LY Spring cone crusher adopts the international advanced techniques to develop this equipment. The design of spring cone crushers structure is distinguish from traditional design, and it compiles other advantage of various type of Cone crusher. So it is applicable to fine crush various ores, rocks, slag and refractories. To adopt the techniques of concave and mantle after machining process to connecter with cone surface to instead the anciently complicate techniques, LY spring cone crusher raise efficiency in rock- crushing. It is widely used in metallurgical mining, architectural, rock & railway, etc.

Image is a part of the 100 Stakhanov's project-one of the archetype identity projects. Coal is responsible for more than 40% of the world energy and situation would not change in the next decade. Miners are the archetype of the working class, their working conditions are almost the same as 100 years ago, death toll due to accidents is the highest among all of the professions. Million tones of black coal cost 1-2 lives on average. Project shot at the biggest mine in Europe named after Stakhanov. Stakhanov was the first who in 1935 made labour a matter of heroism.

The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.
The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.
