Crazy Crusher

hand operated jaw crusher

Hand Operated Jaw Type Ore Crusher – Grinder That above, looks crazy, but this below IS Totally CRAZY! Figure 66 shows the Taylor Hand Crusher. This consists of two jaws, one of which is stationary and one of which is operated by the hand lever. Both jaws are faced with hard white iron. The movable […]

High Capacity Crusher

Crushing_Chamber

When the non-choking feature was being applied to existing crushers of the gyratory type, it was found that in several crushing machines, the attendant reduction in receiving opening could be partially offset by sloping the straight portion of the concaves at a wider angle than that for which the top shell was originally designed, because […]

Difference Between Single & Double Toggle Jaw Crusher

Single VS Double Toggle Crushers

A double toggle jaw crusher is much larger, heavier, more moving parts and lower throughput than modern single toggle jaw crushers. The lower throughput statement is a bit misleading because it’s partially attributed to the type of bearings they have versus modern crushers, so if one was to upgrade the bearings, throughput could be closer […]

Crusher Efficiency Calculations

An aggregate process flow diagram

The following example demonstrates a method of selecting the components of an aggregate plant. Good component efficiency and part performance pre-evaluation is essential to a solid design. The aggregate production requires the consideration of several crushers, feeders and screens. This is not intended to be a typical situation, though it does involve common crusher and […]

Choke Feed a Cone Crusher | Level Sensor

Here is cone crusher arranged with a Level Sensor interlocked with the feed conveyor.  It keeps the crusher feed cavity full for best choke feeding. This is a great way how you can choke feed a cone and crush for a finer product. You do know that choke feeding reduces liner wear? See why in […]

Selecting Jaw Crusher Liners | Shape & Design

Jaw Crusher Liners

A client needed finer crush out of his Jaw Crushers.  I proposed this literature from Metso.com to help him select a jaw liner set.  Designing your jaw crusher liners for the right function starts with asking ‘what final product crush size distribution do I want’ & ‘what are the physical characteristics of the feed to […]

Choke Feeding a Jaw Crusher

benefits_of_choke_feeding_crusher

Here is what a well choke fed jaw crusher looks like! Too many mines run these jaw crusher cavity like a funnel without any choking.  Operators must keep the jaw’s cavity full to maximize rock-on-rock compression and crushing.  Notice the shape of the liner profiles? A crusher is choke fed when the chamber is full […]

Correct Rock Size for Jaw Crusher Feed

is the Feed Size Distribution Spec by which such crushers are designed

In case you wonder “can a jaw crusher just crush… anything”?  If I can place it in the crusher cavity (even if it look like a Volkswagen) and actually or eventually crush it, does it qualify as ‘ideal crusher feed’? If you wonder “can a jaw crusher just crush… anything”?  If I can place it […]
