Safety is of paramount concern throughout the mining process. Ever vigilant, Metso has developed a new maintenance platform that increases safety when changing wear parts in jaw crushers.

When the platform is installed correctly into the opening, it holds the jaw in place so that it cannot drop, even if the jaw ' s upper mounting hardware is loosened or even removed. The platform is lightweight and it is easy to handle and adjust to fit the desired level in the crusher cavity,” explains Ilkka Somero, Product Manager of Metso ' s jaw crusher line.
“ The textured aluminium platform is sturdy, slip resistant and covers the crusher cavity properly to prevent anyone from slipping or getting a leg wedged between the jaws. Due to its light weight, the platform is easy to lift into position and remove, speeding up the work of changing parts,” adds Somero.
A family of maintenance platforms is available for all Metso Nordberg C Series jaw crusher models C80 through C200. They weigh between 12 and 23 kg.
