US Bronze has specialized in manufacturing the below bronze crusher and mill components for over 100 years.

We’re a single-source casting facility. Every casting step is performed in-house under the guidance of a qualified engineering team. At US Bronze we prioritize safety, quality and delivery with a focus in customer service to provide you a one stop shop for crusher wear components. 

The main types of rock crushers include: jaw crushers, cone crushers, gyratory crushers, impact crushers, and roll crushers. These are all different types of crushers used to reduce the size of materials, primarily rocks and minerals, for various applications like construction, mining, and recycling. 

Here's a breakdown of what each type of crusher does:

  • Jaw Crushers:

These are typically used for primary crushing, meaning they handle the initial breakdown of large, hard materials into smaller pieces. They work by using a compressive force between a fixed jaw and a movable jaw to crush the material. Think of it like a powerful set of jaws crushing a rock. 

  • Cone Crushers:

Often used for secondary or tertiary crushing, cone crushers are designed to further reduce the size of material that has already been partially crushed. They employ a compressive force between a rotating cone (the mantle) and a stationary cone (the concave). The material is crushed as it moves between these two surfaces. 

  • Gyratory Crushers:

Similar to cone crushers, gyratory crushers are used for primary crushing, particularly for large, hard materials. They use a compressive force created by a large, cone-shaped crushing head that rotates and crushes material against a stationary concave. They are known for handling very large boulders and are often used in mining operations. 

  • Impact Crushers:

Impact crushers use impact force to break down material. They use a rotor with hammers or blow bars that spin at high speed, striking the material and breaking it apart. The material is then further reduced as it impacts against breaker plates or other surfaces within the crusher. They are suitable for a range of materials and can be used in various stages of crushing. 

  • Roll Crushers:

Roll crushers use compression to reduce material size. They consist of two cylindrical rollers that rotate in opposite directions. The material is fed into the gap between the rollers and crushed as it passes through. They are often used for crushing softer materials or for preliminary size reduction before other crushing stages.

The main types of mill equipment include: ball mills, SAG mills, AG mills and rod mills. Ball mills, SAG mills, and AG mills are all used to grind ore in the mining industry. Ball mills are used for fine grinding, while SAG and AG mills are used for coarse grinding. 

Ball mills

  • Use steel balls or ceramic balls as grinding media 
  • Are used for fine grinding after the ore has been broken down by a SAG or AG mill 
  • Are used to produce powder-like material 
  • Can be used to increase the specific surface of mineral fractions to produce fines or filler 

SAG mills

  • Use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media 
  • Are used for coarse grinding as a primary or intermediate grinding solution 
  • Are also known as first stage grinders 
  • Are typically used in copper, iron ore, and gold mining 

AG mills

  • Use the ore itself as grinding media 
  • Are smaller than SAG mills and are typically used for smaller quantities of ore 
  • Are tumbling mills that do not require a dedicated grinding medi

 

US Bronze Foundry and Machine, Inc. specializes in the manufacture of cast bronze wear components for crushers and mills of all types. We offer finish machined, ready to install, components or rough machined components for whatever your project requires.

Crushing parts that are ready for the task 

The casting edge

A rock crusher is a machine that breaks down large rocks into smaller pieces, such as gravel, sand, hard minerals or rock dust. Rock crushers are used in many industries, including construction, mining, and recycling. Here are some examples:

  • Ball Mills
  • SAG Mills
  • AG Mills
  • Overflow Discharge Ball Mill
  • Wet Grate Discharge Ball Mill
  • Dry Grate Discharge Ball Mill
  • Wet Grinding Rod Mill
  • Jaw Crushers
  • Gyratory Crushers
  • Cone Crushers
  • Impact Crushers
  • Stone Crushers

Your crushing equipment parts source

As a leading industrial crusher parts manufacturer, we produce cast parts of all sizes. Our specialty is large cast products tailored to client specifications. We utilize static and centrifugal casting techniques and have the following capabilities:

  • Castings up to 35,000 pounds
  • Lengths of up to 80 inches for centrifugally cast parts
  • Outside diameters as large as 158 inches for centrifugally cast parts
  • No size limit for statically cast parts

Our facility has a machine shop, which enables us to deliver finished castings with precise dimensions. By eliminating time-consuming off-site secondary processing steps, client supply chains are simplified. The shop contains advanced CNC equipment capable of machining workpieces with:

  • Outside diameters of 150 inches
  • Lengths of 80 inches 
  • Tolerances are +/- .001 inches

Durable materials

Crushers are an integral part of material handling operations. Heavy-duty plates move up and down when raw material is fed into a crusher, creating enough force and pressure to reduce material sizes significantly.

To avoid breaking down, components must be manufactured from quality materials. As a trusted crusher castings manufacturer, U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine helps you select the best metal alloys for your application. Those we use regularly include:

  • C93200 - SAE 660 - Red Brass - Leaded Tin Bronze
  • C93600 - Leaded Tin Bronze
  • C93700 - SAE 64 - 80-10-10 - Leaded Tin Bronze
  • C93800 - SAE 67 - High Leaded Tin Bronze
  • C94100 - High Leaded Tin Bronze
  • C94300 - High Leaded Tin Bronze
  • C95400 - Aluminum Bronze
  • C86300 - SAE 430B - Manganese Bronze

Other metal alloys are available upon request.

Crushing and milling solutions that stand up to what’s thrown at them 

The crusher, sizer, and breaker cast products that U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine manufactures can handle all kinds of materials, including abrasive, fragile, soft, and sticky. They’re so capable because we put quality first.

A strict quality management system ensures every casted component meets applicable industry standards or client specifications. Our team can turnaround rough parts as quickly as two weeks and finished pieces as fast as eight weeks, depending on lead time and other factors.
