What is a Jaw Crusher Stone?
A jaw crusher is a primary crushing machine used in the first stage of size reduction in mining, quarrying, and construction industries. The term “jaw crusher stone” typically refers to the machine itself that is used to crush stone and rock materials, or sometimes to the crushed stone product it produces. It operates on the principle of compression, where two rigid jaws—one stationary (fixed jaw) and one moving (swing jaw)—squeeze the fed materials between them to break them into smaller pieces. Its robust and simple design makes it a cornerstone of rock crushing operations worldwide.
Main Applications
Jaw crushers are primarily employed in the following sectors:
Mining: For primary crushing of ores like gold, copper, iron, and other minerals.
Quarrying: For crushing large granite, basalt, limestone, and other rock into specific sizes for construction aggregates.
Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling: For processing concrete, bricks, and asphalt debris into reusable materials.
Aggregate Production: In sand and gravel plants to produce various sizes of crushed stone for use in concrete, road base, and other infrastructure projects.
Materials It Can Crush
Jaw crushers are highly versatile and can process a wide range of hard and abrasive materials, including:
All types of natural stone: Granite, basalt, quartzite, limestone, sandstone.
Ores and Minerals: Iron ore, copper ore, manganese ore, gold ore, lead-zinc ore.
Construction & Demolition Waste: Concrete, reinforced concrete, bricks, asphalt.
Other Materials: Slag, glass (for recycling purposes).
Key Features and Advantages
Jaw crushers are favored for several distinct characteristics:
Simple and Robust Structure: Ensures high reliability, ease of maintenance, and long service life.
High Crushing Efficiency: Powerful compression force effectively breaks even the hardest rocks.
Versatility: Capable of handling a wide variety of feed materials and sizes.
Easy Maintenance: The design allows for easy access to wear parts like jaw plates.
Cost-Effectiveness: Lower initial investment and operational costs compared to some other crusher types.
Deep Crushing Chamber: Enhances capacity and allows for larger feed size.
Model Parameters and Our Offerings
Jaw crushers come in various models and specifications, characterized by key parameters such as:
Feed Opening Size: The dimensions of the opening where the rock is fed (e.g., 750x1060mm, 1200x1500mm), determining the maximum feed size.
Capacity (TPH): The throughput in tons per hour, varying with material type and size.
Power (kW): The motor power required to drive the crusher.
Closed Side Setting (CSS): The smallest gap between the jaws, which determines the final product size.
