At the mine I work at, we have rock breakers constantly breaking boulders to smaller size so things like this doesn’t happen. Before the trucks are even loaded all of the feed is at a manageable size for the crusher. And if the crusher were to clog we have a breaker on a hydraulic arm that would clear it with ease
It's already been said, but whoever thought that dangling hook was a good idea for unjamming that stuff was on drugs or drunk. In spite of the frustration I felt watching that boy thing try to do a man's job, I still enjoyed the video. Thanks for the upload.
Whoever thought that a very unstable and inefficient hook was the right tool to clear boulder jams was not in his right mind. This would be a great place to work if you like everything in slow-mo.
This method of clearing jams is ridiculous. Put in a hydraulic arm/boom with a jackhammer-type attachment to break up the rocks. Based on the amount of time that would save in comparison to this madness, it would pay for itself pretty quickly, I am sure. They should track the amount of time spent clearing jams and do the math to see how much money they are missing out on. It's probably a significant amount. All that aside, love the videos and just subscribed. Keep em coming!
@thecouchtripper you have no clue. They could have used hydraulic jack ha,mer and unclog the entire thing in seconds. They are other videos where they spend 15 minutes to remove a rock….
@@ovidiuciuparu6421 There's a shot where they pan up and there's no truck waiting to drop a load. Before they require a better un-jamming method they'll need to buy more trucks, loaders, etc. to speed up the whole process.
@@andrewterry8092 that’s this video. Other videos of this same plant show trucks waiting. Sorry to burst your expert bubble. I’ll stop making common-sense comments.. (I won’t)
These crushers don't stop unless they are broken or maintenance is needed which is required very often. Its funny how watching this makes your mind slow down, its kind of soothing really.
Oh look 16:44 they have a variety of inefficient objects that can be lowered into the jammed crusher. I would like to suggest a few more: A teddybear, two guys in flipflops hanging from the cable with pickaxes and maybe also a scroll of paper with insults to the rock on it to motivate it to move.
Amazing unefficient company! 1. Problem: Very bad blasting, rocks are way to large in common!! That seems to be normal for them all the time? 2. Problem: Loader/Excavator operators: You should know the maximum size of the rocks that will fit into the crusher before you load them up. 3. Problem: Why to hell don`t they have an hydraulic boom fixed near the crusher with an hydrauliker breaker/hammer to break the rocks? Every crusher has this installed normally. 4. Severe Management Fail that is responsible for the shit that happens around this crusher!
Couldn't agree with you more, Its like a comedy show lol. The way there clearing jams is pathetic, Should have a old back hoe with a good reach on it and a spike to move jammers, would be so much faster and no need to run the cone empty as it should be choke fed.
Anyone else notice the cables for the dislodging hook weren’t retained by a latch on the main hook? So if hook cables became slack they could come off the main hook and the whole lot drop into the crusher.
Thanks for the cool upload! I used to operate one of these, and it never gets old. Never mind the negative comments, the workers are just fine. If these large stone hang ups are common enough, a long reach back hoe boom with a bit on the end may help to save a lot of production time.
Yes! Don't worry about the negative comments..this is a great way to unclog the crusher. How else can you unclog it?🤔Can't really have people getting down in there!👌
Roommate: WTF are you watching? Me: They're trying to harpoon the jam out of a KOBELCO GYRATORY CONE CRUSHER. R: Why? M: The giant, metal hook thing didn't work. R: Not what I meant...
Contrary to others, proposing complex over engineered solutions for unjamming stuck boulders, I amazed how well these cheap and reliable low tech tools are working.
I’ve watched five or six of these videos and they always leave me annoyed at the inefficiency of the crusher operation. As others have suggested mounting a excavator with a long reach boom with a grasping bucket to free the large rock jams. It ridicules that as soon as one jam is painstakingly freed up, the very next load creates another jam. The excavator could also clear the fine soil that has solidified making the dump more efficient. But this mine must be owned by a cheap tight ass.
You need a hydraulicly dumped rebar screen to sort out the rocks too big for the cone crusher to ingest. Dump the oversized rocks into a large jaw crusher to reduce the size of the oversized rocks and feed the result to the cone crusher. Also add a vibrating feed funnel band to alleviate the the dirt build up. The dirt serves as rock surface lubricant in the crushing process.
None of the rocks shown is too big for the crusher. Even smaller rock groups will jam up occasionally. they do need a better way to clear jams when they happen.
That's the slowest crane I've ever seen. I can think of half a dozen better things than a hook to clear a jam with. Who ever designed that hole had a different size grade of rock in mind. Having the arms that close to the hole opening was a decision made by the accountants.
No idea how I came across this but I enjoyed it. Must admit, I had this urge to get down there with a crowbar and dislodge it! 🤣🤣 A simple change in the structure could solve this. The two huge crossbars need to go across rather then downwards. Then there is a definite gap each time. Remember where you heard this first! 😉😉
yes and no. no better way to dislodge it once its stuck. to optimize this they would need to process the stone/ore a bit before hand making all the pieces small enough to fit into the crusher. then comes the argument of which is more efficient. coming up with a way to get x size rocks for the crusher. or just throw everything in and deal with it. apparently this company has decided this is the best way. whether it be for efficiency or because of cost
They could use a jackhammer attachment on the end of an extended arm excavator and break the stuck pieces that way and that'll bring a standstill for only 3-5 minutes rather than 30 playing with a loose hook
@@johnrtrucker yes because excavators are so wildly utilized over there lmfao as i mentioned before. the owned of this company has made their choice as to which is more efficient, both in cost and time.
Thank you for posting this video, and thank you, RUclips, for bringing it to my attention - it made me realize how bored and empty-headed I have become watching rocks being crushed instead of doing something useful. I'm wasting hours each day just scanning RUclips videos for no good reason at all. BTW. 11 minutes (of video time, probably a lot longer in reality) to reposition one friggin rock??? Again, Thanks @Fe2O3 & Fe3O4 - Mining & Processing and RUclips for bringing me to me senses. PS. I gave it a like because it's better than 90% of all the other BS I see on here.
The device used to clear the jams is extremely inefficient, causing a delay in the processing of the material, I believe that a mechanical arm with claws would make the service faster and more efficient.
Seems like a dangerous place to work. A giant hole with a gyrating crusher, a big hook on a string that magically appears out of nowhere and air raid sirens constantly going off
The sirens maybe signalling power shortages, so you can switch off non critical machines. In order not to burn the high voltage transformer down or get cut off from the grid by the power company. It is not recommended to switch off a cone crusher under full load. It then got stuck and it is hard work to get it running again. 😁
There’s no way this company is still in business! Everything comes to a grinding halt because of a couple oversized rocks!?!? Infuriating, especially to stockholders!

I can’t understand why they don’t properly address this hopeless issue. Even if the hook had more of a hook, it would be better. Hopelessly ineffective. A small grab would be so much better. I felt like jumping in there myself with a bar!
if the hook had more of a hook there would be a greater chance that boulders would fall on top of it and trap it as they tried to clear a jam, then they would have to shut the crusher down for men to enter it and clear it manually. the shape is intentional, a balance between being able to move the rocks and not getting stuck
Hi, Folks. Just getta bigga crusher that CAN handle those lumps. Having a moving conveyor feeder helps too.

Why not put a 500mm opening grizzly bar, so that it filters. Oversize materials could be resized with the help of a rock breaker.
Because then they would have to convey the oversize rocks into the gyratory cone first to make them small enough to fit through the grizzly bars.
