Introduction

The Barmac B-Series Vertical Shaft Impactor (VSI) is unique due to its crushing process. Whereas most
other types of crusher use metallic parts to crush rock, the Barmac VSI uses the rock fed into the
machine to crush itself. This autogenous crushing process produces the best-shaped aggregate on the
market today.

The high velocity impact crushing achieved in a Barmac B-Series VSI improves the soundness and shape
of stone, reducing product moisture and easing the screening task while producing superior products at a
minimum cost.

Unmatched performance
With thousands of units operating in aggregate and mineral processing installations around the world
Barmac B-Series VSIs, with their rock-on-rock crushing action, have an established track record of cost
savings, durability and unmatched performance in the variety of tasks to which they have been applied.
These include the production of quality aggregates, sand, material for heap leaching, pre-grinding and
finished industrial minerals products.

Lowest total cost


Many benefits of the Barmac B-Series VSI are the result of designers listening to customers. This has led
to the development of a user-friendly VSI which gives the lowest possible total cost per tonne by
improving energy efficiency, reducing wear rates, lengthening intervals between servicing, reducing the
time required to perform service tasks, as well as improving crushing performance and control.

Adaptable and versatile


The Barmac B-Series VSI is an excellent third or fourth stage reduction unit and has demonstrated a
unique ability to operate in many demanding and diverse crushing operations in construction, industrial
minerals, metallic minerals and waste and recycling applications. This is possible because of the unique
free impact crushing and grinding action and the ability to fine-tune this process by simply changing rotor
speed or cascade ratio.

Coupled with lower wear costs, the result has seen the Barmac B-Series VSI find applications not only in
traditional quarry and mining plants, but also in a range of industrial mineral and specialist crushing
operations.

Product History

Like many successful inventions the Barmac VSI was born out of necessity. The Wellington City Council’s
Kiwi Point Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, is where the seed of an idea blossomed into the product
that became the Barmac VSI. The idea for the machine was created by a pressing quarry problem - high
quality stone was abundant but the crushing plant could not produce the fines or shape required in order
to make pumpable concrete. Also, the equipment in the quarry badly needed replacing. But instead of
purchasing a second hand cone crusher to fix the problem, as would almost certainly have been done if
he’d had previous quarrying experience, the Barmac VSI’s inventor, Jim Macdonald, went in search of a
more practical solution.

Other plants in the area were using Rod Mills and Hammer Mills to overcome the difficulty, but the high
costs involved in both capital and operation were impractical. Macdonald decided to experiment with the
Rock-On-Rock crushing process. He thought about what sort of rock crusher could be made in the
Council’s workshop and, as breaking stones is only a brute force activity, believed it shouldn’t be too hard
to come up with something.

The solution was based on two ideas:


1) Steel chutes with a stone lining which stopped wear that he had already seen and,
2) Stones can be broken if they are banged together hard enough.

Based on this he came up with the idea of spinning a wear resistant chute through which stones were
thrown into a stone bed sitting in a circular chamber. The first experimental machine ran in the quarry,
one Saturday morning, for about ten minutes. This session was abruptly halted when a tip assembly flew
off inside the machine with an almighty bang. That was the end of the experiment for the time being, but
Macdonald discovered they had a most remarkable product, with cubical shaped chips in all sizes. This
was unusual, particularly in very hard greywacke rock. It was decided to take the matter further so the
machine was mechanically designed through the Council’s design office.

Initial Commercialisation
Bryan Bartley and Jim Macdonald met in 1970 to talk about the invention and the final result of this
discussion was a partnership. By that time Macdonald’s provisional patent had run out and he was
thinking of giving up on the idea - the quarrymen at Kiwi Point were tired of bolting in Ni-Hard wear tip
parts every 2 ½ hours!

Bartley was able to persuade his employers, Winstone Ltd, to let him build a machine for testing at Hunua
quarry in South Auckland. After some development work Bartley began using tungsten carbide inserts

from used rock drill bits as tips in the rotor. This extended the operating time from 2 ½ hours to six weeks
making the machine commercially viable.

