A jaw crusher should not be sized to the maximum size rock that might be fed to the plant, but a size that will handle 95-98% of the material that might be fed to the jaw. Buying to the maximum size of rock that might be fed the jaw will result in buying a jaw crusher that will be under-utilized, difficult to keep choke-fed, cost more than necessary, and have a much higher operating cost. It will cost less to install grizzly bars over the feed hopper to remove the oversize rocks than to buy an over-sized jaw crusher. They can then be manually broken, sold as rip-rap or erosion control or landscaping boulders. Jaw crushers are typically used as primary crushers, or the first step in the process of reducing rock. They crush primarily by using compression. The rock is dropped between two rigid pieces of metal, one of which then moves inwards towards the rock, and the rock is crushed because it has a lower breaking point than the opposing metal piece. | welcome to loan (http://www.yloan.com/) | Powered by Discuz! 5.5.0 |
