crusher is running.
CAUTION : Do not insert the hose pipe into the rotor, direct the water flow only into the
rotor. The use of water into the rotor may scour out the build-up in the crushing chamber.
This in itself is not a problem but if the feed size is at the maximum, chamber gusset wear
will result until the build-up in the crushing chamber is replaced on start-up.
If a hosepipe is not available near the crusher it may be possible to remove build-up
with a podger bar. If this is not possible or too time consuming, then it will be necessary to
remove the rotor from the crusher for the removal of the upper and lower wear plat,es.
Distributor plate and feed eye ring.

Rotor tips must be checked to determine the amount of wear on the inserts. Tips need to
be replaced once 95% of the insert has been removed at the centre of the wear. The back-
up tip assembly will protect the rotor body from damage therefore a tip in this condition
could be run for another shift. Experience will help the operator understand the wear
performance of the tip.
Ensure that the rotor tips are tightly held and not broken, cracked or badly chipped.
Normal Wear
The rotor tips are wearing normally. Replace when less than 3mm.
The rotor tips are wearing at the top or bottom not in the centre. Trail plate angle may
require altering
Initially, the tip carrier wear plates may wear quickly until they reach o certain profile
governed by the application. This is quite normal and should not cause concern.
Tip carrier wear plates must be inspected for wear and be replaced when there is doubt
they will last another shift, or as soon as wear appears on the top of the bolt head. Replace
tip carrier wear plates which have crocked. Check that tip carrier wear plates are not loose.
Normal Wear
The tip carrier wear plates are wearing normally. Replace when wear just starts to
show on bolt head

Uneven Wear
Tip carrier wear plates are wearing at the top or bottom not in the centre. Adjust trail
plate angle.
Uneven wear can also be caused by excessive crushing chamber build-up.
Premature top wear can be indicative of' o worn cavity ring and/or cascade wear skirt .
Premature bottom wear can be indicative of excessive build-up in the base.
In normal operation the back-up tip should be unused and in many eases is not visible
(depending on rotor tip and tip carrier wear plate style used).
The back-up tip is only exposed to wear when the rotor tip has failed or worn out. In
the event of emergency use of the back-up tips, they should be replaced once there is only
3-5 mm of insert remaining at the centre of the wear path.
Back-up tips should also be replaced if the insert is cracked or badly chipped
Irregular Wear
Rotor tips being left in place too long and wearing out.
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
Removal
Remove taper bolts. Tap rotor tip inward to break away build-up that will hold tip and
back-up tip in place.1t may be necessary to use o bar to chisel away very tightly compacted
build-up. If this condition persists it is advisable to wash out build-up with water.

Installation
Ensure that all mating surfaces on rotor tip, tip carrier wear plates and back up tips are
free of any high spots (dirt, weld spatter, burrs).
Position back up tip, rotor tip and tip carrier wear plate in rotor port. Insert taper boltsı
ensure that copper washer is in place, and tighten. (Applying anti-lock compound to thread
will make removal easier). Ensure that tip assembly is pulled up tight and that there is no
movement in the parts.
NOTE: ROTOR TIPS, TIP CARRIER WEAR PLATES AND BACK-UP TIPS MUST BE CHANGED
AS SETS. DO NOT REPLACE SINGLE PARTS OR A ROTOR OUT-OFBALANCE CONDITION
MAY RESULT
Replace upper and lower wear plates when it is obvious that they will not last another
shift. Replace once there is less than 3-5 mm of plate remaining at the centre of the wear
path at the discharge edge or inside edge
Upper wear plate wear accompanied by rotor tiptop end wear is an indication that the
trail plates are incorrectly shaped. Adjust trail plates as described in rotor tuning.
Lower wear plate wear accompanied by rotor tip bottom end wear is an indication that
the trail plates are incorrectly shaped. Adjust trail plates as described in rotor tuning.
Other Influences
As the feed eye ring wears the leading edge of the upper wear plate is progressively
exposed to wear.
As the distributor plate wears on the lower wear plate will deepen.

REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
It is possible to remove and install the upper and lower wear plates while the rotor is in
place however it is necessary to dean out the build-up thoroughly. This can be done by
using water as described in rotor servicing.
Removal
INSTALLATION
Lower Wear Plates
1.Remove rotor tips and tip carrier wear plates.
2.Remove the distributor plate.
3.Tap the wear plate towards the centre of the rotor to release it from the keepers.
4.Withdraw the plate through the feed hale.
The distributor plate wears in three places, opposite each rotor port.
Turn the distributor 1/6 th of a turn when partly worn to ensure maximum usage.
Replace distributor plate once the bolt head starts to wear once there is only 3-5 mm of
casting left at the thinnest point.
PREMATURE WEAR
Generally caused by oversize feed or material dropping from a conveyor or screen
chute directly onto the distributor plate.
Reduce feed size. Install or centralise spreader plate are available. Please contact your
dealer for more information.

Refitting
1 . Clean off centre of rotor.
2.Place distributor plate in centre of rotor.
3.Insert distributor plate bolt and tighten.
The use of large impact wrenches should be avoided when tightening bolt.
Reassembly is a straight reversal of removal.
Wear on the protective plate is largely determined by the material flow from the feed
tube. Thus as the feed tube wears the protective plate will be exposed to more wear.
To minimise the wear of the protective plate it is essential to maintain the feed tube in
the correct position.
Replace the protective plate when the upper wear plate is worn to a thickness of 3-5
mm at the inside edge.
Removal
1. Remove hopper, crusher top and cascade assembly in one lift.
2. With o hammer hit the top of the rotor (not the feed eye ring) above the wear
plates to loosen the build-up.
3. Turn the feed eye ring counter-clockwise until the locking tabs line up with the
slots in the rotor top. If material build-up stops the worn feed eye ring from
turning use o soft blow hammer to tap the feed eye ring counter-clockwise.
4. Lift the feed eye ring out.
Installation
1. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of snags. lf refitting upper and lower
wear plates ensure these are in position.
2. Position feed eye ring so locking tabs and slots line up.

Replace feed tube just before the bottom lip is exposed above the protective plate.
The feed tube should wear evenly up the casting.
Maintaining the correct position of the feed tube in the rotor will result in increased life
for the feed eye ring and upper wear plates.
Uneven Wear
Feed tube wearing on one side - feed tube not centralised.
Check feed tube and cascade assembly.
Feed tube breaks - can be caused by excessive build-up in rotor, stones wedging
between feed tube and feed eye ring, feed eye ring coming loose or the feed tube coming
loose (check clamp sleeve).

The success of the TBK is centred around its rotor. lf the rock build-up within the rotor
is ideal, then wear on the upper and lower wear plates will be even, the rotor tips fully
utilised, and the lowest consumables cost per tonne of product will be achieved.
Unfortunately, the build-up characteristics are never the same for any two materials,
indeed the nature of the build-up will vary with rotor speeds, rotor sizes, feed rates, feed
sizes, and feed moisture.
The main purpose of tuning is to ensure that the build-up within the rotor extends from
the trail plate to the inserts in the rotor tip, and that the wear is centralised across the rotor
tips.
Insufficient build-up will result in tip exposure. This will lead to early failure of the rotor
tips through the chipping of the inserts by direct contact with the larger stones in the feed.
Insufficient build-up of material will expose the supporting metal of the rotor tips. This will
also lead to premature failure of the inserts by direct abrasion from the stone flow through
the rotor. This can also result in the rotor tips wearing in front of the inserts which will
eventually lead to their falling out of the carrier plate.
5. CRUSHER SERVICING
The bearing cartridge is a grease filled, sealed bearing assembly which can be removed
in one piece (shaft, bearings, seals and housing) for overhaul and inspection.
When the new bearing cartridge has run between 100 and 150 hours, begin a series of
routine checks on the run down time of the rotor (time from power being cut to rotor stops
turning).
A significant decrease in the run down time over a period will indicate that the bearings
(crusher or motor) are deteriorating. Once the time falls below two minutes the bearings
should be checked at the next routine service time.
Operators should become familiar with the sound of the bearings running. If this noise
changes, especially if it begins rumbling, this will also indicate that the bearings are
deteriorating.