The next big step, made nearly ten years later, was a joint effort between the two men to overcome a
recognised drawback of the machine, that of taking shingle with a few big stones. The problem was that
feed size to the rotor was a maximum of 60mm (2½“), whereas competing machines could accept larger
stones of up to 100mm (4”). In the early days of commercialisation the machine was called a Macdonald
Impactor and by this time about 150 had been manufactured.

The solution to their problem was to allow the rotor to continue passing the smaller stones and to add the
bigger ones as a separate flow into the breaking chamber. This became the dual feed machine, or
Duopactor, and it worked well for the purpose it was designed. It also threw up an additional benefit they
hadn’t expected – it produced more fine material.

They then found that if the big stone cascade feed was replaced by the rotor size feed material there was
also a proportionate increase in the amount of fine material produced. This meant that for the same motor
power and with no extra wear costs, some 30% extra material smaller than 10mm could be produced.
This was a significant leap forward in energy efficiency and cost reduction. The ratio of the cascade feed
to the rotor flow also provided an extra means of controlling the grading of the final product. This is an
important practical advantage leading towards computer control and automation.

Global Commercialisation
Right from the outset it was obvious that Macdonald and Bartley were not interested in manufacturing or
selling the units. Their main interest lay in designing and developing commercially viable improvements
that would add value to the intellectual property. Macdonald and Bartley formed a company that was to
own the intellectual property, designs, patents and trademarks relating to their inventions.

It was during this period that Bryan Bartley and Jim Macdonald decided to re-brand the MacDonald
Impactor using their respective names as the basis. They came up with Barmac.

Summary
The manufacture and worldwide distribution of the Barmac VSI takes place from Metso New Zealand
Limited’s world class facilities in Matamata, New Zealand. Metso New Zealand Limited exports 95% of its
products to the network of Metso distributors around the world.

Principles of Operation

The Barmac B1100SE Series autogenous VSI crusher uses a rock lined rotor that acts as a high velocity
dry stone pump hurling a continuous rock stream into a stone lined crushing chamber.

Material fed into the top of the machine is accelerated in the crusher's rock lined rotor, achieving exit
velocities of up to 85 metres (275 feet) per second. The rotor continuously discharges into the crushing
chamber. This process replenishes the rock lining, while at the same time maintains a rock-on-rock chain
reaction of crushing and grinding.

A second stream of material in a controlled quantity can be cascaded into the crushing chamber
turbulence causing a supercharging of the particle population within the chamber, improving the energy
transfer. This, in combination with other variables of rotor diameter and speed and crushing chamber
profile, enhances power efficiency, reduces wear, plus provides an efficient means of controlling the
grinding and crushing action, to either maximise or minimize fines.

Control of crushed product sizes


The crusher offers a number of controllable variables which affect the final product grading.
 Rotor Speed: Increasing rotor speed increases the particles’ kinetic energy and increases the
reduction achieved.
 Cascade: Increasing the cascade flow decreases the reduction ratio achieved whilst increasing
the capacity of the crusher.
 Feed Gradation: Changing the size distribution of the feed to the crusher will affect the size
distribution of the crushed product.
 Screen Aperture: When operating in closed circuit the final product size produced by the crusher
is controlled by the screen aperture.
 Rotor Diameter: Different rotor diameters are available for some models. Changing to a larger
diameter rotor effectively increases the tip speed and the effect is similar to increasing the rotor
speed with the addition that the longer grinding arm in the rotor produces more fines than a
smaller diameter rotor with the same tip speed. Larger diameter rotors also reduce the chamber
volume, therefore increasing interparticle interaction. This is beneficial for fine feed, fine product
applications.

Application

Barmac VSI crushers are operating in aggregate and mineral processing installations around the world
with an established track record of cost savings, durability and unmatched performance. Metso has the
technology and experience in applying and servicing the Barmac VSI across the globe in an extensive
variety of applications, processing a diverse range of materials.

The unmatched producer of superior concrete and asphalt aggregate


Less cement can be used and stronger concrete created by using Barmac VSI product. The superior
shape of Barmac VSI produced aggregate allows for improved compressive strength, reduced
compaction, low pump pressures and improved finishability.

