Abstract

A mineral material processing plant including a base frame, an intermediate frame configured to be attached on top of the base frame of a mineral material processing plant and at least one actuator, wherein the intermediate frame is configured to support the at least one actuator.

Claims (18)

1 . A mineral material processing plant, comprising:

a base frame;

an intermediate frame configured to be attached on top of the base frame of a mineral material processing plant and supported on the base frame on the lower surface of attachment points; and

at least one actuator; wherein

the intermediate frame is configured to support the at least one actuator on the attachment points, and the base frame is configured to support the intermediate frame and at least one actuator; and that the intermediate frame further comprises elements extending longitudinally on the side of the intermediate frame for aligning the intermediate frame with the base frame; wherein the elements comprise a bottom surface extending below the frame structure of the intermediate frame.

2 . The mineral material processing plant of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate frame further comprises hydraulic legs configured to raise the intermediate frame from and lower the intermediate frame onto the top of the base frame.

3 . The mineral material processing plant of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate frame further comprises elements extending longitudinally on the side of the intermediate frame for aligning the intermediate frame with the base frame.

4 . The mineral material processing plant of claim 3 , wherein the elements for aligning the intermediate frame with the base frame comprise a bottom surface extending below the hydraulic legs when retracted.

5 . The mineral material processing plant of any claim 2 , wherein the hydraulic legs are comprised in hydraulic leg elements configured to be pivoted against the intermediate frame.

6 . The mineral material processing plant of claim 1 , wherein the at least one actuator comprises a crusher, a screen and/or a feed hopper.

7 . The mineral material processing plant of claim 1 , further comprising a conveyor the height and/or angle of which is changeable with adjusting means.

8 . The mineral material processing plant of claim 1 , wherein the mineral material processing plant is a mobile plant.

9 . A method of disassembling a mineral material processing plant, comprising:

raising an intermediate frame supported on a base frame on the lower surface of attachment points from the base frame using hydraulic legs comprised in hydraulic leg elements;

transporting the base frame away from under the intermediate frame, wherein the intermediate frame is configured to support at least one actuator on the attachment points, and the base frame is configured to support at least one actuator; and lowering the intermediate frame using hydraulic legs so that the intermediate frame is supported on a surface by bottom surfaces extending below the frame structure of the intermediate frame of elements extending longitudinally on the side of the intermediate frame for aligning the intermediate frame with the base frame.

10 . (canceled)

11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising pivoting the hydraulic leg elements against the intermediate frame.

12 . (canceled)
