What are the types of jaw crushers？

A jaw crusher, commonly known as a jaw crusher, consists of two jaw plates, a moving jaw and a fixed jaw, forming a crushing chamber. It simulates the movement of the two jaws of an animal to complete the material crushing operation. There are many types of them, and according to different classification standards, they can be divided into multiple types.

According to the classification of structural forms, jaw crushers can be divided into simple pendulum jaw crushers, compound pendulum jaw crushers, and double cavity jaw crushers. Among them, the simple swing jaw crusher is mainly composed of fixed jaw, moving jaw, elbow plate, flywheel, eccentric shaft and other components. The top of the moving jaw body is installed in the suspension shaft and swings back and forth around the suspension shaft. The compound pendulum jaw crusher combines the moving jaw body and connecting rod into a whole, with the eccentric shaft serving as the suspension shaft of the moving jaw body, and the elbow plate simplified from two to one. Double cavity jaw crushers are divided into simple pendulum double cavity jaw crushers and compound pendulum double cavity jaw crushers.

In addition, jaw crushers can also be classified according to other methods, such as the PE series and PEX series. The PE series jaw crusher has a large feed particle size and is suitable for coarse or primary crushing; The PEX series is used for fine crushing or secondary crushing. There are also some specific types of jaw crushers, such as PE jaw crushers, PEX fine jaw crushers, HD German version jaw crushers, CJ European version jaw crushers, etc. Each type has multiple models to choose from.

Overall, there are various types of jaw crushers, each with its own specific application scenarios and advantages. When selecting a jaw crusher, comprehensive consideration should be given to specific crushing needs, material characteristics, production scale, and other factors to select the most suitable model.
