The Impact of Jaw Plate Design on Crushing Performance in Jaw Crusher Breakers

The crushing performance of a jaw crusher breaker relies on the continuous compression and disintegration of the rocks by the dynamic and static jaw plates. Without a doubt, the design of jaw plate is crucial to the crusher's performance and success. Here we will introduce how to optimize the jaw crusher breaker performance by designing the jaw plate.

The first step in designing the jaw plate is analyzing the crusher's working conditions, materials' characteristics, and mechanical properties by conducting a thorough examination of the rocks to be crushed. This analysis helps to select the suitable material for the jaw plate. In general, jaw plates made of high manganese steel are popular due to their superior wear resistance and toughness. Coupled with appropriate heat treatment, these jaw plates can effectively extend the service life of jaw crushers.

Next, the jaw plate design should be optimized by considering the following factors:

1. Tooth Profile: The shape of the tooth profile directly affects the crushing capacity and product quality. A flat or sharp tooth profile tends to produce more fine particles, while a rounder tooth profile results in a more uniform product shape. The choice of tooth profile should be based on the type of rocks being crushed and the desired final product shape.

2. Tooth Angle: The tooth angle, also known as crushing angle, refers to the angle between the fixed jaw plate and the movable jaw plate. A smaller tooth angle can generate more crushing force and improve the crushing efficiency. However, a larger tooth angle is beneficial for discharging the crushed material, reducing the jamming risk.

3. Tooth Pitch and Tooth Height: The tooth pitch refers to the distance between two adjacent teeth on the jaw plate, while the tooth height is the vertical distance between the tooth top and the bottom of the plate. A smaller tooth pitch and taller teeth can increase the feeding capacity and prevent blocking in the crushing chamber, ensuring the smooth operation of the crusher.

4. Jaw Plate Eccentricity: The eccentricity of the jaw plate determines the nip angle, which affects the compression ratio and the particle size distribution of the crushed material. A smaller eccentricity leads to a larger nip angle, resulting in a coarser product. On the other hand, a larger eccentricity narrows the nip angle and produces a finer product.

Overall, a well-designed jaw plate can significantly improve the crushing performance of a jaw crusher breaker. By considering factors such as tooth profile, tooth angle, tooth pitch, tooth height, and jaw plate eccentricity, the optimization of the jaw plate design can enhance the crushing efficiency, increase the production capacity, and improve the quality of the end product. It is important to work closely with experienced engineers and manufacturers to select and design jaw plates that best suit the specific crushing application.
