Know when to adopt the jaw crusher in the plant

Crushing in mining offers a large number of options for quarries. One of them is the use of jaw crushers in the processing of stones.

In this post, the Máquinas Furlan team provides the information customers need to make the best choice when using this type of equipment in their plants. It is usually used to perform the work from the second stage of crushing.

Check it out.

Understand how the jaw crusher works

Máquinas Furlan presents a catalog with more than 150 models of mining equipment. Given this wide range of products, some quarries initially seek information about the differences between jaw crushers and re-crushers.

Basically, the operating principle is the same. According to Furlan's Engineering team, the difference lies in the application. Re-crushers receive rocks that have already gone through a primary stage.

The construction of a jaw crusher and a jaw re-crusher is the same. A jaw, flywheel and shaker, among others, are present in both products. Both have fixed and moving parts.

However, normally, the jaw crusher has a more square mouth, while the re-crusher has a rectangular inlet.

Products aimed at agribusiness, such as limestone, and construction aggregates, such as sand and gravel, make up a large part of the projects with crushers in the processing line.

Quarries generally opt for this type of equipment, rather than a conical one, for example, because the choice falls on a machine with a simpler design. With a more compact design, the crusher requires less initial investment and has lower maintenance costs.

When making a decision, the final products desired by the companies must also be taken into account. Cones tend to produce more cubic stones, but jaw crushers usually accept larger stones at the beginning of the secondary stage.

A warning from the Furlan team is that the definition will necessarily involve the existing equipment before and after secondary crushing. Therefore, Furlan has mass balance software that allows simulating the best choices of equipment types and capacities throughout the production line.

Furlan improves construction techniques to increase productivity

The jaw crushers from Máquinas Furlan's RM line stand out in the market for combining practicality, economy and precision. They are used in deposits of different sizes, from the smallest to those with the largest processing volume.

The most advanced mining equipment manufacturing techniques are used, with the aim of generating greater productivity with absolute operational safety. Furlan develops the entire Foundry part internally, as it has a structure recognized in the market for excellence in metallurgy.

Most projects use this type of machine in the secondary stage, also in recycling services, laboratories, pilot plants and small-scale deposits.

The Furlan catalogue presents customers with crushers of different sizes and capacities. This means that mining and quarrying companies have a wider range of options to choose from.

Among the main advantages of the Furlan line is the very wide feed mouth, generating greater productivity in the plant. The housing is made of heat-treated steel sheet, which allows it to withstand the most rigorous working conditions.

Another market requirement is present in the Furlan line: easy maintenance. Therefore, following the manufacturer's recommendations, the equipment is stopped for the shortest possible time for parts to be replaced. Let's talk about maintenance in this post .
