MANTLE FOR A GYRATORY OR CONE CRUSHER

A mantle (1, 1b) for a gyratory or cone crusher comprises a frame provided with a bowl (2) as a first crushing shell, and a crusher head provided with the mantle (1, 1b) as a second crushing shell, wherein the mantle (1, 1b) and bowl (2) define a crushing gap between them. The mantle (1, 1b) comprises a central axis (Z), a first end (3) and a second end (4) along the central axis (Z), and an outer peripheral surface defined by a generatrix rotating around the central axis (Z), the outer peripheral surface constituting a crushing surface (5) of the mantle (1, lb), and an outer diameter of the mantle (1, 1b) being larger at the second end (4) than at the first end (3) of the mantle (1, 1b). One or more grooves (10) are formed in the crushing surface (5) at the second end (4) of the mantle (1, 1b), and one or more cavities (20) for receiving wear resistant inserts (40) are formed in the crushing surface (5), and/or one or more wear resistant inserts (40) are bonded to or into the crushing surface (5).
