250 X 400 JAW CRUSHER MACHINE

Introduction

From the model specification, 250 X 400,

 Gape= 250 mm
 Width= 300 mm
First approximation of vertical height of crusher:
H = 2 x Gape = 2 x 250 mm= 500 mm
Largest particle size:
0.9 x Gape = 0,9 x 250 mm= 225 mm
This is the largest size the machine can crush. Therefore, scalping screen should be
installed before the crusher machine. Placement of scalping screens results in smooth and
uninterrupted operation of the circuit and also prevents any damage to the crusher by
extra-large lumps.
The feed rate must be constant, and this is controlled by the conveyor belt.

Operating Functions
The rule of thumb applicable for operating a jaw crusher with respect to its design
characteristics can be summarized as follows:

The length of stroke/throw for 250 mm gape according to the above formula: L =
5.48 cm
The operation of jaw crushers was best described mathematically by Whiten[CITATION
Whi72 \l 1033 ]

If a certain particle size, d, in the size distribution curve of a mineral, is less than K1 then
it would pass through uncrushed, being smaller than the opening of the set. But all
particle sizes greater than K2 were smaller than the largest opening between the jaws of
the jaw crusher and therefore will always be crushed. The probability P of a particle
being crushed or not may be written as:
The values of K1 and K2 are primarily functions of the crusher set but also depend on
throughput, feed size and liner length and are determined statistically by regression
analysis of operating data. Such relationships were initially determined by Lynch [3] and
later revised by Anderson and Napier-Munn [4] as
