When designing jaw profiles for quarry crushers, several factors must be considered to ensure optimal performance, wear resistance, and crushing efficiency. Here are key aspects to focus on:
1. Jaw Plate Design Considerations
– Material: Typically made from high manganese steel (e.g., Mn14, Mn18, Mn22) for durability and impact resistance.
– Tooth Profile:
– Straight/Flat Jaw Plates – Suitable for softer materials.
– Waved/Corrugated Jaw Plates – Better grip and crushing efficiency for hard, abrasive materials.
– Chevron/Toothed Jaws – Enhanced fragmentation of tough rock.
2. Key Parameters Influencing Jaw Profile
– Feed Size & Type – Larger feed requires deeper crushing chambers with aggressive profiles.
– Crushing Ratio – Determines the nip angle (typically 18°–22°) and tooth spacing.
– Abrasion Resistance – Hard-facing or alloy enhancements may be needed for high-wear applications.

3. Common Jaw Crusher Types & Profiles
– Single Toggle Jaw Crusher:
– Movable jaw has an elliptical motion, requiring a curved profile for better crushing action.
– Double Toggle Jaw Crusher:
– Uses a more linear motion; jaw profiles can be straighter with deep crushing chambers.

4. Optimization Tips
– Chamber Geometry: A well-designed chamber ensures proper material flow and reduces wear.
– Replaceable Segments: Modular jaw plates allow easy replacement of worn sections.
– Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Finite Element Analysis (FEA) helps optimize stress distribution.
5. Wear Management
– Regular inspection and flipping/replacement of jaw plates to extend lifespan.
– Using asymmetric profiles to distribute wear evenly.
