These wear parts are also the main parts that need to be replaced frequently. Therefore, it is very important to choose the correct impact crusher wear parts.
Impact crusher wear parts include:
- Blow bars. Impact crusher blow bars (also called hammers) are the main wear item of horizontal shaft impact crushers and a major cost driver. The purpose of blow bars is to strike material entering the crushing chamber and throw it against the impact wall causing the material to fracture into smaller particles. In the process of striking the material blow bars wear out and need to be replaced. They are made out of cast steel with various metallurgical ingredients optimized for a specific application.
- Impact plates. An impact plate is one of the primary wearing parts of an impact crusher. The main function of an impact plate in an impact crusher is to bear the impact crushing of raw materials be shot from blow bar, and rebound the crushed raw materials back to the crushing area for second crushing.
- Side Plates. Side plates are also called apron liners. These plates are typically made of high-strength steel and are replaceable to ensure the longevity of the rotor. Apron liners are also side plates that are located on the top of the crusher housing and are designed to protect the crusher from wear and tear caused by the material being crushed.

Blow Bars Selection and Qiming Casting’s Suggestion
Qiming’s Code | Material | Basis Hardness | Wear Resistance | Application |
200 | Manganese steel | 200-250HB | Relatively low | Large feed size low-abrasiveness stones. e.g. limestones. |
200T | Manganese+Tic | 200-250HB | Up to 100% increased on 200 | Same as above but where longer wear life is required. |
550 | Martensitic Steel | 500-550HB | Medium | Medium feed size of low to medium abrasiveness, such as Limestones, Asphalt, Concretes, Building rubbles with steel rebars or a small quantity of unbreakable objects. |
550C | Martensitic Steel + Ceramic | 500-550HB | Up to 100% increased on 550 | Same as above but where longer wear life required. |
650 | High Chrome | 600-650HB | High | Small feed size of medium to high abrasiveness but low strength, such as Limestones, Asphalt, Concretes, Building rubbles without steel rebars or unbreakable objects. |
650C | High Chrome + Ceramic | 600-650HB | Up to 100% increased on C650 | Same as above but where longer wear life required. |
650X | High Chrome + Ceramic | 600-650HB | 150% increased on C650 | Small feed size of high abrasiveness and high strength materials, such as gravel, granites without unbreakable objects. |
