The purpose of the study described in the work was to evaluate the operating wear of the SANDVIK CV117 centrifugal crusher working in the Melaphyre mine in Grzedy. The research was carried out on work elements, such as the lining assembly, rotor tips, shredder hammers, the directional bushing, and the distributor divider. All components had direct contact with the aggregate, and their operating time was about 1150 hours. The studies included a mine full scale observation, macroscopic analysis of the elements, and an assessment of the impact of exploitation on selected structural properties of the elements material. On the basis of the carried out analyses, it was concluded that the major problem faced by all the tested components is the simultaneous interaction of high friction and impact forces resulting from the kinetic energy of the accelerated grains of the material acquired from the rotor during operation of the crusher.
