THE CRUSHER HALTS AND THE SIGNAL LIGHT "OVERLOADING/ MOTOR
OVERHEATED" IS ILLUMINATED.
The electric drive motor of the crusher is overloaded and the protection system of the motor has
been activated. The lubricating pumps are still running.
Empty the crusher cavity, remove the reason for overload and restart the crusher after the motor
has cooled down. It might also be possible to restart the crusher without having the cavity been
emptied by simultaneously starting the motor and opening the magnetic or manual valve to
increase the setting. Note! If the motor does not start, close the valve immediately.
The voltage level of the crushing plant has
dropped, so the electric current needed for
power has increased and caused the motor to
overheat. The voltage drop can be caused by
t o o l o n g a n d / o r t h i n su p p l y c a b les ,
insufficient overall power etc.
Inspect cables and/or supply and replace as
necessary.
The crusher has been operated with too small
a setting causing a considerably higher power
need.
Increase the setting or replace the motor with
a more efficient one (max 160 kW / 200 HP).
Uncrushable material, i.e. excavator tooth
etc. has entered the cavity.
Inspect the operation of the magnetic
separator (if available) of feed conveyor.
The material to be crushed is accumulating in
the crushing cavity thus causing packing and
increasing power demand of the crusher.
Scalp clay and the rest of the fine material
below the setting from the feed.
Examine that the discharge opening of the
crusher has not been clogged. Clear as
necessary
Inspect that the liners are not worn as a "bag
shape". Replace liners as necessary.
