Jaw Crushers – The Benefits

Jaw Crushers have considerable benefits as a primary crusher. Why not have a look at some of the benefits listed below?

Making the right decision about which jaw crushers to purchase involves a lot of different factors. The points for consideration may include the type of feed material the expected productivity and the desired aggregate size. Buying the right jaw crushers to meet your needs may seem expensive but if you have selected the right quarry equipment you will soon see the expense as an investment. Just look at some of the benefits you will experience when you decide to purchase jaw crushers:

• Slower RPM – this prevents potential crusher damage which crushers with quicker RPM may experience.
• Lower Maintenance – the maintenance costs associated with jaw crushers are normally low as there is less potential for damage to the crusher.
• Versatility - The design of jaw crushers allow the input of a wide variety of raw feed materials. Jaw crushers are much more responsive to abrasive materials than other crushers.
• Cost – Generally jaw crushers cost considerably less than impactors and for this reason alone they are seen as very desirable.

However, there are also some restrictions posed by the use of jaw crushers and these also need to be taken into consideration when making your decision. These include:

• As jaw crushers bite large pieces of material such as concrete slabs slowly, steel mesh and rebar are often left embedded in the concrete.
• Jaw crushers produce a flat, elongated product.
• Jaw crushers only provide a low reduction ratio of approximately 3:1.
