Jaw crusher: how to choose the ideal model

The jaw crusher is one of the most important items in a mining plant. The equipment operates in the initial phase of mineral processing, under adverse conditions.

Thus, a large part of the mining company's business success involves the results generated by jaw crushers. Quality in the final product, productivity and low operating costs must be constantly monitored.

In this article, we will help your company define the ideal equipment for primary crushing. We will also point out the differences between Máquinas Furlan and the JC line of crushers.

Robustness is one of them. High crushing performance is combined with a reliable structure, with reduced maintenance time.

Check it out.

What is jaw crusher?

According to the technicians at Máquinas Furlan, the JC jaw crusher is the ideal equipment for the initial stages of processing a rock. This is because it can withstand the most severe working conditions, preparing materials for crushing in other stages.

Choosing the ideal model should be the main objective. The market offers several models, which makes the decision more complex.

But we are here to help you with this important decision.

It is worth remembering that the initials JC come from the English expression “Jaw Crusher”, which means “jaw crusher”. In this operation, the material that goes through this primary crushing of rocks, minerals and aggregates can generate final products for mining, industry, agribusiness and aggregates for civil construction. The list includes items such as limestone, granite, basalt, iron ore and gneiss, among others.

An efficient choice involves finding a machine that offers quality and productivity. The volume processed must be considerable, and the rocks must have the specified grain size so that they can continue to be processed.

Operating costs are another decisive factor. Furlan's JC crushers make better use of the jaws, which are interchangeable. This allows for different mounting positions for these jaws. There are savings in the acquisition of parts and adjustment is simple.

Downtime for scheduled maintenance is reduced due to adjustments such as easy access to the fixing screws. This speeds up scheduled jaw replacement.

Productivity is also guaranteed by the adoption of a high chamber with symmetrical crushing angles in the design. Production capacity is guaranteed.

What is robustness in jaw crushers?

One of the main attributes when choosing a jaw crusher should be robustness, which means the machine can withstand the toughest working conditions.

Flywheels with a higher mass also help to improve the stability of the machine during operation, which generates another important saving: reduced energy consumption. The equipment has a high chamber with symmetrical crushing angles, which guarantees Furlan's JC line greater production capacity.

The damping system is composed of polyurethane blankets and horizontally stabilized by cushions. There is less vibration transfer to the base.

Technology assists in the design. Furlan Engineering uses finite element software, a measure that allows the simulation of crushing efforts. This simulation extends the useful life of the machine, a benefit also obtained by the application of top-of-the-line bearings in the design.

Reliability is a factor that must be present when choosing an equipment supplier. Furlan is a company with 61 years in the market. Its operations are guided by customized projects that generate customer success in mining.

At the same time, it invests heavily in improving products and processes. An example of this is the series of projects developed in conjunction with the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), seeking to improve what is offered to the market.

The industrial park in Limeira (SP) has a large structure, which allows Furlan to manufacture crushers with different sizes and capacities. Thus, there are customized solutions for small, medium and large facilities.

Crushers, motorization and options

The JC line covers all plant sizes, as the model will take into account the mouth size and processing capacity. The differences include optional extras, ranging from feed and discharge spouts to complementary metal structures.

Automatic lubrication is another option that is widely accepted by customers.
