Method and an apparatus for monitoring the amount of erosion in the waring parts of a crusher

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring the amount of erosion in the wearing parts of a crusher, in which method the wearing of the crusher is provided with a wear sensor that issues a signal to the crusher's automatic control system as erosion in the wearing part reaches a predetermined depth. Upon receiving the signal, the control system initiates predetermined actions, such as an alarm, stopping the crusher and/or ordering of a spare part. Information on the amount of erosion in a wearing part is transmitted wirelessly to the automatic control system.
