South Africa’s booming construction industry demands high-quality crushed stone and sand aggregates. A jaw crusher serves as the primary crushing unit in most sand and gravel production lines, offering reliable performance in processing hard rocks like granite and basalt.
A complete production line typically includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher (PE/PEX Series)
2. Secondary Cone Crusher or Impact Crusher
3. Vibrating Screen
4. Sand Maker (VSI)
5. Belt Conveyors
| Model | Feed Opening(mm) | Max Feed Size(mm) | Capacity(t/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PE-400×600 | 400×600 | 340 | 16-64 |
| PE-500×750 | 500×750 | 425 | 40-110 |
| PE-600×900 | 600×900 | 500 | 50-160 |
Q: What’s the service life of jaw plates?
A: Typically 3-6 months depending on material hardness and production volume.
Q: Can jaw crushers process wet materials?
A: Not recommended as it may cause clogging and reduce efficiency.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Regular lubrication, tension checks, and wear part inspections.
