Impact Crusher Wear Parts

by Tyrus Tenold, President Foundry Divisions

Spokane Industries is a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality wear parts for the impact rock crusher industry. Spokane Industries has for over 40 years been developing new and better alloys, processes and controls to improve product quality consistency and wear life year after year. We have demonstrated a long term commitment of excellence to this industry and specifically for this important product line.

Bob Tenold, current Board Chairman and former Chief Metallurgist for developing new alloys for these applications in the 60s, 70s and 80s observed, "Spokane Industries made a commitment in the early years of the impact crusher machines to develop and continuously improve alloys for wear parts. We also recognized that this passion for excellence can never end, so our current team of metallurgists and engineers are continuing this commitment."

In the business of impact crusher wear parts alloys, the phrase one size fits all does not apply! The very unique application of each crusher site must be understood before a correct match of metallurgy and machine can be made. Included in the analysis is type of machine running, type of rock to be crushed, size and volume of incoming material, is the material dry or wet, speed the rotor or table is running, and how many hammers or shoes are configured just to mention a few of the variables. The engineering and sales specialists at Spokane Industries have years of experience with these applications and impact machines and can assist the operators with the best parts for their unique operation.

Don Riley, Spokane Industries Wear Parts Sales, began his career building vertical shaft impact machines. He knows and understands how they work and what the strengths and weaknesses are with the different manufacturers. His knowledgeable recommendations have been extremely beneficial to Spokanes customer base as they assess the best parts for each application. As Don says, "no two machines or applications are the same. Spokanes Industries' history of matching the right parts with each machine has saved our customers money and reduced downtime which creates real value. That's what we bring to the operator."
