The Austin Western jaw crusher is a rugged primary crushing unit designed for hard rock and aggregate processing. Known for its durability and simple maintenance, it features a heavy-duty cast steel frame, reversible manganese jaw dies, and a manual adjust system for quick sizing changes. Typical applications include quarrying, mining, and construction debris recycling.
| Model | Feed Opening (in) | Max Feed Size (in) | Capacity (TPH) | HP Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10×24 | 10×24 | 8 | 25-40 | 30-50 |
| 20×36 | 20×36 | 18 | 60-100 | 75-125 |
| 32×40 | 32×40 | 26 | 150-250 | 125-200 |
The Austin Western jaw crusher serves as the primary stage in multi-stage crushing setups. Paired with cone crushers or impactors downstream, it enables efficient production of graded aggregates (0-5mm sand, 5-20mm coarse aggregate). A typical layout includes: vibrating feeder → jaw crusher → secondary crusher → vibrating screen → conveyor system.
> Excessive wear on jaw plates?
Check feed size consistency and avoid overloading. Rotate/replace manganese dies periodically.
> Low output capacity?
Verify CSS (closed-side setting) alignment and ensure proper motor RPM.
> Unusual vibrations?
Inspect foundation bolts and toggle plate tension.
