Decoding the Dimensions: A Deep Dive into the C95 Jaw Crusher's Physical Footprint

In the demanding world of aggregate production, mining, and recycling, jaw crushers stand as the undisputed workhorses for primary size reduction. Selecting the right crusher transcends mere capacity specifications; understanding its physical dimensions is paramount for successful integration into a processing plant. The C95 jaw crusher, a stalwart in the renowned C Series, exemplifies this principle. Its carefully engineered dimensions directly influence transport logistics, plant layout efficiency, installation complexity, operational safety, and long-term maintenance accessibility. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the C95's key dimensions and their critical implications for project planning and execution.

The Significance of Crusher Dimensions: Beyond the Blueprint

Before delving into specific numbers for the C95, it's crucial to understand why dimensions matter so profoundly:

1. Transportation & Logistics: Oversized components dictate shipping methods (flatbed truck vs. specialized transport), route planning (bridge heights, tunnel widths), and associated costs.
2. Plant Layout & Foundation Design: The crusher's footprint determines its placement within the crushing circuit. Foundation size, reinforcement requirements (especially considering dynamic loads), feed hopper positioning (height and reach), discharge conveyor alignment (height under discharge point), and necessary clearances for operation and maintenance are all dimensionally driven.
3. Installation Feasibility: Space constraints at existing sites or within pre-engineered structures can make or break a project. Knowing height during operation (including any raised positions like hydraulic legs) is vital.
4. Maintenance Access: Adequate space around key components like flywheels, drive guards, jaw dies replacement areas (front access points), cheek plates, tension rods/systems (rear access), lubrication points, and motor/V-belt drives is essential for safe and efficient servicing.

5. Safety Compliance: Regulations mandate minimum clearances around moving parts like flywheels and nip points to protect personnel.

Introducing the C95

Positioned within 's robust C Series range designed for heavy-duty primary crushing applications in quarries and mines worldwide, the C95 strikes an optimal balance between capacity potential (typically up to around ~400 metric tons per hour depending on feed material characteristics), feed size acceptance (~550mm / ~22" max lump size common), robustness for hard rock applications like granite or
