La capacidad de un mandíbula is usually measured in tons per hour (tph), but this is not a fixed figure. It is a dynamic variable and is affected by a combination of factors related to the material crushed, crusher design and operating parameters, and maintenance practices.Understanding these factors is critical to optimizing crusher performance and overall plant efficiency.

Jaw Crusher Capacity Influencing Factors

Jaw Crusher

I. Características de los materiales:

Hardness and Abrasiveness:

Hardness: Harder materials require more energy to crush and can significantly reduce the crushing speed, thus lowering capacity.

Abrasiveness: Highly abrasive materials cause faster wear on jaw plates and other crushing parts. Increased wear leads to reduced efficiency and necessitates more frequent replacements, resulting in downtime and lower overall capacity.

Humidity/Moisture Content:

Materials with high moisture content (especialmente “inner moistureabsorbed by the rock, not just surface water) can become sticky orclay-like,” leading to clogging and bridging in the crushing chamber. This impedes material flow and reduces throughput.

Composition and Particle Size Distribution of Feed:

Fines Content: Excessive fines (polvo) in the raw material can hinder crushing by filling voids in the chamber, reducing the efficiency of the crushing action, and potentially causing adhesion issues. Screening out fines before crushing can improve capacity.
