Fuller Gyratory Crusher Design Handbook: Key Insights

The Fuller-Traylor gyratory crusher remains a cornerstone in mineral processing and aggregate production. Its robust design ensures high-capacity crushing with minimal downtime, making it ideal for large-scale quarries and mining operations.

Core Features & Specifications

– Crushing Capacity: Up to 14,000 t/h (depending on model)
– Feed Opening: 1,370–2,300 mm
– Power Requirement: 450–1,500 kW
– Eccentric Throw: Adjustable for product gradation control

Model Max Feed Size (mm) Discharge Setting (mm)
60″x89″ 1,500 150–250
54″x74″ 1,200 100–200

Typical Applications in Aggregate Production

Primary crushing of hard rock (granite, basalt) or ore feeds. Often integrated into multi-stage systems with cone crushers and screens for precise gradation control in sand/gravel plants.

FAQ Section

Q: How does a gyratory crusher differ from jaw crushers?
A: Gyratory crushers offer higher throughput and continuous operation, while jaw crushers excel in smaller-scale applications.

Q: What maintenance is critical?
A: Regular lubrication of the spider bearing and mantle replacement every 6–12 months under heavy use.

Case Study: Limestone Quarry Expansion

A Texas-based operator deployed two Fuller 60″x113″ gyratories to replace aging jaw crushers, achieving a 40% boost in throughput (8,000 t/h) and reducing energy consumption by 15%. The system included downstream VSI crushers for manufactured sand production.
