The capacity of a Rock Jaw Crusher (a primary crushing machine) depends on several factors, including:
– Feed size (larger feed reduces capacity)
– Discharge setting (smaller settings reduce capacity)
– Material hardness (harder rocks decrease throughput)
– Crusher design & size (different models have varying capacities)
Typical Capacity Range for Jaw Crushers
| Jaw Crusher Size (Feed Opening) | Approx. Capacity Range (TPH – Tons Per Hour) |
|————————————|————————————————|
| Small: 8″ x 12″ (200×300 mm) | 1 – 5 TPH |
| Medium: 16″ x 24″ (400×600 mm) | 20 – 80 TPH |
| Large: 30″ x 42″ (750×1060 mm) | 100 – 300 TPH |
| Extra Large: 48″ x 60″ (1200×1500 mm)| 300 – 800+ TPH |
Key Considerations:
– Hard rock (e.g., granite, basalt): Lower end of the range.
– Soft rock (e.g., limestone, sandstone): Higher end of the range.
– Closed-side setting (CSS) adjustment affects output size and capacity.
For exact specifications, always refer to the manufacturer’s data sheet for a specific model. Would you like recommendations based on your application?
