A jaw crusher is the primary crushing machine in mining, quarry, stone crushing and construction waste recycling industries. Understanding its working principle and maintenance rules can help operators reduce failure rate and improve production efficiency.
Jaw Crusher Working Principle
The jaw crusher uses compressive force to crush stones. The motor drives the eccentric shaft, making the movable jaw plate move reciprocally toward the fixed jaw plate. Raw stones are squeezed, fractured and crushed in the crushing cavity.
Large stones are broken repeatedly. When particle size is smaller than the discharge gap, finished aggregates fall down and are discharged automatically.
