MP SERIES CONE CRUSHER TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
When storing the Crusher for an extended period of
time (longer than one year) it is recommended that
a replacement part for the upper and lower “T” and
“U” seals as well as a replacement for all outer
seals on shaft components be kept on hand.
When Crusher is put back into service, closely
monitor the condition of the filters and the
lubrication oil in order to avoid any problems
caused by contamination.
2.22 Long Term Storage of a Crusher
The following is Metso Minerals recommendations
for LONG TERM STORAGE (up to two years) of
a crusher
When storing a Crusher for a period of no more
than two years, follow the procedure described in
Storage of a Crusher
earlier in this section along
with these additional recommendations.
After components are received at the long-term
storage facility they must be inspected for any
damage to the protective coatings and any area that
has had the coating rubbed off must be recoated
with 4 mils (0.10 mm [0.004 inches]) (2 coats) of
CRC Industries SP 400 (corrosion inhibitor) or
equivalent. All components are to be stored indoors
except for the main frame, adjustment ring, head
assembly and bowl and hopper assembly. The
components to be stored outdoors must first have
any plastic wrap removed, the corrosion inhibitor
coating inspected for proper coverage and the
component completely covered with a tarpaulin.
The tarpaulin must be supported by bracing and
positioned to shed any water away from the
component.
When the Crusher or any of its components are
brought out of storage, all fluids must be drained
completely and the components refilled with the
fluids required for proper operation. Flushing with
the specific oil to be used in the unit would be
required only if the Mobilarma 522 or equivalent is
contaminated or has water in it. All machined
surfaces and all surfaces that are in the flow path of
the lubrication oil that were coated with a corrosion
inhibitor must be thoroughly cleaned with solvents
prior to assembly.