A proven producer of quality manufactured sand


Superior particle shape and consistent gradation are a direct result of the rock-on-rock principle of the VSI
crusher. Impact, grinding and abrading within the crusher simulates the action of nature, eroding the
particles to a cubical shape.

The perfect pre-mill crusher to improve mill circuit performance


The Barmac VSI reduces power requirements and increases mill capacity by reducing the top size and
increasing the fineness of the mill feed. Mill liner life is increased by providing a finer mill feed, allowing
the use of smaller mill balls to achieve the required size reduction.

The producer of fine products for the industrial minerals industry


The Barmac VSI’s crushing action gives a product with a large surface area, which gives increased
recovery of the desired mineral. The free impact reduction will preferentially crush a more friable mineral
when separating a desirable product from a waste material.

The only viable crusher for extremely abrasive fine material


The rock-on-rock crushing principle of the Barmac VSI minimizes metallic wear resulting in low
maintenance and wear costs. The low wear of internal components ensures extremely low contamination
of fine products by wearing metal parts.

Selecting and applying a Barmac VSI


Selecting and applying a Barmac VSI correctly requires the understanding of many different application
and economic factors. The rock-on-rock crushing action achieved in the Barmac VSI produces crushing
results that are different to normal tertiary and quaternary compression type crushing.

Sales Manual
BARMAC B-SERIES VSI INTERNAL DOCUMENT

Rock-on-rock crushing produces cubical aggregate that performs well in concrete, asphalt and base
mixtures. It should be considered for fine crushing, particularly of abrasive materials, as it is not
mechanically restricted in the same way as compression crushers are at fine settings. If applied correctly,
rock-on-rock crushing offers the lowest wear cost per tonne of any impact crushing method.

In most instances the Barmac VSI is applied in the last crushing phase in any crushing circuit. It is at this
stage of the process where the crushing of the final product(s) is performed, be it the production of
superior shaped aggregates, manufactured sand, mill feeds or liberation/separation of a particular mineral
from its host rock.

Aggregates and sand


The quarry industry has been the traditional home of the Barmac VSI. They have consistently
demonstrated their ability to produce high quality cubical shaped aggregates that meet all major
construction specifications. Barmac VSIs are particularly successful in producing road-base, top dressing
chip, concrete and asphalt aggregates, and manufactured sand. In these applications, Barmac VSIs can
be operated either in open or closed circuit, depending on the types of aggregates and the specifications
required.

Industrial minerals
With features such as controlled product grading, preferential crushing, low production costs and the
ability to produce finely graded products, the addition of a Barmac VSI can optimize the performance of
most industrial mineral processing installations.

In this sector, Barmac VSIs are popular as cost-effective fine crushing equipment for the abrasive
industry. Diamond mines are another sector that is becoming increasingly associated with the Barmac
VSI, which is looked upon as effective equipment for liberating diamonds from gangue minerals. Fine
crushing cement clinker is fast becoming the Barmac VSI’s forte with its proven ability as a cost-effective
pre-grinder.

Mining
In mining (metallic minerals), the Barmac VSI, with its high capacity and ability to produce finely graded
products such as mill feed, sinter feed or material for heap leach operations, is an ideal machine to
replace high cost, inefficient crushing and milling equipment. The addition of a Barmac VSI to an existing
circuit can save considerable capital funds when increased production is required from an existing milling
circuit.

Waste recycling
Waste recycling is not only environmentally responsible, it is also economically viable. As the areas of
recycling continue to increase and the global community moves closer towards higher environmental
consciousness, the Barmac VSI is establishing market areas where it can outperform other methods of
recycling recovery efficiency.

Recycled materials not only take the form of mineral aggregates for the construction industry, but also
glass, slags and other waste products that can be processed and profitably sold. The Barmac VSI
provides the perfect means of treating these materials. The versatility of the Barmac VSI allows it to be
used to great effect in many applications.

Contracting
The Barmac VSI is now included as part of Metso’s portable plant range. There is a Barmac VSI option
available if your portable application calls for superior cubical, well-shaped product.

Component Identification

All Barmac VSI machines and parts manufactured by Metso are covered by a universal component
numbering system, which is used in conjunction with the Barmac VSI parts book.

