Jaw Crusher in Mining Industry

01 01

Ore
Processing

Jaw crushers are commonly used to crush hard and abrasive ores, making them manageable for subsequent processing stages such as:

Comminution: Reducing large rocks or ores into smaller fragments.

Ore Beneficiation: Preparing materials for separation processes like flotation, magnetic separation, or leaching.

02 02

Primary
Crushing

Function: Acts as the first stage in the crushing process.

Application: Reduces large blocks of mined material into smaller sizes (typically 150–300mm).

Materials Crushed: Hard ores like iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, and coal.

Aggregates
for Construction

Mining operations often use jaw crushers to produce crushed rock for:

Road base materials.

Concrete production.

Asphalt mixing.

04 04

Underground
and Surface Mining

Underground Mining:

Compact and rugged jaw crushers are used in confined spaces.

Used for primary crushing before hoisting material to the surface.

Surface Mining:

Larger jaw crushers handle high-capacity crushing tasks.

Mining
Exploration

Jaw crushers are used in exploration to prepare samples for laboratory testing.

Enables detailed analysis of ore composition and grade.

06 06

Recycling
and Waste Management

Jaw crushers are applied to recycle mining waste materials, such as slag, reducing the environmental footprint.

Application
Principle

Working Mechanism

Jaw crushers operate on the principle of compression crushing.

The material is placed between a stationary jaw (fixed jaw) and a moving jaw (swing jaw).

As the moving jaw moves back and forth relative to the fixed jaw, it compresses and breaks the material.

Stages of Crushing

Primary Crushing: Jaw crushers are typically used as the first step in the crushing process.

They reduce the raw material from large boulders into smaller pieces (150–300 mm), suitable for further processing.

Material Flow

Materials are fed into the top opening of the crusher.

Gravity and the motion of the swing jaw force the material downward.

Crushed material exits through the bottom opening, which can be adjusted to control the output size.

Efficiency Enhancements

A uniform feed ensures consistent performance and reduces wear.

Advanced jaw crushers incorporate toggle plates and flywheels for smooth operation and energy savings.

problems and Solutions

Jaw crusher in the mineral mining industry with frequently occurring problems and solutions

Problem: Excessive Vibrations

Cause:

Misalignment of the jaw plates.

Uneven feed material or oversized rocks.

Worn-out flywheel or motor coupling.

Solution:

Regularly check and adjust the alignment of jaw plates.

Ensure uniform feed size and remove oversized materials before feeding.

Inspect and replace worn components like flywheels and motor couplings.

Problem: Reduced Crushing Capacity

Cause:

Clogged discharge area.

Worn-out jaw plates.

Incorrect feed size or material hardness.

Solution:

Clear the discharge area to prevent blockages.

Replace worn jaw plates with new ones.

Use appropriate feed material and maintain a consistent feed size.

Problem: High Energy Consumption

Cause:

Improper lubrication leading to friction.

Misaligned moving components.

Overloading the crusher.

Solution:

Regularly lubricate bearings and other moving parts.

Align and maintain all components as per manufacturer guidelines.

Avoid overloading by monitoring feed material quantity.

Problem: Abnormal Noise

Cause:

Loose components like bolts or flywheels.

Bearing damage or wear.

Collision of uncrushable materials (e.g., metal) with the crusher.

Solution:

Tighten loose components regularly.

Inspect and replace damaged bearings.

Install a metal detector or magnetic separator to prevent uncrushable materials from entering the crusher.

Problem: Uneven Product Size

Cause:

Worn or improperly fixed jaw plates.

Fluctuating feed material flow.

Solution:

Replace or refasten jaw plates securely.

Use a consistent and controlled feeding mechanism.

Problem: Premature Wear of Components

Cause:

Abrasive or hard feed material.

Poor material distribution across the jaw plates.

Solution:

Use high-quality, wear-resistant jaw plates and liners.

Distribute the material evenly across the jaw plates by adjusting the feeding system.

Problem: Crusher Jamming

Cause:

Feeding of sticky or wet materials.

Oversized material entering the crusher.

Solution:

Pre-screen sticky or wet materials to remove fines and moisture.

Use a grizzly feeder to screen out oversized rocks.

Problem: Difficulty Starting

Cause:

Motor or electrical failure.

Flywheel imbalance.

Solution:

Inspect and repair electrical connections or replace the motor.

Check and balance the flywheel as needed.
