Both Jaw crusher and gyratory crusher are coarse crushing machine, now let`s make a general comparison about this two kind of crushers as follows:
As for the specification, these two kinds of crushers have the same ratio of reduction, and gyratory crushers have a grinding effect on the ore stone when the main shaft rotates. So it has a stronger crushing ability and the product is finer.
As for the structure, gyratory crusher is complex and jaw crusher is simple which is easier for maintenance
For the adaptability with ore stone, jaw crusher has a vertical stroke which is easy for discharge, and be able to deal with the dehydrated ore stone.
Based on above factors, jaw crusher and gyratory crusher each has its own merits. Generally speaking, for the large enterprises, gyratory crusher is a good choice, and for small factory, jaw is enough.
But if the ore stone is high viscosity, even for the big enterprise, jaw is the only option.
