The side liner is an essential protective part installed on both sides of the impact crusher chamber. Its primary role is to shield the housing from direct wear caused by the high-speed impact and friction of materials. While it does not directly participate in the crushing process, the side liner is vital for maintaining chamber stability and ensuring long-term operation.

Side liners are generally made from wear-resistant steel, alloy steel, or composite materials, designed to withstand prolonged impact and abrasion. In aggregate plants, mining operations, and construction waste recycling lines, side liners effectively reduce maintenance costs associated with housing wear.
In addition to protecting the housing, high-quality side liners can also improve the flow of materials inside the chamber, thus enhancing crushing efficiency and ensuring consistent aggregate shape. Some modern designs adopt modular side liners for easy and quick replacement, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation.
In long-term production, the wear condition of side liners can also reflect material properties and equipment performance. Therefore, selecting high-performance side liners not only reduces overhaul frequency but also helps companies optimize maintenance planning, boosting overall production efficiency.
