Jaw Crushers

In a jaw crusher feed is admitted between two jaws, set to from a V open at the top. One jaw, the fixed, or anvil, jaw, is nearly vertical and does not move; the other, the swinging jaw, reciprocates in a horizontal plane. It makes an angle of 20 to 30 degrees with the anvil jaw. It is driven by an eccentric so that it applies great compressive force to lumps caught between the jaws. The jaw faces are flat or slightly bulged; they may carry shallow horizontal grooves. Large lumps caught between the upper parts of the jaws are broken, drop into the narrower space below, and are recrushed the next time the jaws close. After sufficient reduction they drop out the bottom of the machine. the jaws open and close 250 to 400 times per minute.
the most common type of jaw crusher is the Blake crusher. In this machine an eccentric drives a pitman connected to two toggle plates, one of which is pinned to the frame and the other to the swinging jaw. The pivot point is at the top of the movable jaw or above the top of the jaws on the centerline of the jaw opening. The greatest amount of motion is at the bottom of the V, which means that there is little tendency for a crusher of this kind to choke.
