Jaw crusher come in a variety of sizes and configurations, but they all share some key technical specifications. Here’s a breakdown of some important aspects to consider:
- Feed Size: This refers to the maximum size of material the crusher can accept. It’s typically given as a dimension (e.g., 80 x 100 mm) and is related to the crusher’s feed opening size. Exceeding this limit can damage the machine.
- Capacity: This specifies the amount of material the crusher can process in a given timeframe, often measured in tons per hour (tph). Capacity depends on factors like feed size, desired output size, and material properties.
- Reduction Ratio: This is the ratio between the largest feed size and the final product size achievable by the crusher. Common jaw crusher offer reduction ratios of 4:1 to 6:1.
- Main Drive: Jaw crusher are typically powered by electric motors, though some smaller models might use diesel engines. The motor’s horsepower (HP) determines the crushing force and capacity.
- Crushing Chamber: This is the space where the material gets compressed between the fixed and moving jaw plates. Its design, including the nip angle (angle between the jaws), influences crushing efficiency and product size.
- Jaw Plates: These are wear parts that come in contact with the material. Different jaw plate profiles (smooth, serrated) affect the final product shape (cubical or flaky).
- Discharge Setting: This mechanism allows adjusting the gap between the jaw plates, ultimately controlling the final product size.
- Weight: Jaw crusher can range from a few tons for small portable models to hundreds of tons for large stationary units.

Additional Considerations:
- Feeder: A feeder unit is often used to ensure consistent material flow into the crusher, maximizing efficiency and preventing blockages.
- Dust Suppression System: Depending on the application, a dust suppression system might be necessary to control airborne particles generated during crushing.
- Control Panel: Modern jaw crusher may feature control panels for adjusting settings, monitoring performance, and offering safety features.
Where to Find Specifications:
- Manufacturer websites typically provide detailed technical specifications for their jaw crusher models.
- Industry resources and equipment listings often include specification summaries.
Remember, these are general specifications. For specific details about a particular jaw stone crusher, consult the manufacturer’s information or contact a crusher supplier.
