New Jaw Crushers for Sale

What is a jaw crusher?

A jaw crusher is a type of crushing machine used in mining, quarrying, and construction industries to reduce the size of large rocks or ore by compressing them between two hard surfaces (jaws). The jaws are set in a V-shape, with one stationary and the other moving in an oscillating motion to crush the material. Jaw crushers are known for their ability to handle a variety of materials and are typically used as primary crushers in various applications, including aggregates, mining, and demolition recycling.

History of jaw crushers

The history of jaw crushers dates back to the late 19th century, with the invention of the first modern jaw crusher by Eli Whitney Blake in 1858. Blake’s design, commonly known as the Blake jaw crusher, revolutionized rock crushing and paved the way for more advanced crushing machines. Over the years, jaw crushers have undergone significant improvements, including the development of single-toggle and double-toggle designs. Today, jaw crushers are an essential tool in many industries, known for their durability, efficiency, and ability to handle a wide range of materials.