Besides standardizing all Barmac VSI internal systems, the component numbers, combined with standard
manufacture systems, allow much more accurate batch and record keeping, as well as flexibility to add,
subtract or change models without confusion.

Reference to a crusher or crusher part (other than bearing cartridge or rotor components or consumables)
in the field should include the serial number of that component so Barmac VSI engineering can check
records and avoid confusion of model or style. This will enable design improvements to be made to new
machines while still ensuring that correct components are supplied for older machines.

Automation

IC3000
Experience has proven that the key to profits in the aggregate production and minerals processing
industries lie in the ability to produce consistent products of high quality.

As in other industries, automation plays a critical role in achieving that consistency. When a Barmac VSI
crusher is combined with an IC3000 automation system, crushing load is monitored and regulated,
minimizing the risk of inconsistent product. This also results in greater crushing efficiency and, ultimately,
improved product quality and cost-efficiency.

However the benefits of applying the IC3000 automation system to the crushing process is not limited to
load regulation. The IC3000 also provides improved safety features for protection of operators and the
crusher. Maintenance time is reduced with the integrated automatic lubrication system. This reduces risk
to the crusher from damage due to under or over greasing.

Metso has developed the IC3000 automation system to provide increased flexibility and versatility, while
supporting easy operation and maintenance. This allows seamless integration of a Barmac VSI crusher
with the rest of the plant. Not only that, the IC3000 will also integrate with site level SCADA systems using
industry standard communications protocols.

A Barmac VSI crusher in combination with a Nordberg IC3000 automation system offers the ultimate in
consistent, efficient and profitable crushing.

Suggested Marketing Tactics

The Barmac VSI is an ideal third or fourth stage crusher designed to crush the complete range of ores,
rocks and minerals. The Barmac rock-on-rock crushing principle has revolutionized material reduction by
providing a crusher that produces excellent reduction at a low operating cost.

Barmac VSIs combine high velocity impact crushing with attrition crushing to produce cubical product &
quality sand. Barmac VSIs are unique amongst all vertical shaft impactors due to the pure rock-on-rock
principle. Impeller shoes or impact anvils are not needed to achieve reduction.

Why choose a Barmac B-Series VSI?


 Superior cubically shaped product.
 The lowest possible cost per tonne.
 Greater machine availability, giving more production.
 Greater component availability.
 Improved energy efficiency.
 Lower wear costs.
 Improved crushing performance and control.
 Versatility to operate in many demanding and diverse applications.
 Cost effective serviceability.
 Technical and application support through Metso’s global network.

The Barmac VSI rock-on-rock crusher is best suited as a final phase crusher in most crushing circuits.
The unique rock-on-rock crushing action allows excellent reduction and the promotion of greater amounts
of fine material than conventional crushing technology.

Due to the rock-on-rock crushing action the Barmac VSI tends to produce the best shape of any crusher
on the market. Therefore in certain quarry applications, such as concrete, asphalt and sealing chip
applications, it increases the saleability of the final product considerably. In mining applications it is
utilised as a fine crusher and in this application the Barmac VSI has been referred to as a 'vertical shaft
mill'.

The crushing action of a rock-on-rock crusher generates more fine particles than conventional
compression crushing. This can be particularly beneficial in a multitude of fine crushing and sand
manufacturing applications. Crushing of finer particles has a combination of all the processes that
generate particle reduction in a Barmac VSI.

The benefits of the Barmac VSI in the following applications are discussed in more detail:
 Shaping.
 Fine Crushing.
 Preferential Crushing.
 Disagglomeration.
 Dry Scrubbing.

Shaping
Particles crushed by the autogenous crushing action of a Barmac VSI crusher are subjected to exactly
the same conditions as sand and gravel when transported in water. The residence time of particles in the
crushing chamber range from between 5 to 20 seconds. During this time each particle is subjected to
hundreds of particle interactions from both coarse and fine particles resulting in cleavage, impact,
abrasion and attrition of the particles.

In the process, the crushing action concentrates on several properties of a particle:


 Areas of softer material.
 Areas or planes of weakness.
 Mineral boundaries.
 Flat or thin edges of a particle.

