1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Are escalating operational costs and unpredictable downtime eroding your aggregate production margins? For plant managers and procurement specialists, the core challenges in primary crushing often center on three critical areas:

Unscheduled Downtime: Bearing failures or wear part changes can halt your entire processing line. Every hour of stoppage for a primary crusher can cost tens of thousands in lost production and labor.
High Total Cost of Ownership: Beyond the initial purchase, costs for energy consumption, replacement parts (like mantles, concaves, and jaw dies), and unplanned maintenance directly impact your bottom line.
Inconsistent Output & Product Shape: Fluctuations in feed material hardness or size can lead to poor reduction ratios and nonspec product, causing bottlenecks in secondary stages and reducing saleable tonnage.

The central question is: how do you select a primary stone crusher machine that delivers not just high capacity, but predictable performance and controlled operational expenditure?

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW: Primary Jaw Crusher

This product category focuses on heavyduty primary jaw crushers engineered for the initial reduction of large quarried stone (<1500mm) to a manageable size for downstream processing. The operational workflow is defined by a robust compressive crushing action:

1. Feed Intake: Large raw feed material is loaded into the vibrating grizzly feeder (VGF) section, which bypasses fines to optimize crusher chamber loading.
2. Compressive Crushing: Material enters the fixed and moving jaw plates. The elliptical motion applies immense compressive force, breaking stone against stone for efficiency.
3. Discharge Setting Adjustment: The crushed product size is precisely controlled via a hydraulic or mechanical toggle adjustment system, allowing quick changes without downtime.
4. Discharge & Conveying: Crushed material exits at the bottom discharge point onto the main product conveyor for transport to the next stage.

Application Scope & Limitations: This equipment is designed as a stationary or mobile primary unit for hard rock (granite, basalt) and abrasive applications in largescale mining and quarrying. It is not suitable for sticky, clayrich materials without prescreening and is typically outperformed by gyratory crushers at capacities exceeding 1,500 tph in fixedplant scenarios.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS

Granite Quarry Operation – Southeast Asia

Challenge: A highproduction quarry faced excessive wear on jaw plates every 90 days (~130k tons), requiring a full shift shutdown for replacement. Unpredictable bearing temperatures also caused production anxiety.
Solution: Implementation of our heavyduty primary jaw crusher with bolted wedge wear parts and conditionmonitored spherical roller bearings.
Results: Wear part life extended to an average of 190k tons (+46%), reducing changeout frequency. Bearing temperature monitoring allowed predictive maintenance scheduling. Overall plant availability increased by an estimated .5%.
