Absolutely --if you have a crusher with a set of worn cone liners you would like to review, for improved output, or service life increase, you can contact your closest Columbia Steel district manager. He will make arrangements to come to your site and measure the worn profile of a set of recently expended and removed liners, that have operated under the conditions for which you are looking for a liner improvement. We’ll identify your operating conditions and we’ll prepare a wear study of your parts with a proposal offering a service guarantee to go with the price and delivery quotation.
There’s no need for you to go to the effort of cutting these things up. Wear studies of these parts are part of our customer service. We’ve found that simple section thickness measurements are the most efficient means of obtaining wear profile data. Others have attempted more sophisticated means of obtaining the dimensional values, using expensive devices. We’ve deemed simple accurate uniform thickness measurements to be adequate (easy to hold to within .060”). The name of the game is to make an accurate interpretation of the dimensional values obtained, not in how they’re measured.
Contact your local Columbia Steel district manager and he’ll take it from there. If you don’t know who your district manager is, then contact Columbia Steel customers service at 503-286-0685 (service@columbiasteel.com) to obtain this information.
