CRUSHER IDENTITY??
Posted by GUSTAVO from CHULA VISTA, CA, US on August 10, 2007
HAVE IN OUR HANDS A CRUSHER THAT LOOKS PRETTY MUCH LIKE A CEDAR RAPIDS…. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND SERIAL No. NOR A MODEL ….. THIS IS A JAW ABOUT 30x42…
BUT IT HAS CASTED ON IT…. MADE IN ARGENTINA!!!!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT COMPANIES MANUFACTURE OR MANUFACTURED CRUSHERS IN ARGENTINA?
Had to do some research on this one with our resident Cedarapids expert (he used to sell them), and we came up blank as far as the original CR ever being involved in out-of-the country licenses. The older line mining crusher suppliers like Traylor Engineering (now FFE Minerals), or Allis-Chalmers (now Metso) were the jaw crusher manufacturers most likely to get involved in short lived arrangements like that.
Currently there is a new model with a crusher that size, the “world crusher” (that’s a Jaques / Cedarapids deal from Terex). Jaw dies for this crusher look like a Cedarapids with the stable jaw having end flanges with cheek plate lands on the sides, and the movable jaw just having the tapered ends -- held in with a wedge.
Not much help I’m afraid. Sketches with the basic fitting dimensions can be compared to existing equipment to make a cross match. That kind of information combined with photos work pretty well for identification. We’ve had to do that many times on inquiries like this.
