Jaw Crusher
What is jaw crusher?
Jaw crusher is a kind of mechanical equipment widely used for crushing large materials such as ore and building materials.
The following is a detailed introduction to jaw crusher:
Definition and basic composition
The jaw crusher consists of two jaw plates, the moving jaw and the static jaw, forming a crushing chamber. It simulates the movement of the two jaws of an animal to complete the material crushing operation. It is widely used in the crushing of various ores and bulk materials in the mining and smelting, building materials, highways, railways, water conservancy and chemical industries. The maximum compressive strength of the crushed material is 320Mpa.

How does jaw crusher works?
1. Overview of working principle
The working principle of a jaw crusher is to apply pressure and shear force to the material through the relative movement between the movable jaw plate and the fixed jaw plate, thereby achieving material crushing. Its core component is the crushing chamber, which is composed of a fixed jaw plate and a movable jaw plate. The material is crushed by being squeezed, split, bent and broken in the crushing chamber.
2. Detailed description of working principle
The working process of a jaw crusher can be divided into the following stages:
(1) Motor drive
The motor transmits power to the eccentric shaft through a belt and a pulley to make it rotate.
(2) Eccentric shaft rotation
The rotation of the eccentric shaft drives the movable jaw plate to move up and down periodically. The movable jaw plate is connected to the eccentric shaft through a toggle plate, and the movement trajectory is curved.
(3) Jaw plate movement
When the movable jaw plate approaches the fixed jaw plate, the material is clamped between the two jaw plates and is crushed by being squeezed, split, bent and broken.
When the movable jaw plate moves away from the fixed jaw plate, the crushed material is discharged from the discharge port below the crushing chamber under the action of gravity.
(4) Cyclic operation
With the continuous operation of the motor, the movable jaw plate moves periodically, continuously crushing and discharging materials to achieve batch production.
3. Working characteristics of jaw crusher
- Crushing method: flexural extrusion type, high crushing efficiency, the material in the crushing chamber is subjected to multiple forces (extrusion, splitting, bending).
- Crushing chamber design: The crushing chamber is large at the top and small at the bottom, which is convenient for material entry and discharge.
- Scope of application: Mainly used for coarse and medium crushing of materials with high compressive strength such as ores and rocks, with a wide range of feed particle sizes (125-1200mm) and an adjustable discharge port.
