JAW CRUSHER
A jaw or toggle crusher consists of a set of
vertical jaws, one jaw being fixed and the
other being moved back and forth relative to
it by a cam or pitman mechanism. The jaws
are farther apart at the top than at the
bottom, forming a tapered chute so that the
material is crushed progressively smaller
and smaller as it travels downward until it is
small enough to escape from the bottom
opening.

TYPES OF JAW CRUSHERS


Blake jaw crusher

Dodge jaw crusher

In the Blake or jaw


crusher the
moveable jaw is
pivoted at top. The
greatest amount of
motion is at the
bottom which
means it has the
little tendency to
choke

In the dodge jaw


crusher the moving
jaw is pivoted at the
bottom. As minimum
movement is at the
bottom it has a
greater tendency to
choke.

PRINCIPLE OF JAW CRUSHER


This jaw crusher uses motor as its
power. Through the motor's wheels, the
eccentric shaft is driven by the triangle
belt and slot wheel to make the
movable jaw plate move by a regulated
track. Therefore, the materials in the
crushing cavity composed of fixed jaw
plate, movable jaw plate and side-lee
board can be crushed and discharged
through the discharging opening.

WORKING OF JAW
CRUSHER

INDUSTERIAL APPLICATIONS
Jaw Crusher can be used in mining,
metallurgical industry, construction, road
and railway building, chemistry etc.

FEATURES OF JAW
CRUSHER
Simple structure easy maintenance.
Stable performance.
Even final particles and high crushing
ratio.

Procedure
Prepare 5 kg of the size that can pass through
3in hole and retain on a 2 in hole.
Note down time (t1) required for 2 revolutions
under unloaded conditions. Also note down
energy meter factor.
While crushing note down the time(t2) required
for 2 revolutions under loaded conditions.
when crushing is completed, stop the stopwatch
and turn off the crusher. Note down total time
required for crushing .
Analyze the material using different us astm
mesh sieves and weigh out the mass retained
on each sieve and in the pan.

OBSERVATION AND
CALCULATION

TO Report the energy required to crushing a


given feed using jaw crusher.
Total weight of feed taken= 5kg
Number of revolutions for unloaded conditions=2
Time elapsed for n1 revolutions=t1=120s
Number of revolutions for loaded conditions =2
Time elapsed for loaded conditions=t2=110s
Energy meter factor=N=120
Total time for crushing=T=360s
ENERGY FOR CRUSHING :
E=(n2/t2-n1/t1)*T*1000/N*W=0.90 KWh/ton
TOTAL ENEGY FOR CRUSHING
E=n2/t2*T*1000/N*W= 10.9 KWh/ton

Mean Volume Diameter:

Limitations
Alternative method for calculating of
energy cannot be applied because of old
and defective meters.
Practical is time consuming because of
lack of electricity.

Future recommendations
I will try to do this practical using different
Materials such as limestone , chalk , clay
and others.
So my recommendation is that please
provide different types of materials instead
of red bricks.
