There are several types of jaw crushers used in various industries, each designed to handle specific types of materials and crushing tasks. Here are some of the main types:
-
Single Toggle Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: Uses one toggle plate, making the jaw move up and down.
- Applications: Common in primary crushing due to its simple structure and ease of operation.
-
Double Toggle Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: Incorporates two toggle plates for more complex movements and increased durability.
- Applications: Used for crushing hard and abrasive materials, offering better crushing efficiency.
-
Compact Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: Usually a single toggle jaw crusher but smaller and more portable.
- Applications: Ideal for small-scale crushing projects and locations with limited space.
-
Overhead Eccentric Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: The moving jaw is suspended on the eccentric shaft.
- Applications: Suitable for lighter, easier-to-crush materials.
-
Universal Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: Features a pivot point at the top of the jaw plate, with varying swing levels depending on the material.
- Applications: Known for their flexibility and can be used for both large and small scale operations.
-
Blake Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: Has a fixed jaw at the upper position and a swinging jaw at the lower position.
- Applications: Commonly used in mining and aggregate production for large-capacity operations.
-
Dodge Jaw Crusher:
- Mechanism: The pivot point is at the bottom of the jaw, leading to material being crushed only at the bottom, less commonly used than other types.
- Applications: Limited to specific niche applications due to its smaller feed area and less throughput.
These various types enable the accommodation of different kinds of crushing requirements, adapting to a range of material types and industry needs.
