Jaw crushers come in several types, each designed for different kinds of crushing and material throughput. Here are some of the most common types:
Single Toggle Jaw Crusher: Features a single toggle plate that creates a crushing action. It's more compact and designed for lighter crushing needs while being energy-efficient.
Double Toggle Jaw Crusher: Contains two toggle plates and offers a more complex crushing motion. It's better suited for handling abrasive materials and is more durable for heavy-duty operations.
Universal Jaw Crusher: A type of crusher that can handle both hard and soft materials by adjusting the settings, making it versatile for various applications.
Overhead Eccentric Jaw Crusher: The shaft and toggle system create a motion that produces a more aggressive bite at the material being crushed, often used for tougher applications.
Blake Jaw Crusher: This is an early version and the most widely used form. It has a fixed jaw and a moving jaw, pivoted at the top with a V-shaped alignment for crushing.
Dodge Jaw Crusher: Similar to the Blake type, but with the pivot point located at the bottom. This design creates a more uniform product size but is not as commonly used due to its potential for clogging.
Each type comes with specific benefits and is chosen based on the hardness, size, and abrasiveness of the material, as well as the desired output and crushing ratio.