The effects are twofold; to reduce softer material at a rate far greater than medium to hard mineralogy's of
the particle and to produce cubical shaped aggregates. The reduction of the softer material results in a
harder, more resilient product, desirable in many applications of quality shaped material.

The production of cubical shaped aggregates is extremely important in many of the applications Barmac
VSIs have been applied, whether it is shaping quarry aggregates, providing shaped industrial minerals
products or reducing and shaping recyclable materials. The better shape achieved increases the
saleability of the final product, adding value to the Barmac VSI operator's business.

Fine Crushing
The high energies usually required for crushing fine particles in conventional compression crushing
equipment are not required in a Barmac VSI. The transference of energy from the spinning rotor to the
particles is very efficient, resulting in high reduction and the production of large quantities of fine particles.
The percentage of fines required can be altered by changing the rotor tip speed, chamber configuration,
rotor size, cascade ratio and feed gradation

This technology is effectively employed in fine crushing and manufactured sand applications. Product
from the crusher has cubical shape which mimics the natural sand the product is replacing in concrete

construction. Continued research in this area has shown that the use of manufactured sand when
administered in the right proportions can have a positive effect on the final strength properties of
concrete.

In mining applications the Barmac VSI is utilised for fine crushing of ore. The crushing action promotes
particle breakage along planes of weakness such as mineral boundaries, joints and micro fractures. The
ability of the Barmac VSI to produce a product with a high proportion of fines improves milling circuit
performance by reducing the energy requirement of the mill and increasing plant capacity. Furthermore,
the improved shape of the mill feed can produce increased media and wear plate life.

The benefit of employing a Barmac VSI as a pre-grinder is a rapidly growing area of sales. In this
application the crusher is used as a means of conditioning the feed in either an open or closed circuit
prior to entering the mill. This has been proven to improve mill capacity and decrease power
requirements.

Due to free impact crushing process used in autogenous VSI crushers, Barmac VSIs are under no
mechanical stress when producing fine crushed product and consequently suffer no long term
maintenance cost penalty as a result of fine crushing. A compression crusher which must be operated
with a small closed side setting results in increased mechanical stress within the crusher, which
decreases liner wear and reduces the mechanical service life of the unit.

Barmac VSIs are currently employed in the fine crushing of such materials as bauxite, fused alumina,
quartzite, cement clinker, abrasive limestone and many more difficult and abrasive materials as required
in the quarrying and mineral processing industries.

Preferential Crushing
In certain applications the Barmac VSI is a proven preferential crusher. For this to be successful there
needs to be a difference in strength between the gangue or waste rock (secondary minerals in some
applications) and the valuable minerals that require liberation.

The nature of the crushing action and the variation of strength tends to crush friable material faster than
the harder material. This feature can be of great benefit in applications where the valuable mineral
content is present as a significantly harder or softer component of the ore, as in free gold applications or
where mineralization occurs along cleavage planes.

The process of preferential crushing allows easier and effective separation between the components of
an ore. This allows much better rates of recovery and improvements in circuit efficiency. The crushing
action of the Barmac VSI allows it the ability to liberate minerals, or preferentially crush deleterious

BARMAC B-SERIES VSI INTERNAL DOCUMENT

material, without over crushing the valuable minerals. This enables increased recovery of valuable
minerals. To achieve the right degree of preferential crushing, Barmac VSI variables such as rotor tip
speed, chamber configuration, rotor size, cascade ratio and feed gradation can be altered to give the best
results.

Disagglomeration
In some applications compression crushing techniques will lead to an agglomeration of the crusher
product. In these applications a Barmac VSI can successfully be applied as a disagglomerator to
separate particles into a granular product for benefication.

At low energies within the crushing chamber, abrasion and attrition of the particles occur. This action
breaks up the crusher feed resulting in better efficiencies downstream. Then, with conventional screening
and separation methods, fine particles can be separated from coarser particles. The effect of using a
Barmac VSI to disagglomerate can, and in most cases will, have a very beneficial effect on the whole
plant, improving efficiencies throughout.

The processes and equipment downstream of the Barmac VSI receive material of superior quality making
them able to process more with greater accuracy, thus increasing output and resulting in energy savings.
Equipment upstream of the Barmac VSI can have their operating parameters altered to allow increased
throughput. The process they are trying to achieve is then taken over by the Barmac VSI.

