The Nordberg C96 jaw crusher is a compact and robust primary crushing machine designed for tough mining, quarrying, and recycling operations. It is part of Metso’s renowned C Series jaw crushers, known for reliability and high performance in reducing hard and abrasive materials.
The C96 operates on the compressive crushing principle. Its fixed jaw and movable jaw (swing jaw) form a “V”-shaped crushing chamber. The movable jaw moves in an elliptical motion, pressing material against the fixed jaw. This action breaks down rocks into smaller sizes through repeated compression cycles. The crushed material exits through the adjustable discharge opening at the bottom.
The C96 handles a wide range of hard and medium-hard materials, including:
Granite, basalt, and other igneous rocks
Limestone, dolomite, and sedimentary stones
Concrete and demolition waste
Abrasive ores (e.g., iron, copper)
Compact Design: Ideal for limited spaces or mobile installations.
High Reliability: Robust frame and durable components reduce downtime.
Easy Maintenance: Accessible parts and simplified lubrication system.
Energy Efficiency: Optimized kinematics lower power consumption.
Safety Features: Integrated guards and emergency stop systems.
To form a complete crushing circuit, pair the C96 with:
Primary Feeder: Vibrating grizzly feeder for regulated material supply.
Secondary Crusher: Cone crusher (e.g., HP200) for further reduction.
Screening Unit: Vibrating screen (e.g., FS303) to classify output.
Conveyors: Belt systems for material transfer between stages.
| Parameter / Model | Specification / Variant |
|---|---|
| Feed Opening | 930 x 580 mm (37” x 23”) |
| Crusher Capacity | Up to 400 t/h (depending on settings) |
| Power Rating | 132 kW (175 hp) |
| Weight (Basic Unit) | ~12,500 kg (27,600 lbs) |
| Discharge Adjustment | Hydraulic or mechanical shim |
| Common Models | C96 Standard, C96 Mobile (Lokotrack) |
Consider these factors when selecting a C96:
Material Properties: Hardness, abrasiveness, and moisture content.
Production Goals: Required output size and hourly capacity.
Site Conditions: Space constraints, mobility needs, and power supply.
Long-Term Costs: Balance initial investment with maintenance and energy expenses.
Q1: What is the typical lifespan of a C96 jaw crusher?
With proper maintenance, critical components like jaw dies can last 1–2 years, while the frame can serve for decades.
Q2: Can the C96 be used in portable crushing plants?
Yes, the C96 is commonly integrated into Metso’s Lokotrack mobile units for on-site mobility.
Q3: How is the discharge size adjusted?
Adjustment is made via hydraulic or mechanical shim systems to change the closed-side setting (CSS).
Q4: Does the C96 support automated control systems?
Yes, it can be equipped with Metso’s IC automation for real-time monitoring and optimization.
