Liner Development Process Summary
Liner Development Process Summary
H-E Parts specializes in customizing crusher liners to suit specific site conditions and individual requirements to
optimize crusher performance and reduce/improve cost of ownership.
2. H-E Parts has developed methods to improve the following common goals with different designs:
• Liners are designed to suit each individual site’s specific performance parameters and requirements
(taking into consideration; - Site conditions, plant setup, crusher settings, application etc.)
• In order to reverse engineer liners and/or obtain site specific wear data for the purpose of analysis and
development, H-E Parts implement the use of specialize measuring equipment: -
o Surphaser Laser Scanner – accuracy 0.3mm.
o Faro Arm – accuracy 0.02mm.
• Designs are validated and optimized with the use of H-E Parts proprietary wear simulation and crusher
modelling software ChamberVision® and CrusherVision® , along with Discrete Element Modelling (DEM)
software. This allows H-E Parts to test the effects of modifications, and design liners to achieve specific
performance targets.
• ChamberVision® Wear Modelling:
H-E Parts advanced wear modelling capabilities allow us to simulate what the concave and mantle
thicknesses are (and general chamber shape) at any point of the liner’s life. This allows H-E Parts to:
o Design liners to suit shut-down schedules and provide wear monitoring parameters.
o Optimise liners to increase material utilisation & reduce material wastage.
o Ensure that an adequate chamber shape (Feed Opening Chamber Length etc) can be maintain
throughout full life of liner set.
o In Gyratory application this allows us to predict liner wear across multiple mantle sizes, allowing
liners to be designed to utilise the full stroke of each mantle size while maximising the life of the
concaves at a given targeted gap setting.
Our advanced crusher performance simulation software allows us to test and valid design modifications
ahead of time to provide a high degree of confidence that they will perform as expected. This provides
predictions of:
o Throughput.
o Power draw.
o Prediction of crushed product distribution.
o Scenario testing to estimate the effects of changing machine parameters such as speed and
eccentric throw.
o Design-stage analysis tools to prevent issues such as chamber packing.
• H-E Parts also makes use of the latest DEM software. We use the Rocky DEM crusher module package.
• Whereas CrusherVision® can only consider 2D profiles and has its limitations in situations where there is a
high level of inter-particle crushing, this DEM module is able to model each individual particle and their
interactions in 3D.
5. Typical Deliveries:
• Lead times are typically about 20-24 weeks to allow for pattern making but reduced to about 16-18 weeks
thereafter.
6. Quality Assurance:
7. Implementation Process:
H-E Parts’ priority in liner development is to minimise risk at all stages. The incremental approach proposed
below reflect this low risk approach.
Liner development should be viewed as an ongoing process in which H-E Parts is committed to working with
the end user to achieve their target goals to ensure ongoing suitability. While an optimised design may be
suitable at the time of manufacture, changing pit conditions, and/or production requirements, and control
systems may lead to the design being revised over time.
The development process will be fully supported by H-E Parts’ site representative, with regular site visits to
ensure that goals are met, and corrective action is put in place if any deficiencies are identified. This ongoing
liner development and wear monitoring is offered free of charge as part of our on-going product support
services.