Due to low kinetic energy required in most of these applications this is when maximum use of the Barmac
VSI's cascade ability can be made. It has been reported that up to 60% cascade can be used when in this
type of application. This results in throughputs far in excess of any competing crusher while still achieving
the same end results.

Dry Scrubbing
Some applications require the removal of surface contaminants from valuable material to improve the
final product. The rock-on-rock crushing action of the Barmac VSI lends itself well as a tool in achieving
this. The attrition and abrasion reduction mechanisms that occur at low tip speeds act to free deleterious
materials without reducing valuable materials. This results in a high quality end product.

The typical dry scrubbing application is to separate aggregates that have a clay component, such as
glacial deposits. The crushing action of the Barmac VSI and the use of cascade feed allows effective
cleaning of the aggregate at rates far greater than any competing crusher.

Circuit design considerations

Surge bin
Ideally a surge bin or surge pile should be installed ahead of a Barmac VSI crusher. This reduces surging
to the machine and downstream plant and maintains optimum feed conditions. Surge capacity should be
sized to allow a minimum of 10-15 minutes continuous crushing.

Screen sizing and apertures


Correct sizing of screens is important to ensure the operation of the Barmac VSI is successful. Screen
efficiencies should be kept as high as possible. Typically, screen efficiency should be a minimum of 85%
to 90%. Apertures should be sized to ensure accurate separation of finished product and efficient
separation. In manufactured sand applications the use of slotted media is beneficial. Also, anti-blinding
synthetic medias should be considered and screens sized accordingly.

Tramp protection
Suitable protection to stop tramp metal or over-size being fed to the machine should be provided. Failure
to do so can lead to component failure.

language is not available.

Rotor
 Fixed Feed Eye Ring - The fixed feed eye ring is only available for the 990 rotor.
 Turnable Feed Eye Ring - The turnable feed eye ring gives the option for multiple wear lives. The
ring can be turned to 3 positions.
 Flat Distributor - The flat distributor provides the most clearance through the rotor to allow
maximum throughput, but the reduced thickness reduces the wear life. It is used for low abrasive
material.
 Cone Distributor - The cone distributor has a thicker profile than the flat and will last longer. It is
the best compromise between throughput and wear life for standard rotors.
 Heavy Cone Distributor - The heavy cone distributor has the longest wear life of any distributor
and is recommended for DTR rotors.

outside of the rotor. Use with very dry feed or when moisture in the feed tends to
wash the build-up out.
 "Extended Hanger" tips promote less build-up in the rotor, but offer better
protection to the outside of the rotor. Use where build-up is naturally good.
 "EXL Extended Hanger" tips have larger tungsten pieces for longer life. These
tips promote less build-up in the rotor, but offer better protection to the outside of
the rotor. Use where build-up is naturally good.
 "Laminated" tips have a dual layer of tungsten to provide the best wear life in
applications where oversize material or tramp metal may be present in the feed
material.
- Tungsten Grade:
 "Hard" has medium abrasion resistance and high impact resistance.
 "Extra Hard" has high abrasion resistance and medium impact resistance.
 "XX Hard" has very high abrasion resistance for the longest possible tip life, but
the impact resistance is quite low. Use where feed sizes are smaller and there is
no risk of oversize material or tramp metal.
 "LF" is the dual tungsten designation with both hard and extra hard tungsten.
This provides high abrasion resistance and medium impact resistance.

