Jaw crushers are widely used equipment in stone and mineral crushing processes. The essential components of these machines are designed to ensure the efficiency and durability of the crushing operation. Here are the parts of a jaw crusher:

  • Jaws: The main components that crush stones by compressing them during the crushing process. Typically divided into upper and lower jaws, made from various materials.

  • Body (Frame): The main structure that houses the jaws. It is built with a sturdy metal structure to provide durability and stability.

  • Motor: The power source that drives the crusher. Usually operates with electric or diesel motors.

  • Drive System: The mechanism that transmits the motor's power to the jaws. It includes V-belts, gears, and shafts.

  • Springs: Parts that allow the jaws to open and close and adjust the compression between the jaws. They maintain jaw alignment for better crushing performance.

  • Feeding Hopper: The structure used to feed material into the crusher. It ensures the material is properly positioned.

  • Lower Belt (Jaw Crusher Discharge Belt): The belt that transports the material exiting the crusher. It facilitates the removal of material from the system.

  • Support Legs: Structures that keep the crusher stable and in a fixed position.

Each of these parts is crucial for the efficient operation of the jaw crusher. Regular maintenance and inspection enhance the crusher's performance and prolong its lifespan.
