Jaw crushers are essential equipment in mining, quarrying, and aggregate production, playing a crucial role in primary crushing. Selecting the right jaw crusher model based on production capacity ensures optimal efficiency, lower operating costs, and longer equipment lifespan.
This article will help you understand how to match jaw crusher models with your production needs.
Key Factors Affecting Jaw Crusher Capacity
The production capacity (tons per hour) of a jaw crusher depends on:
Feed opening size (e.g., 600×900mm, 750×1060mm)
Discharge opening adjustment range (affects output size)
Motor power (determines crushing force and efficiency)
Material characteristics (hardness, moisture content, abrasiveness)
How to Select A Jaw Crusher Based on Capacity?
A. Small-Scale Production (<100 t/h)
Recommended Models: PE-400×600, PE-500×750
Applications: Small quarries, recycling plants.
Advantages: Compact design, low investment, energy-efficient.
B. Medium-Scale Production (100-300 t/h)
Recommended Models: PE-600×900, PE-750×1060
Applications: Medium-sized mining, construction aggregates, road material production.
Advantages: Balanced performance, versatile for various materials, easy maintenance.
C. Large-Scale Production (>300 t/h)
Recommended Models: PE-900×1200, PE-1200×1500
Applications: Large mining operations, cement plants, high-capacity aggregate production.
Advantages: High throughput, robust construction, suitable for continuous heavy-duty use.
Important Considerations When Choosing a Jaw Crusher
Material Hardness: Harder materials (e.g., granite, basalt) require stronger jaw plates and higher motor power.
Output Size: Adjustable discharge settings allow control over final product size.
Equipment Configuration: Jaw crushers are often paired with cone or impact crushers to build a complete stone crushing production line.
Energy Efficiency: Modern jaw crushers feature hydraulic adjustment and automation for lower power consumption.
