The Austin Western 20×36 jaw crusher is a reliable primary crusher designed for high-capacity crushing in aggregate and mining applications. With a 20″ x 36″ feed opening, this unit efficiently processes hard rock, recycled concrete, and other abrasive materials, making it ideal for sand and gravel production lines.
– Feed Opening: 20″ x 36″ (508mm x 914mm)
– Max Feed Size: Up to 18″ (457mm)
– Capacity: 50–75 TPH (varies by material and settings)
– Motor Power: Typically 50–60 HP (37–45 kW)
– Weight: ~15,000 lbs (6,800 kg)
Built with heavy-duty toggle plates and a robust frame, the crusher ensures durability under demanding conditions. Its simple mechanical design minimizes maintenance downtime.
In a typical crushing circuit, the Austin Western 20×36 serves as the primary crusher, feeding crushed material to secondary cone crushers or impactors. Paired with vibrating screens and conveyors, it forms the backbone of a high-output aggregate production line capable of producing spec-compliant base materials or manufactured sand.
Q: What maintenance does this jaw crusher require?
A: Regular lubrication of bearings and periodic inspection of wear parts (e.g., jaw dies) are critical.
Q: Can it handle recycled concrete?
A: Yes, but pre-screening to remove rebar is recommended to avoid damage.
A Texas-based contractor deployed two Austin Western 20×36 units in a limestone quarry operation. Combined with a screening plant, the setup achieved a consistent output of 120 TPH of ASTM-certified aggregates for road construction.
