Abstract
A roller crusher that includes a frame, first and second crusher rolls arranged axially in parallel with each other and a deflection distributor. The roller crusher further includes at least one load sensor configured to detect a material load in the deflection distributor and at least one positioning sensor configured to detect a parameter pertaining to a distance between a first point and a second point of the roller crusher. At least the first point is defined on the deflection distributor or on one of movable bearing housings of the roller crusher. A method for monitoring the physical condition of the deflection distributor and a refitting kit for a roller crusher are further disclosed.
Claims11
A deflection distributor refitting kit for a roller crusher including a frame and movable bearing housings that support a movable roller on the frame, the deflection distributor refitting kit comprising:
- a deflection distributing shaft;
- thrust rods each having first and second ends and mounts for attachment of said deflection distributing shaft at a first side and a second side of the frame of the roller crusher, wherein a first end of each of the thrust rods is attached to the deflection distributing shaft via a lever, and wherein a second end of each of the thrust rods is configured to be attached to one of the movable bearing housings of the roller crusher, wherein the deflection distributor refitting kit further comprises:
- at least one load sensor configured to detect material load in the deflection distributor refitting kit;
- and
- at least one positioning sensor configured, when mounted on the roller crusher, to detect a parameter pertaining to a distance between a first point and a second point of the roller crusher wherein at least the first point is defined on the deflection distributor refitting kit or on one of the movable bearing housings.
