Selecting the right crusher for your operations

Like the jaw crusher, the cone crusher provides a relatively low cost crushing solution, but there are application drawbacks that may make another crushing solution more appealing. First, cone crushers cannot accept all material sizes. Any material fed to the crusher must be pre-sized for that particular crusher (usually 200mm or less).

Specifying a Jaw Crusher – Three Simple Rules to Size By

For example, a 40- x 51-in. jaw crusher calls for a maximum feed size of 32-in., a CSS range of 4- to 8-in.; and produces a desired product size that fits within that CSS range. While various crusher sizes have similar CSS range spans, some crushers operate in a bit tighter CSS range than others. The key is looking at the desired …

Roll Crusher

Figure 6.4 is a typical set-up where ores crushed in primary and secondary crushers are further reduced in size by a rough roll crusher in an open circuit followed by finer size reduction in a closed circuit by a roll crusher. Such circuits are chosen as the feed size to standard roll crushers normally does not exceed 50 mm.

Estimate Jaw Crusher Capacity

The tables also show that for a comparable maximum size of feed and setting, a gyratory crusher has a much greater capacity than a jaw crusher. The gyratory crusher obtains this advantage only at the cost of greater power to drive the crusher. Capacities and Horsepower of Jaw Crusher (tons/hr)

Crushing devices hold feed material between two solid surfaces and apply sufficient force to fracture or deform that material. Primary crushing operations takes boulder size feeds (20 to 100 inches) and reduces the material to secondary crusher feed size (1 to 20 inches) or mill feed size (0.5 to 3 inches).

Jaw Crushers

The crushing ratio of a jaw crusher results from the maximum achievable final fineness in relation to the maximum feed size. For Retsch jaw crushers, this lies between 26 and 220. A high value reflects the capacity of a jaw crusher to accept large sample pieces and provide powerful crushing performance, resulting in high final fineness.

Jaw Crusher

Jaw crushers find a wide application for brittle materials. For example, they are used for comminution of porous copper cake. A Fritsch jaw crusher with maximal feed size 95 mm, final fineness (depends on gap setting) 0.3–15 mm, and maximal continuous throughput 250 Kg/h is shown in Fig. 2.8.

How To Size A Jaw Crusher

A Jaw Crusher is sized so that the maximum feed size is 80% of the gape and width openings. The gape is the measurement between the two jaw dies, while the width is the measurement between the two side plates. For example, if the maximum feed size is 29"x49", the crusher gape would be 32" and the width would be 54".