BARMAC B-SERIES VSI INTERNAL DOCUMENT

- Configuration:
 "Split" tips allow the position to be swapped for extended wear life, or for
replacement of only the worn portion.
 "1-Piece" tips provide the best protection against wear from fine material.
 Standard Split T/CWP - Standard T/CWPs provide a single wear life, but depending on wear
characteristics can be swapped from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional
service life. Split T/CWPs allow for replacement of only the worn portion.
 Standard 1P T/CWP - Standard T/CWPs provide a single wear life, but depending on wear
characteristics can be swapped from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional
service life. 1-piece T/CWPs provide the best protection against wear from fine material.
 Reversible Split T/CWP - Reversible T/CWPs provide a second wear life by turning 180°, and are
also interchangeable from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional service life
depending on wear characteristics. Split T/CWPs allow for replacement of only the worn portion.
 Reversible 1P T/CWP - Reversible T/CWPs provide a second wear life by turning 180°, and are
also interchangeable from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional service life
depending on wear characteristics. 1-piece T/CWPs provide the best protection against wear
from fine material.
 Fabricated T/CWP - Fabricated T/CWPs provide the maximum impact resistance, but with a
reduced wear life.
 Trail Plate - Various trail plate shapes are available to tune the material build-up within the rotor.
Generally use wider trail plates for drier material that doesn't naturally build up, and narrower for
stickier material. Tungsten edged versions have longer wear life.
 Standard Top WP - The standard top wear plate provides minimum protection to the top face of
the rotor. It is expected that the periphery of the rotor will wear slowly and require periodic repair.
 Lipped Top WP - The lipped wear plate provides protection to the top face and periphery of the
rotor body top plate. This becomes the sacrificial wear plate and protects the rotor body from
need of frequent repair.
 Lipped Bottom WP - The lipped bottom wear plate provides protection to the bottom plate of the
rotor, and is useful when material build-up or feed rate is very high.
 Cavity Bracket - The cavity bracket set provides better protection to the rotor when chamber
build-up is very high or for some other reason there is a lot of material bouncing back on the
rotor. Cannot be used in conjunction with reversible T/CWPs.

the rotor. Use where build-up is naturally good.
 "Laminated" tips have a dual layer of tungsten to provide the best wear life in
applications where oversize material or tramp metal may be present in the feed
material.
- Tungsten Grade:
 "Hard" has medium abrasion resistance and high impact resistance.
 "Extra Hard" has high abrasion resistance and medium impact resistance.
 "XX Hard" has very high abrasion resistance for the longest possible tip life, but
the impact resistance is quite low. Use where feed sizes are smaller and there is
no risk of oversize material or tramp metal.
 "LF" is the dual tungsten designation with both hard and extra hard tungsten.
This provides high abrasion resistance and medium impact resistance.
- Configuration:
 "Split" tips allow the position to be swapped for extended wear life, or for
replacement of only the worn portion.
 "1-Piece" tips provide the best protection against wear from fine material.

 Standard Split T/CWP - Standard T/CWPs provide a single wear life, but depending on wear
characteristics can be swapped from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional
service life. Split T/CWPs allow for replacement of only the worn portion.
 Standard 1P T/CWP - Standard T/CWPs provide a single wear life, but depending on wear
characteristics can be swapped from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional
service life. 1-piece T/CWPs provide the best protection against wear from fine material.
 Reversible Split T/CWP - Reversible T/CWPs provide a second wear life by turning 180°, and are
also interchangeable from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional service life
depending on wear characteristics. Split T/CWPs allow for replacement of only the worn portion.
 Reversible 1P T/CWP - Reversible T/CWPs provide a second wear life by turning 180°, and are
also interchangeable from tip position to cavity wear plate position for additional service life
depending on wear characteristics. 1-piece T/CWPs provide the best protection against wear
from fine material.
 Fabricated T/CWP - Fabricated T/CWPs provide the maximum impact resistance, but with a
reduced wear life.
 Trail Plate - Various trail plate shapes are available to tune the material build-up within the rotor.
Generally use wider trail plates for drier material that doesn't naturally build up, and narrower for
stickier material. Tungsten edged versions have longer wear life.
 Standard Top WP - The standard top wear plate provides minimum protection to the top face of
the rotor. It is expected that the periphery of the rotor will wear slowly and require periodic repair.
 Lipped Top WP - The lipped wear plate provides protection to the top face and periphery of the
rotor body top plate. This becomes the sacrificial wear plate and protects the rotor body from
need of frequent repair.
 Lipped Bottom WP - The lipped bottom wear plate provides protection to the bottom plate of the
rotor, and is useful when material build-up or feed rate is very high.
 Cavity Bracket - The cavity bracket set provides better protection to the rotor when chamber
build-up is very high or for some other reason there is a lot of material bouncing back on the
rotor. Cannot be used in conjunction with reversible T/CWPs.

