Abstract

A method for lifting an inner wear part of a gyratory or cone crusher and an inner wear part lifting tool for use with the method. The gyratory or cone crusher has a frame, an outer wear part fixable to the frame and the inner wear part fixable to a support cone of the crusher which outer and inner wear part define a crushing chamber. The inner wear part has an inner surface including a first inner support surface arranged, in a crushing phase, to be supported by a first counter surface of the support cone. In a first phase, a lifting arm of a lifting tool is arranged inside the inner wear part and under the inner surface of the inner wear part. In a second phase, an upper second counter surface of the lifting arm is coupled with a second inner support surface of the inner wear part.

Claims (4)

1. A method for lifting an inner wear part of a gyratory or cone crusher which gyratory or cone crusher comprises a frame, an outer wear part fixable to the frame and the inner wear part fixable to a support cone of the crusher which outer and inner wear parts together define a crushing chamber for receiving crushable material, and the inner wear part comprises an inner surface comprising a first inner support surface that is arranged, in a crushing phase, to be supported by a first counter surface of the support cone, comprising:

arranging in a first phase two lifting arms of a lifting tool inside the inner wear part and under the inner surface of the inner wear part, wherein the two lifting arms are rigid members and are pivotably joined to each other at a pivot; and

coupling in a second phase an upper second counter surface of each of the lifting arms of the lifting tool with a second inner support surface of the inner wear part in corresponding reliefs of the second inner support surface, wherein the second inner support surface is formed in an upper section of the inner surface of the wear part.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising arranging, in the first phase in such a situation where the inner wear part is mounted on the support cone, the lifting arm of the lifting tool into a lifting tool space between the inner wear part and the support cone which lifting tool space is formed by the relief.
