SBM MP VSI Crusher Part-Tip plate

SBM Mineral Processing GmbH is an Austrian international full-range supplier of mineral processing and concrete mixing technology. The company is headquartered in Oberweis, Upper Austria. Its history dates back to 1950, when founder Franz Wageneder laid the foundation with a revolutionary pendulum mill.

In vertical shaft impact crushing, SBM has deep technical experience. It was one of the pioneers of mobile crushing equipment and track-mounted crushing plants, helping to shape modern construction material recycling. Alongside the REMAX impact crusher series and JAWMAX jaw crusher series, the V-series VSI crushers are a core part of SBM’s technology for sand manufacturing and aggregate shaping.

When sourcing a reliable SBM MP VSI Crusher Part，the TIP PLATE is one of the most important wear parts in SBM MP VSI Crusher Part. It is mounted on the outer edge of the rotor and acts as the final contact surface that accelerates material. The material is thrown at high speed—typically 60–80 m/s—against the crushing chamber wall or material bed, achieving impact crushing and shaping.

Because of this, the TIP PLATE works under severe conditions: high speed, high impact, and high abrasion. Its wear rate can reach several kilograms per thousand tons of processed material. Therefore, it is a decisive SBM MP VSI Crusher Part for controlling operating cost and aggregate quality.

SBM MP VSI Crusher Models

SBM MP’s VSI crushers belong to the V-series. They are mainly used in tertiary or quaternary crushing stages and are suitable for medium-hard to hard natural stone, such as limestone, dolomite, granite, diabase, and gravel, as well as recycled materials like asphalt and concrete. The main models are:

Model	Max. Feed Size	Capacity	Rotor Diameter	Key Features
V 08 / V8	0–40 mm	30–85 t/h	800 mm	Compact basic model for small to medium sand and shaping duties.
V 10	0–40 mm	50–140 t/h	1,000 mm	Higher capacity for demanding sand manufacturing and aggregate cubicalization.
V 10-H	0–40 mm	50–160 t/h	1,000 mm	High-performance version with increased throughput.

The V-series is designed for center feeding, replaceable rotor wear parts, and a ring-shaped crushing chamber with uniform liners. Typical applications include sand shaping, fine particle enrichment, processing highly abrasive materials, and maintaining a stable grading curve independent of main wear part condition.

TIP PLATE — A Critical SBM MP VSI Crusher Part

Function

The TIP PLATE is one of the most important wear parts in SBM MP VSI Crusher Part. It is mounted on the outer edge of the rotor and acts as the final contact surface that accelerates material. The material is thrown at high speed—typically 60–80 m/s—against the crushing chamber wall or material bed, achieving impact crushing and shaping.

Because of this, the TIP PLATE works under severe conditions: high speed, high impact, and high abrasion. Its wear rate can reach several kilograms per thousand tons of processed material. Therefore, it is a decisive SBM MP VSI Crusher Part for controlling operating cost and aggregate quality.

Product Structure and Materials

This TIP PLATE is designed for SBM MP V-series VSI crushers. It uses a composite structure in which a carbide block G15 is fixed to a tip plate body 120×108×30 mm made of C45 steel by copper brazing.

Carbide Block — G15

G15 is a WC-Co cemented carbide. It uses tungsten carbide (WC) as the hard phase and cobalt (Co) as the binder, with a cobalt content of about 15%. This grade combines high hardness with excellent impact toughness. Its hardness is approximately 86.5–88.5 HRA, transverse rupture strength is about 2,500 MPa, and fracture toughness is about 12 MPa·m¹ᐟ².

The medium-grain structure of G15 enables it to resist micro-cutting and fatigue spalling under abrasive impact conditions. It is especially suitable for crushing equipment handling hard materials such as metal and sand. Compared with low-cobalt grades, G15 is less likely to suffer brittle fracture under high impact loads, making it well suited to the intermittent high-stress impact conditions of a VSI rotor tip plate.

Steel Body — C45, 120×108×30 mm

C45 is a high-quality medium carbon steel with a carbon content of 0.42%–0.50% and a manganese content of 0.50%–0.80%, with small amounts of silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus. It offers a good combination of mechanical properties: elastic modulus around 210 GPa, yield strength (Rp0.2) about 410 MPa, tensile strength up to 820 MPa, and good elongation. C45 also has excellent machinability.

After quenching and tempering, C45 can achieve high strength while maintaining sufficient toughness. This provides stable mechanical support for the carbide block and helps absorb and distribute impact loads, preventing carbide failure caused by body deformation. The 120×108×30 mm body is precisely machined to ensure accurate fitting in the SBM V-series rotor position.

Copper Brazing Process

The carbide block and the C45 steel body are joined by copper brazing, which creates a metallurgical bond. Copper brazing uses a copper-based filler metal with a melting point lower than that of the base materials. After heating to the filler melting temperature, the molten filler flows into the joint gap by capillary action and diffuses with the base materials, forming a strong connection.

Key advantages of this process include:

• Low joining temperature: Copper brazing is usually controlled at around 1,100°C, far below the sintering temperature of cemented carbide and the upper limit of the C45 steel phase transformation range. This avoids cobalt binder loss and grain growth in the carbide and prevents damage to the tempered structure of the C45 body.

• High metallurgical bond strength: During brazing, the copper-based filler diffuses with the cobalt phase in the WC-Co carbide and the C45 steel surface, forming a strong metallurgical interface. The joint strength is significantly better than mechanical clamping or adhesive bonding.

• Thermal expansion management: The copper brazing layer has some plastic deformation capacity. It can buffer the difference in thermal expansion between the carbide and C45 steel, reducing interfacial thermal stress during operation.

• Impact resistance: Compared with glued joints, copper brazed joints do not age, soften, or debond under high-speed impact and vibration. This ensures the structural integrity of the tip plate during high-speed rotor rotation.
