The Austin Western 10×24 jaw crusher is a compact yet powerful primary crushing unit designed for small to medium-sized aggregate operations. With a 10″ x 24″ jaw opening, it efficiently processes hard rock, recycled concrete, and other abrasive materials, making it ideal for sand and gravel plants, quarries, and recycling facilities.
– Feed Opening: 10″ x 24″ (254mm x 610mm)
– Max Feed Size: 8″ (203mm)
– Capacity: 20-40 TPH (varies by material and settings)
– Power Requirement: 30-50 HP electric motor or diesel engine
– Weight: ~7,000 lbs (3,175 kg)
– Adjustable Discharge: Hydraulic or manual adjustment for precise output control
The 10×24 jaw crusher serves as a primary crusher in compact crushing circuits. Paired with a vibrating grizzly feeder and a secondary cone crusher or impactor, it forms the backbone of efficient sand and aggregate production. Its rugged construction ensures low maintenance and high uptime in demanding environments.
Q: What is the optimal feed size?
A: Keep feed material ≤8″ to avoid jamming and ensure even wear.
Q: Can it handle recycled concrete?
A: Yes, but use pre-screening to remove rebar and contaminants.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Regular lubrication of bearings and periodic jaw plate inspection are critical.
A Texas-based contractor used the Austin Western 10×24 jaw crusher in a portable crushing setup to process limestone for road base. The plant achieved consistent output of 35 TPH with minimal downtime, reducing hauling costs by processing on-site.
For operators seeking reliability in small-footprint operations, the Austin Western 10×24 remains a proven choice for primary crushing needs.