B6150SE Crusher
 Extra Chamber Gussets - Extra gussets are useful to increase chamber build-up in very fine or
dry applications, or when feed rate drops below normal for extended periods of time. The
objective is to protect the structure of the crushing chamber.
 HT SLA Upgrade - The high temperature shaft line assembly can withstand feed material from 60
to maximum of 100°C (140 to 212°F). This replaces the standard shaft line assembly described in
the main module.
 XL Base Liner Upgrade - Manufactured from hard wearing hard-faced plate, the extra life base
liners provide increased wear resistance. Upgraded liners are recommended for highly abrasive
materials and high tonnage operations. This replaces the standard base liners described in the
main module.
 Base Water Spray - The water spray kit has been developed to minimize build-up of material in
the base of the crusher when processing sticky product. The water spray kit is generally used in
conjunction with the non-stick base liners option.
 Non-Stick Liners - The non-stick base liners have been developed for use when processing sticky
material to avoid excessive build-up in the base where the build-up could cause wear on the
underside of the rotor. In extreme circumstances, the non-stick base liners can be used in
conjunction with the base water spray kit.

Control System
 VOCS - A basic protection system to monitor crusher vibration and temperature of shaft line
assembly and motors.
 VOCS 100m Cable - This is the cable between the VOCS controller (in control room) and the
data sender on the crusher. The 100m (330') cable is supplied separately and can be substituted
for the 50m (165') cable supplied.
 VOCS Strobe - This is a bright flashing light that can be linked to the VOCS alarm system to warn
operators that there is a problem with the VSI.
 VOCS Siren - This is a loud siren/alarm that can be linked to the VOCS alarm system to warn
operators that there is a problem with the VSI.
 Mechanical Vibration Switch - This mechanical vibration switch provides the most basic level of
protection when wired to the crusher electrical circuit.
 Automatic Lubrication - The automatic lubrication system is designed to supply the shaft line
assembly with measured amounts of grease during the machines operation. The system consists
of a pump, timer, and power source.

customer's SCADA system.

Crusher Support
 Support Frame - The support frame suspends the crusher on its antivibration mounts, and
integrates the support legs.
 B6150SE Support Legs - Support legs attach to the support frame and lift the VSI off the ground
so that conveyors (or something else) can be set up to clear the material discharge from the
machine. Short legs provide 1.4m (54") clearance below the crusher, and long legs 2.2m (87").
They are only available if the support frame has been selected.
 Skid Frame - The skid frame is fixed at the bottom of the legs and therefore is only available if
legs have been selected. The skid allows the crusher to be dragged horizontally to move the VSI
around a site when needed.

Service Tools
 Tool Kit - A basic tool kit for maintenance and servicing of the VSI.
 Rotor Service Arm - The rotor service arm is bolted to the side of the crusher and allows lifting of
the rotor for maintenance operations. It is necessary to have some other overhead lifting device
to remove the top of the crusher, or select the roof lifter option.

high starting and breakdown torque. Data sheets are available to check the electrical
compatibility for your customer.
 Drive Kit - Drive kit includes all needed pulleys, taper locks, and vee belts. Several different
speeds may be selected to enable speed changes.

Documentation
 Owner's Manuals - English language component manuals will be substituted where the selected
language is not available.

Rotor
 Turnable Feed Eye Ring - The turnable feed eye ring gives the option for multiple wear lives. The
ring can be turned to 3 positions.
 Flat Distributor - The flat distributor provides the most clearance through the rotor to allow
maximum throughput, but the reduced thickness reduces the wear life. It is used for low abrasive
material.
 Cone Distributor - The cone distributor has a thicker profile than the flat and will last longer. It is
the best compromise between throughput and wear life for standard rotors.
 Tips
- Tip Shape:
 "Hanger" tips promote good buildup inside the rotor, but less protection to the
outside of the rotor. Use with very dry feed or when moisture in the feed tends to
wash the build-up out.
 "Extended Hanger" tips promote less build-up in the rotor, but offer better
protection to the outside of the rotor. Use where build-up is naturally good.
