Constant Liner Performance (CLP): The Game-Changing Feature of Sandvik Cone Crushers

The Constant Liner Performance (CLP) feature sets Sandvik cone crushers apart from the competition, offering a range of benefits that significantly impact productivity, efficiency, and profitability. Standard on all Sandvik cone crushers, CLP provides producers with:

  • Consistent feed acceptance capability
  • Increased output
  • High-quality end products
  • Extended liner life
  • The lowest total cost of ownership

How CLP Boosts Crusher Production

The key to CLP’s success lies in its innovative design. The nearly vertical profile of the feed opening area ensures that the shape of the chamber remains consistent throughout the entire life of the liners. This design means that both the feed size and the volume of the crushing chamber stay constant, resulting in stable production rates even as the liners wear.

In contrast, conventional crushers require adjustments to the bonnet or bowl as the liners wear, which reduces the feed size and crushing chamber volume. These adjustments lead to a decline in productivity and, ultimately, a loss in revenue.

The Bottom Line: CLP’s Impact on Profitability

Here’s an example to illustrate the advantage of CLP:

  • Imagine a Hydrocone and a conventional crusher both producing 200 tons per hour (TPH) of finished product at the start of their liner life.
  • The liners in both crushers last one month.
  • The selling price for the finished product is $5.00 per ton.
  • Both crushers operate for 10 hours per day, generating $10,000 per day in revenue (200 TPH x $5/T x 10h).
  • Over 20 days per month, this amounts to $200,000.

With a conventional crusher, production declines by around 20% due to reduced feed size and chamber volume as the liners wear. Assuming an average monthly production loss of 10%, this results in $20,000 in lost revenue each month, or $240,000 in lost income per year.

On the other hand, the Sandvik Hydrocone with CLP maintains its production rate throughout the liner’s life, avoiding this costly revenue loss.

Increase Profitability and Lower Costs with Sandvik Hydrocone

The Constant Liner Performance (CLP) feature on Sandvik Hydrocone crushers ensures steady, reliable production and minimizes downtime. CLP is just one of the innovative design features that make the Sandvik Hydrocone a profitable and cost-effective choice, reducing the total cost of ownership and maximizing long-term returns.

For operations seeking to maintain high productivity and efficiency without sacrificing liner life, the Sandvik Hydrocone with CLP is the smart investment.
