does jaw crusher operates

A jaw crusher operates by compressing material between two surfaces:

How a Jaw Crusher Works:

1. Feeding Material:
– Rocks or ore are fed into the top of the crusher through a vibrating feeder or conveyor.

2. Crushing Process:
– The movable jaw (swing jaw) moves back and forth against the fixed jaw (stationary jaw).
– As the jaws come together, the material is crushed by compressive force.

3. Discharge of Crushed Material:
– Smaller crushed particles fall through the gap (discharge opening) at the bottom.
– Larger pieces remain until they are broken down sufficiently to pass through.

Key Components:

• Fixed Jaw Plate – Stationary crushing surface.
• Movable Jaw Plate – Moves in an elliptical motion to apply pressure.
• Toggle Plate – Safety mechanism that breaks if uncrushable material enters (prevents damage).
• Eccentric Shaft – Drives the movement of the swing jaw.

Types of Jaw Crushers:

• Blake (Double Toggle) – More complex but better for hard materials.
• Dodge (Single Toggle) – Simpler design, more efficient for softer materials.

Applications:

• Primary crushing in mining, quarrying, and recycling industries.
• Breaking down granite, basalt, concrete, and other hard materials.
