Why This Shipment Matters for Your Productivity
For a primary crusher as powerful as the C160, the jaw plates are the "teeth" of the operation. Any failure or premature wear leads to costly downtime. This 65-ton consignment was manufactured under our strict In-house production protocols at our 42,000 m² facility, ensuring every plate meets the DUMA standard of excellence.
In-house C160 Wear Part
The DUMA Technical Edge: Engineered for the African Terrain
African mining sites often deal with high-hardness ores that demand more than just "standard" parts. Here is how we prepared this batch:
- Premium Material Grade: We utilized our specialized Mn22 (High Manganese) alloy to ensure maximum durability under extreme impact.
- Precision Heat Treatment: Each jaw plate underwent our microcomputer-controlled water toughening process. This eliminates brittle carbides and creates a pure Austenitic structure, allowing the surface to work-harden to over HB500 while the core remains tough.
- Perfect Fit Accuracy: Using our precision machining shop, we guaranteed that the dimensions of these Moving and Fixed Jaws perfectly match the C160 host machine's tolerances. This "Ready-to-Use" precision prevents on-site installation delays.

Quality You Can Trace
In C160 wear part real shot, you can see our meticulous way in production. For every batch in this 65-ton shipment, we provide:
Full Batch Traceability: Every piece is linked to its original material and heat treatment report.
Non-Destructive Testing: We performed UT (Ultrasonic) and MT (Magnetic) testing to ensure no internal casting defects.
Metallographic Inspection: Ensuring a pure internal structure to prevent cracking under the heavy loads of a C160 crusher.
