  • Start the crusher and allow it to reach normal operating speed.
  • Listen for any grinding, rattling, or unusual sounds.
  • Take note of any irregular noises that may indicate mechanical issues.
  • Use a vibration meter to measure vibrations in critical areas.
  • Compare readings against acceptable vibration limits.
  • Identify any abnormal vibration patterns that could suggest misalignment.
  • Inspect the consistency and size of the discharged material.
  • Look for signs of over-crushing or under-crushing.
  • Check for impurities or foreign materials in the output.

  • Check for impurities or foreign materials in the output.
  • Visually inspect alignment while the machine is running.
  • Use laser alignment tools if necessary.
  • Ensure all components are aligned to manufacturer specifications.
  • Collect samples of the output material.
  • Use appropriate sieves to determine particle size distribution.
  • Evaluate if the output meets required specifications.
  • Use infrared thermometers to measure component temperatures.
  • Record temperatures and compare them with operational limits.
  • Investigate any components running above normal temperature.
  • Observe the feeding mechanism during operation.
  • Check for blockages or uneven flow of material.
  • Make adjustments if necessary to ensure uniform distribution.
  • Check hydraulic fluid levels and condition.
  • Test hydraulic functions for responsiveness.
  • Look for any visible leaks or signs of wear.
  • Test all emergency stop buttons and safety interlocks.
  • Confirm that they stop the machine immediately when activated.
  • Inspect wiring and connections for wear or damage.
  • Observe blow bars for excessive wear or cracks.
  • Inspect other consumables for signs of degradation.
  • Plan for replacement if any parts are near end-of-life.
  • Check the operation of water sprays or dust collectors.
  • Ensure that dust levels are controlled during operation.
  • Inspect for any clogs or malfunctions in the system.
  • Look for unusual operational behavior or slowdowns.
  • Listen for abnormal sounds during crushing.
  • Document any potential issues for further investigation.
