ECS-FL Large Jaw Crusher (300 kg/h), EFLJC

A Jaw Crusher is the primary "coarse" crushing tool in the laboratory and industrial scale. It is designed to handle the first step of material reduction, taking large, hard, or abrasive bulk materials and breaking them down into smaller fragments (typically sub-millimeter to a few millimeters) that can then be processed by the fine-grinding mills we've discussed (like vibratory or planetary mills).

The jaw crusher utilizes compressive force to break material. It consists of two "jaws": one fixed and one moving (the swing jaw). (1) V-Chamber: The two jaws form a V-shaped opening called the crushing chamber. (2) Motion: An eccentric shaft causes the moving jaw to oscillate back and forth. When the jaw moves toward the fixed plate, the material is squeezed and crushed. When it moves away, the crushed material falls further down the chamber. (3) Discharge: The material exits the bottom once it is smaller than the Gap Setting (CSS - Closed Side Setting).