If, when standing on top of the rotor during servicing, the shaft can be rocked from
side to side with excessive float, then the radial bearings are worn.
If no-load current begins to increase slowly over a period of time, this is an indication
that the crusher bearings are worn.
Upper seals should be replaced and labyrinth repacked with grease at yearly intervals.
REMOVAL
REFITTING
1.Ensure all mating surfaces are clean.
2.Lower bearing cartridge into the bearing cartridge housing.
3.Check grease points line up with grease hoses.
4.Replace top taper ring and loosely bolt down.
5.Replace bottom inner taper ring. Replace bottom taper ring and loosely bolt up.
6.Tighten the top taper ringbolts in series to a maximum torque.
7.Tighten the bottom taper ringbolts in series to a maximum torque.
8.Refit grease hoses making sure they are not twisted or blocked. Ensure that grease
hoses are not able to fall onto V-belts during operation.
9.Refit pulley and drive belts.
10.Refit rotor.

6.BELT TENSIONING
Correct belt tensioning is the most important factor necessary for long, satisfactory
V-belt operation. Too little tension will result in slippage, causing rapid belt and sheave
wear, and poor efficiency. Too much tension results in excessive strain on belts,
bearings (especially motor bearings), and shafts.
6.1 NEW BELTS (This includes the initial commissioning of the crusher).
New belts will take a little time to settle into the grooves, and will naturally stretch in
the first days of operation. To accommodate this settling in process, it is recommended that
the V-belts are tensioned some 20% above the optimum. Refer to the Belt Tension/
Deflection Chart under Initial Installation Tension column for the recommended tension for
the standard deflection for new belts.
Belt tension should be monitored regularly (at least weekly), but does not need
adjustment unless it falls outside the range indicated in the Normal Running Tension
column
After 30 Minutes
After thirty minutes running it is recommended that the tension should be checked and
retensioned to the Initial Installation Tension values.
After 4 Hours
Re-tension to the Initial Installation Tension values.
Next 5 Days
Check tension at least once daily and you should observe a settling, requiring minimum
adjustment to maintain the tension as per the Normal Running Tension.

After calculating a centre distance from a standard pitch length make provision
that the centres can be moved closer together by the amount shown in the following table
to facilitate installing the belts without deterioration. Also, the centres should be adjustable
over the calculated distance by an amount as shown in last column the table because of
manufacturing tolerance and possible stretch and wear of belt.
4. Always use a matched set of belts and use new belts of the same
manufacturer. Never mix worn- belts.
5. Place belts on pulleys and run the drive for a few minutes. Then tension the
drive until only a sag appears on the slack side of the belts when the drive is running. An
example of tight side is shown in Figure 5.14.1.2 below. The slack side depends on motor
position and rotation direction.

1. Place a straight edge across the top of both pulleys. See Figure 6.3.1.
2. Measure the span length.
3. Using a spring scale at right angles to the centre of the span length, apply a
force to the scale great enough to deflect one of the belts the equivalent of 0.016 times
millimetres of span length (0.016 times inches of span length).
4. The force should approximate the forces shown in Table 6.3.2. “Flexion
forces” for a properly tensioned drive.

WHEN PROPERLY TENSIONED A NARROW V-BELT MAY NOT FEEL
AS TIGHT AS ONE MIGHT FROM THE TENSION THEY CARRY. THEREFORE, IT IS
AD VISABLE TO USE A SPRING SCALE TO CHECK BELT TENSION ON THESE
BELTS.
For tensioning the drive using the PERCENT (%) OF ELONGATION method,
proceed as follows. This particular method of tensioning V-belt drives was developed
primarily for tensioning banded belts.
1. Remove the slack from the belts.
2. Next, wrap a 15 meters (50 foot) steel tape around the outside circumference
of the belt and measure to nearest millimetre (1/16”). Record this length. See Figure 6.3.3.
“Percent of elongation method”.

Table 6.3.4. Elongation factors
Usually the first sign that indicates retensioning is necessary is belt slippage. This
slippage will show up in loss of power and speed at the crusher pulley and in a high rate of
belt and pulley groove wear. These conditions are usually accompanied by belt “squeal” and
also a heating up of belts and pulleys. These conditions are readily apparent and can be
detected by simply looking, listening and feeling.
