Jaw crushers are widely used in mining, construction, and recycling. Due to their rugged reliability and robust processing capacity, they fulfill the important task of crushing material at the primary stage. This article details the jaw rock crusher types. Hope this can help your business.
1. Classified by the Oscillation Mode of the Movable Jaw
1) Single Pendulum Jaw Crushers (SPJC)
With a SPJC, the movable jaw path is defined across the arc in a narrow area about the loop from a fixed-axis suspension spindle.
The SPJC is structurally robust and will effectively crush very hard, abrasive materials.
The SPJC has a very high capacity and must be designed to withstand extremely high-weight/inertia forces. Therefore, the concrete foundation must withstand very high demands.
2) Compound Pendulum Jaw Crushers (CPJC)
This is a new and modern type of equipment. The movable jaw is suspended at the top and moved at the bottom with very complex sway movement from the eccentric development and the toggle plate.
Overall the CPJC design is much more compact and lighter. It has particularly lesser energy consumption per unit, potential uniformity of wear, maintenance is better. More, this machine also represent the highest computed and operating type of jaw crushers, since they are actively designed into the whole industry and indeed the world.
2. Classified by Drive Method
1) Traditional Jaw Crushers
The traditional type of jaw crusher machine relies on operation from fixed jaws digitally attached to movable jaws, predominantly with a motor drive.
Despite having limited moving parts and limited intelligence and automation, the traditional type of jaw rock crusher is still used globally by both sectors and manufacturers. It offers a great advantage in terms of price and ease of upkeep, etc.
2) Hydraulic Jaw Crusher
The hydraulic jaw crusher has a fair degree of control, smart control systems, vector motors. More, its default mesh position accurate to the millimetre.
Maximised designed crushing chambers that consume, degrade and wear much proper and less overall wear and energy while handling higher throughput-products. Even more severely damaging, our hydraulic jaw crusher to re-position will be extremely accurate.
3) Intelligent Jaw Crushers
Intelligent jaw crushers are the most advanced crushing systems in use today. It embed sensor, smart control, automation, and automation with IoT.
3. Classified by Mobility
1) Mobile Jaw Crusher (Tire-Type, Track-Type)
Mobile jaw crushers (both tyre and tracked) are mobile/transportable chassis with the flexibility to be used in a variety of project scopes for regional and rapid transfers (and without the need for bulky infrastructure).
Tyred mobile jaw crushers – can be transported over the road (for projects where the site location needs to be changed).
Tracked mobile jaw crushers – Off-road mobility for rapid movement and positioning in rocky areas (e.g. mining sites, demolition sites).
2) Fixed Jaw Crusher
Stationary jaw crushers need to be permanently installed on a concrete foundation. Their large size and high production capacity make them the centrepiece of large stone production lines, large mines, and quarries.
Their fixed installation reduces vibration and ensures stability during long-term, large-scale operation, making them a core workhorse for large-scale production.
4. Classified by Feed Opening Size
1) Small Jaw Crusher
Small jaw crushers have compact structures, the feed opening sizes of an average of less than 300 mm, and low processing capacity (1-50 tons / hour). Small jaw crushers are small in size, easy to operate, and low in energy consumption, making them suitable for work sites in labs, small quarries, and small-batch material recycling.
2) Medium Jaw Crusher
Medium jaw crushers have a feed opening size of 300-600 mm, and processing capacity (50-500 tons / hour).
Medium jaw crushers are mostly functional, can efficiently crush a variety of construction aggregate and medium-hard ore. They are commonly used in medium-sized mining, construction, and other applications.
They also tend to hold a good balance overall in cost performance, size, and production capacity, which makes them commonplace in sand and gravel plants and small/medium-sized mines.
3) Heavy-Duty (Large) Jaw Crusher
Heavy duty jaw crushers (have a feed opening width ≥ 600 mm) are designed uniquely for large-scale crushing of large-sized material and large hard rock.
They are constructed to withstand robust wear and tear. Also, it possesses a large motor power and extremely high production capacity (normally over 500 tons/hour).
Due to these features, they are used for primary crushing in large mining and quarry operations, and they are the backbone of a stone production line.
Conclusion
Jaw crusher products come in different ways, with the main differences consisting of fundamental structural principles, technical degree, etc., mobile and fixed types, and the capacity to process material. Knowing these differences will help you choose the best option based on the characteristics of the material, production requirements, and much more.
