A PE Jaw Crusher is a classic primary crushing machine designed for breaking large rocks and ores into smaller, manageable sizes. The “PE” stands for “Primary Edition” or “Primary European-type” in common industry usage, but in most markets it simply refers to the traditional single-toggle jaw crusher widely used in mining and aggregate production. Known for its simple structure, stable performance, and high crushing ratio, the PE jaw crusher has been a reliable solution in quarries and mining sites for decades.
The PE series covers a wide range of models, from small laboratory units to large industrial machines. Common models include:
PE-150×250
PE-250×400
PE-400×600
PE-500×750
PE-600×900
PE-750×1060
PE-900×1200
Each model is defined by its feed opening size (width × length in mm). Smaller models are suitable for small quarries or secondary crushing stages, while larger models are designed for heavy-duty primary crushing in large-scale mining operations.
A PE jaw crusher mainly consists of:
Frame
Fixed jaw plate
Movable jaw plate
Eccentric shaft
Toggle plate
Flywheel
Adjustment device
Motor and transmission system
The frame is usually made of cast steel or welded steel plates for high strength. Jaw plates are made of high manganese steel for better wear resistance.
The motor drives the eccentric shaft through a belt pulley. The eccentric shaft causes the movable jaw to move back and forth. When the movable jaw approaches the fixed jaw, the material is crushed by compression. When it moves away, the crushed material is discharged from the bottom opening. This periodic movement ensures continuous crushing.
Compared with the C Series Jaw Crusher and European Jaw Crusher types, the PE jaw crusher focuses on simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
Key differences include:
Structure: PE uses a classic single-toggle design; European models often feature more advanced hydraulic systems.
Cost: PE jaw crushers are generally more affordable.
Maintenance: PE models are easier to maintain due to simpler components.
Technology Level: Newer European types may offer higher efficiency and automation.
For projects where budget control and reliability are priorities, PE jaw crushers remain a practical choice.
Below is a reference example (actual data may vary by manufacturer):
| Model | Feed Opening (mm) | Max Feed Size (mm) | Capacity (t/h) | Motor Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PE-400×600 | 400×600 | 340 | 16–65 | 30 |
| PE-600×900 | 600×900 | 500 | 50–160 | 55–75 |
| PE-900×1200 | 900×1200 | 750 | 220–450 | 110–132 |
We can recommend the right model according to raw material size, required output size, and production capacity.

We understand that different projects have different requirements. We can customize the PE jaw crusher according to:
Special feed size
Required discharge size
Steel structure or mobile chassis
Motor brand and voltage
Wear-resistant materials
Automation control system
OEM and ODM services are available to meet specific project demands.
1. What is the service life of jaw plates?
It depends on the material hardness and working hours. High manganese steel plates can last several months under normal conditions.
2. How to adjust the discharge size?
The discharge opening can be adjusted by changing the toggle plate or using the adjustment device.
3. Can PE jaw crusher be used in a mobile crushing plant?
Yes, it can be mounted on a mobile chassis for flexible operation.
4. What is the delivery time?
Normally 15–30 days depending on the model and customization requirements.
If you are looking for a reliable and cost-effective primary crushing solution, the PE Jaw Crusher remains a proven choice in the global mining and aggregate industry.
