Keywords: Jaw crusher, primary crusher, mining machinery, Shandong China, crusher structure, crushing applications, Shandong Hengtai Intelligent Manufacturing
1. Product Overview
The jaw crusher is a widely used equipment for the primary crushing of various ores and large-sized materials. It plays a crucial role in industries such as mining, metallurgy, construction materials, highways, railways, water conservancy, and chemical engineering. With its large crushing ratio, simple structure, stable operation, and easy maintenance, it is a preferred choice in stone production lines and mineral processing plants.
This product is developed and manufactured by Shandong Hengtai Intelligent Manufacturing, based in Shandong, China. With advanced technology and mature craftsmanship, our jaw crushers are well-received in global markets including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America.

2. Jaw Crusher Structure
The jaw crusher is designed with a robust and efficient structure, consisting of the following main components:
1. Frame
Fabricated from high-strength welded steel or cast steel, ensuring strong rigidity and excellent shock resistance. It provides solid support for the entire crushing system.
2. Moving Jaw & Fixed Jaw
The moving jaw reciprocates via the eccentric shaft, crushing material against the fixed jaw. Both jaw plates are made from high manganese steel or alloy steel, offering outstanding wear resistance.
3. Eccentric Shaft
This is the core driving component. It connects to the motor through a pulley system and drives the moving jaw. It operates smoothly with high-quality bearings, reducing mechanical failure.
4. Adjustment Device
Used to control the discharge opening size and final particle size. Common adjustment mechanisms include shim and wedge systems, allowing quick and easy configuration.
5. Flywheel & Pulley
The flywheel balances the inertial forces during jaw movement, improving operational stability. The pulley transfers power from the motor, helping reduce energy consumption.

3. Applications and Use Cases
Jaw crushers are ideal for primary crushing and are widely used in the following scenarios:
- Mining Industry: Coarse crushing of iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, quartzite, etc.
- Aggregate Production: Crushing granite, basalt, limestone, river pebbles, and other raw materials into construction aggregates.
- Construction and Demolition Recycling: Processing of concrete, bricks, and other construction waste.
- Infrastructure Projects: Production of high-quality aggregates for roads, railways, and water conservancy.
- Metallurgical and Chemical Processing: Pre-treatment of raw minerals or block materials.
