Main Components of Pedestal Boom System

Main Components of Pedestal Boom System

Pedestal boom system is composed of several key components that work together to ensure efficient rock breaking at crusher sites. Understanding these components helps operators and engineers better maintain and utilize the equipment.

1. Pedestal Base

The pedestal is the foundation of this system, providing a stable and secure mounting point. It is usually anchored to a concrete or steel platform near the crusher, grizzly screen, or hopper. Its solid construction allows the entire system to withstand vibration and impact forces.

2. Hydraulic Boom

This is movable and positions the breaker. It consists of multiple segments connected by joints and cylinders. The hydraulic boom provides the flexibility needed to reach different areas within the crusher zone, adjusting both horizontal and vertical angles as required.

3. Hydraulic Rock Breaker

Also known as the hammer, this is the tool that performs the actual breaking. Powered by hydraulic pressure, the breaker delivers high-impact blows to fracture oversized rocks or remove bridging material. The breaker is selected based on the hardness and size of the rocks that it will handle.

4. Control System

Modern pedestal boom system comes equipped with a control console or remote-control interface. This allows the operators to precisely control the boom and breaker from a safe distance.

5. Hydraulic Power Unit

Hydraulic power unit powers boom and hammer with regulated hydraulic pressure.

6. Mounting and Safety Accessories

Optional accessories include dust covers, safety guards, and rotation modules for added flexibility. Mounting brackets and custom fittings ensure the system fits securely into the site layout.

Each component plays a critical role in system performance. Proper selection and maintenance of these parts ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation over time.
