Targeting Primary Crushing Bottlenecks: The HighCost of Inefficient Feed Processing

Are your primary crushing operations limiting your entire downstream process? Inefficient feed reduction directly impacts your plant's throughput, maintenance budget, and bottom line. Key challenges include:
Excessive Downtime: Unplanned stops for clearing bridging events or replacing worn components can cost thousands per hour in lost production.
High Wear Costs: Abrasive feed material rapidly degrades crusher jaws, leading to frequent, costly changeouts and parts inventory burdens.
Inconsistent Output: Poorly sized feed and erratic capacity create bottlenecks for secondary crushers and screening circuits, reducing overall plant efficiency.
Energy Inefficiency: Older or poorly designed jaw crushers consume disproportionate power relative to tonnage processed, inflating operational expenses.
Rigidity to Feed Variation: Can your primary crusher handle fluctuations in feed size and hardness without manual adjustment or performance loss?

Addressing these issues requires a robust, intelligent foundation. The solution begins at the very first stage of comminution.

Product Overview: JC5000 Jaw Crusher – HighTonnage Primary Reduction

The JC5000 Jaw Crusher is a heavyduty, singletoggle jaw crusher engineered for highcapacity primary crushing in mining, quarrying, and largescale construction recycling applications. Its design focuses on maximizing uptime and reducing costperton in the most demanding environments.

Operational Workflow:
1. Feed Intake: Large runofmine or quarryrun material (up to 1200mm) is delivered to the deep, nonchoking feed hopper.
2. Aggressive Crushing Stroke: A highforce elliptical jaw motion applies compressive force efficiently, breaking even the hardest granite or abrasive iron ore.
3. Controlled Discharge: The hydraulically adjustable closedside setting (CSS) allows precise control of product size without stopping the crusher.
4. Material Evacuation: The crushed material exits with minimal restriction, preparing it for conveyor transport to the next processing stage.

Application Scope & Limitations:
Scope: Ideal for stationary primary crushing plants processing hard rock (granite, basalt), ore (iron, copper, gold), and demolition concrete. Designed for feed capacities from 750 to 1500 mtph depending on material characteristics.
Limitations: Not designed for ultrafine product sizing (sub20mm) as a standalone unit; secondary crushing is recommended. Requires a stable concrete foundation and appropriate feeding equipment.

Application Scenarios

Hard Rock Quarrying – Granite Aggregate Production

Challenge: A granite quarry faced frequent downtime due to jaw plate changes every six weeks and slow manual CSS adjustments to meet varying product specs.
Solution: Implementation of two JC5000 Jaw Crushers as primary units.
Results: Jaw plate life extended to nine weeks per set. Hydraulic CSS adjustment allowed product size changes during lunch breaks. Overall plant throughput increased by an average of 12%.

Iron Ore Processing – Primary Size Reduction

Challenge: An iron ore operation struggled with high energy costs per ton crushed and excessive vibration transmitted to the foundation from their previous primary crusher.
Solution: Replacement with a single JC5000 equipped with specialduty jaws for abrasion resistance.
Results: Energy monitoring showed a reduction of ~6% in kWh per ton processed. The optimized massandbalance design significantly reduced harmful vibration.

Major Infrastructure Recycling – Concrete & Demolition Waste
