NORDVIK Gyratory Crusher GC Series

Name: NORDVIK Gyratory Crusher GC Series
Brand: NORDVIK

High-capacity primary crushing for the largest mine feeds

The NORDVIK GC Series gyratory crusher is engineered for the most demanding primary crushing duties in mining, metallurgy, construction and hydropower. A deep, large-diameter crushing chamber accepts run-of-mine feed of 1,000 – 1,500 mm and driven by 450 – 1,500 kW motors delivers 5,000 – 17,000 t/h of continuous reduction. The robust cast-steel main frame, hydraulic mainshaft support and top-serviceable wear liners keep the world's largest surface and underground operations producing around the clock.

Key Features

Deep crushing chamber — The steeply angled, large-diameter chamber provides continuous high-capacity reduction with lower liner wear and a consistent product shape.
Cast steel main frame — One-piece cast steel top shell and bottom frame deliver exceptional rigidity and durability for continuous 24/7 primary crushing duty.
Hydroset system — Hydraulic mainshaft support allows instant, safe adjustment of the crusher setting under load and rapid clearing of a packed chamber.
Spider-arm protection — Reinforced spider assembly with replaceable arm shields protects the top of the crusher from direct impact of large feed.
Top-service design — Concave liners and wear parts are replaced from the top with service platforms, minimizing downtime and confined-space work.
Automation ready — Supplied with position, pressure and temperature sensors for integration with the NORDVIK ACS automated control system.

How it works

Working Principle

A gyratory crusher operates on a spider-mounted mainshaft with a crushing head that gyrates eccentrically inside a fixed concave crushing chamber. Material entering at the top is progressively crushed as the head moves toward and away from the concave wall, with reduction continuing until the product falls through the discharge opening. The continuous gyrating action delivers higher throughput per unit of energy than a jaw crusher of equivalent feed size, making it the most economical choice for very high-capacity primary stations.

Applications

Primary ore crushing

Reduction of run-of-mine ore from large open-pit and underground mines, feeding secondary and tertiary circuits.

Large hard-rock quarries

High-tonnage production of crushed stone where a single machine must sustain 5,000+ t/h.

Aggregate plants

Producing the primary feed for complete aggregate processing plants and dam projects.

Underground installations

Modular top and bottom shells allow sectional lowering into underground crushing chambers.

Metallurgy & hydropower

Coarse crushing duty for metallurgical plants and large water conservancy and hydropower projects.

Materials

Iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, molybdenum ore, bauxite, nickel ore, granite, basalt, gabbro, diorite, quartzite, sandstone, limestone and other hard and medium-hard rocks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum feed size of the GC series?

The largest model, GC 70-89, accepts feed up to 1,780 mm. Across the range, feed openings run from 1,066 to 1,575 mm, matched to your blast fragmentation.

How is the closed side setting adjusted?

The GC Series uses a hydroset system: hydraulic fluid beneath the mainshaft piston raises or lowers the crushing head, changing the setting in seconds — under load if required.

Can the GC crusher be installed underground?

Yes. The main frame splits into transportable sections that can be lowered through shafts and reassembled in underground chambers.

What is the delivery time for a GC gyratory crusher?

Typical manufacturing lead time is 4 – 6 months depending on model. Contact our sales engineers with your required capacity for a confirmed schedule and quotation.

Which liner options are available?

Manganese steel concaves and mantles in several profiles and grades (Mn13Cr2 to Mn22Cr2) are offered to match ore abrasiveness and target product size.
