Jaw Crushers - Quarry Crushing Process

In order to produce an end product which can be used by the various industries in need of aggregate, it is important that the quarried material passes through a crushing process. Each stage of this process produces progressively smaller sized stones. These stones are then screened into size categories, each of which will be used as a raw material within a different trade.

Jaw Crushers within the Crushing Process

The primary crushing of the stone is normally carried out by jaw crushers. These jaw crushers consist of a set of jaws, one of which remains stationary and the other moves back and forth. The crusher is narrower at the top than at the bottom and the feedstock is fed in at the top and the motion of the moveable jaw is set according to the size and type of feedstock which is being crushed. The size of the crushed stone which passes through the jaws is partly governed by the gap set at the bottom of the jaws, though larger size rocks can pass through if the rock being crushed is in slab form or elongate in shape. The output from the jaw crushers is then fed into the secondary crushers, such as gyratory or cone crushers.
