Jaw crushers and impact crushers are widely used in the mining crushing production line, and many customers are not sure how to choose between them. Below are some answers to the questions of how to choose a jaw crusher and an impact crusher!

Different working modes:

Jaw crushers work by driving and squeezing. The material is crushed by the squeezing action between the moving jaw and the fixed jaw in the crushing cavity.

Impact crushers use the principle of impact crushing. The material is repeatedly impacted and crushed between the rotor and the impact plate.

Different application ranges:

Jaw crushers can process various materials with a compressive strength between 300-350MPA, including both soft and hard materials. The size of the crushed ore is approximately 1 meter.

Impact crushers are suitable for processing materials with medium hardness and small toughness. The allowable feed particle size range is not as large as that of jaw crushers. Jaw crushers are usually used as the primary crushing equipment in the production line, and the crushed materials then enter the impact crusher.

Different roles:

Jaw crushers are commonly used as primary crushing equipment for coarse crushing. Impact crushers are commonly used as secondary or tertiary crushing equipment for medium or fine crushing. They can be used in combination in a production line.

Different production capacities:

In general, jaw crushers can achieve a production capacity of 600-800 tons per hour, while impact crushers have a production capacity of about 260-450 tons per hour. Jaw crushers have a larger capacity than impact crushers. When choosing equipment, the model and manufacturer should be determined based on the actual situation.

Different discharge sizes:

Jaw crushers produce coarser crushed materials, with a discharge size generally below 300-350mm. Impact crushers produce finer crushed materials, with a relatively smaller discharge size. The choice between jaw crushers and impact crushers should be based on factors such as production capacity, processed materials, and desired discharge size. Only by properly configuring the types and models of equipment can the desired production capacity and efficiency be achieved.

These are the differences between jaw crushers and impact crushers. When choosing equipment, it is important to select the appropriate crushing equipment based on the different functions and requirements.
