There are many different series and models of jaw crushers. There are many different series and models of jaw crushers. How to choose the model of jaw crusher with a production capacity of 500 t/h? What is the feed particle size, discharge particle size, production capacity, and motor power of the crusher that meets the requirement. Understanding these parameters can help us determine whether the crusher meets your specific processing needs. At the same time, it can also estimate the production cost of producing one ton of sand and gravels, allowing customers to judge if it’s a cost-effective solution.
For a 500 t/h jaw crusher, the feed particle size typically depends on the model and design, but generally falls within the following range:
Feed Particle Size Range
Maximum Feed Size: ~1,000–1,500 mm (40–60 inches)
Larger jaw crushers (e.g., 1,500×2,000 mm) can handle bigger granite blocks.
Optimal Feed Size: ~800–1,200 mm (32–48 inches)
Ensures smooth operation without excessive wear.
Key Factors Affecting Feed Size
Granite Characteristics: Hardness and abrasiveness may slightly reduce the optimal feed size to avoid excessive wear.
Crushing Ratio (Typically 6:1 to 8:1)
Output after primary jaw crushing: ~150–300 mm (for secondary cone crusher feed).
