Choose PE jaw crusher or JC jaw crusher?

If the project budget is limited, the equipment cost-effectiveness is pursued, and the production efficiency requirements are not high, it is more appropriate to choose a PE jaw crusher; if you need to process high-hardness materials, pursue high efficiency and energy saving, and have sufficient budget, JC jaw crusher is a better choice. The specific analysis is as follows:

Advantages and applicable scenarios of PE jaw crusher
Price advantage: PE jaw crusher has a simple structure and a relatively low price, which is suitable for projects with limited budgets. Its modular design makes maintenance convenient, saves maintenance costs, and has a high safety factor.
Widely used: The feed particle size of PE jaw crusher can reach 1200mm, and the discharge particle size is adjustable (10-350mm), which can meet various needs such as coarse crushing and medium crushing. Whether it is hard rock, sand and gravel or metal ore, PE jaw crusher can easily cope with it and is widely used in mines, sand and gravel plants, concrete mixing plants and other industries.
Mature technology: As a classic crushing equipment, PE jaw crusher has mature technology and high market recognition. Its unique crushing chamber design makes the material bite more tightly, significantly improves the crushing efficiency, and reduces energy consumption by 15%~20%.

Advantages and applicable scenarios of JC jaw crusher
High efficiency and energy saving: JC jaw crusher adopts innovative modular weldless frame, high-quality alloy steel castings and rolling bearings, which greatly improves the fatigue resistance and operation reliability of the equipment. It has a larger crushing ratio, higher output and lower comprehensive cost. For example, compared with PE jaw crusher, JC jaw crusher can increase production by 25%~50% and save more than 30% electricity under the same power and other working conditions.
High structural strength: JC jaw crusher adopts high-strength materials and manufacturing processes, with higher structural strength and higher equipment reliability. Its heavy-duty movable jaw assembly is durable, and the labyrinth seal and centralized lubrication system ensure that the bearing grease is not contaminated and lubrication is more convenient, making it run longer and more stable.
Strong adaptability: JC jaw crusher is suitable for crushing various ores and rocks with a compressive strength not exceeding 320Mpa, such as river pebbles, granite, basalt, iron ore, limestone, etc. Its “V”-shaped crushing chamber and toothed guard plate design are more reasonable, ensuring the consistency between the actual feeding size and the theoretical feeding size, effectively increasing the crushing area, avoiding material blockage in the crushing chamber, and greatly improving the crushing rate and output.
Convenient adjustment: JC jaw crusher adopts mechanical or hydraulic discharge port adjustment device, and its double wedge adjustment method is simpler, safer and faster than the gasket adjustment operation, saving downtime.

Comparison and selection suggestions
Budget considerations: If the project budget is limited and the equipment price is more sensitive, PE jaw crusher is a good choice. Its price is relatively low, and it is easy to maintain and has economical operating costs.
Production efficiency requirements: If the project has high requirements for production efficiency and hopes to reduce the overall cost, JC jaw crusher is more suitable. Its high efficiency and energy saving, high structural strength, and strong adaptability can meet the needs of high-load operating environments.
Material characteristics: Choose the appropriate crusher according to the hardness, particle size and other characteristics of the material. For high-hardness materials, JC jaw crusher has a better crushing effect; for materials of normal hardness, PE jaw crusher can also meet the needs.
