Obsolete bowl liners?
Posted by Tim from Perth, OT, AU on June 21, 2007
I am in Australia and have bought some new surplus bowl liners from a mining company. Do you know if they are obsolete parts or still in demand? Hope you can help. Thank you in advance.
Part number is 4830-7378 7′ SH-M bowl liner XT510 material.
Although the part is not of Columbia Steel’s manufacture, it is still a viable part. We make that bowl liner and still have a few users of that profile.
That bowl liner is classified as a “medium crushing liner -- long conventional”. It’s most commonly used with mantle OEM # 5013-9268. The optimum sizing range for this liner set is reducing 3.000-inch top size material with a blend of 2.000-inch x 1.000-inch mean size at .250-inch to .500-inch discharge setting.
The only odd lot consideration of the use of this part is that it fits “fine” bowl frames only. The majority of Symons crusher bowl frames are of the “coarse” variety. So those surplus liners you got a hold of will have a more limited range of use, simply due to what bowl frame they fit.
We’ve made available several different subsequent profiles for 7-foot Symons S.H. cones that are designed to work in that sizing range, and which react differently to different materials and offer more extended life spans than the profile we’re discussing here. However, the short answer to your question is: yes, that is still a viable liner profile, although not optimum for every application -- and take care with which bowl frame it fits.
