1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Managing a limestone quarry is defined by the relentless pursuit of operational efficiency. For plant managers and procurement specialists, the primary crushing stage often presents significant bottlenecks that directly impact your bottom line. Are you facing these common challenges?

High Downtime for Maintenance: Frequent liner changes and unplanned repairs on your primary crusher halt the entire feed system, costing thousands per hour in lost production.
Unscheduled Stoppages from Contamination: Noncrushable materials like tramp metal or uncrushable oversize can cause significant damage, leading to costly component failure and extended downtime.
Inconsistent Feed Size Reduction: An inefficient primary crush creates downstream inefficiencies, overworking secondary crushers and screening equipment, increasing wear and energy costs across the entire circuit.
Rising Operational Costs: Excessive power consumption per ton of crushed material, combined with high wear part replacement frequency, erodes profit margins on every load shipped.

The critical question is: how can you achieve a more reliable, efficient, and costcontrolled primary reduction process to stabilize your entire operation?

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The solution is a robust Primary Jaw Crusher engineered specifically for highvolume limestone mining applications. This heavyduty machine is designed as the first critical stage in your size reduction circuit, handling runofquarry limestone directly from the face.

Operational Workflow:
1. Quarry haul trucks dump large (up to 1.5m) runofmine limestone boulders into the crusher’s vibrating grizzly feeder (VGF).
2. The VGF removes fines and directs oversize material into the crushing chamber formed by a fixed jaw and a reciprocating moving jaw.
3. The compressive force of the moving jaw against the fixed jaw fractures the limestone along natural cleavage planes.
4. Crushed material exits through an adjustable discharge gap, determining the product size fed to your secondary plant.

Application Scope & Limitations:
Scope: Ideal for hightonnage primary crushing of abrasive but nonmetallic minerals like limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. Suited for both stationary plants and semimobile setups.
Limitations: Not designed for very hard, igneous rock (e.g., granite, basalt) without specific configuration. Requires prescreening/removal of excessive clay or sticky materials to prevent chamber packing.

3. CORE FEATURES

Deep Crushing Chamber | Technical Basis: Extended nip angle and long vertical jaw design | Operational Benefit: Increases capacity by providing a larger receiving area and greater reduction per cycle | ROI Impact: Higher throughput (TPH) reduces costperton and maximizes shift output

HeavyDuty Frame Construction | Technical Basis: Fabricated from highintegrity steel plate with reinforced stress points | Operational Benefit: Provides exceptional durability against shock loads from large feed boulders | ROI Impact: Minimizes risk of catastrophic frame failure, extending total crusher service life beyond 15+ years

Hydraulic Toggle Adjustment System | Technical Basis: Replaces traditional mechanical toggle plates with a hydraulic ram | Operational Benefit: Allows remote adjustment of crusher discharge setting and provides automatic clearing of chamber blockages | ROI Impact: Reduces downtime for size changes from hours to minutes and protects components from overload damage

Optimized Jaw Die Profile | Technical Basis: Computermodeled tooth geometry based on limestone fragmentation studies | Operational Benefit: Promotes interparticle crushing for better shaped aggregate and more efficient reduction | ROI Impact: Improves overall plant yield of inspec product while reducing jaw plate wear rates by up to 20%

Integrated Motor & Drive Guarding | Technical Basis: Enclosed vbelt drives with safetylatched guards | Operational Benefit: Protects personnel and drive components from dust ingress and physical contact | ROI Impact: Lowers operational risk, reduces belt slippage/failure, and ensures compliance with site safety standards
