Worked at an Arizona copper mine in their mill and crusher area as part of the maintenance crew. The jaw crusher would break up the ore to then be fed into the Symons cone crusher to get it down to pea sized gravel for the ball mills. Even after being around these machines day in and day out, I'm still fascinated by their brute strength. Guess I'm like a little kid who likes to watch bulldozers? On the downside, repairing them isn't any fun when they break down, but that's what I signed up for.
What I find particularly fascinating about the crushers is that you can take any type of rock - natural and/or manmade, and use the finished crushed rock for other things. In Europe, concrete companies are required by law to use a certain percentage of concrete reclaimed from the deconstruction of anything made of concrete. According to the reports, this was done because rock quarries were operating everywhere in Europe. This causes all manners of disruption to the lives of individual citizens, and before the law was passed, most of the concrete from deconstructing buildings, bridges, etc. ended up in landfills - among other places.
I worked with two of these my last job before retirement, it was dusty, dirty but I found a lot of crushed rock had great colors inside. I must have brought 100 pounds home for my Honey’s rock garden. She loved them!
I work at a sand and gravel company. Once in awhile I'll sit along side the input belt to the gyro crusher while picking out wood and debris, including occasional pieces of steel that went through the jaw crucher and the magnet didn't pick up, so it wouldn't get lodged in the gyro and jam it to a stop. I would look for quarts going up the belt to see if I can find gold in it.
You said listen to the crusher. That's funny. Cuz I use to run the primary crusher . A jaw crusher. I think it was a cedar rapids. But I love the rythum of the crushing.. I love that job . I would ask the loader guy to send me some big ones from time to time. We had 2 bottoons for the feeder. The one had a long cord so you could walk out on the plat form above the jay. I could work the feeder where it would bounce in the way I wanted it to. . The guys liked when I was on the crusher. I could a get few hundred more ton per day than any one else. When a rock would be dificult we had a loader shank on a long cable we lower down and try to move the rock where it would grab a holt . I miss those days . But I was a lot younger back then too. Sorry to be flapping my gums . Just brought back alot of fun and good memorys Thank you for sharing

My father fell into an old fashioned one of these 41 years ago.

Yeah within a few seconds of seeing one of these on video it was like "wow that's a dangerous machine that requires a lot of respect to be around." Be conscious about your hands at all times!
Maybe it's just the little boy in some of us, like running over plastic bottles and blowing things up, there something so satisfying watching those rocks being crushed! lol
Thank you for your videos! I always find it fascinating how applying pressure in a point breaks a rock that, if you put it flat in an hydraulic press, would take tens of thousands of pounds to break. If I may ask: how much pressure do you estimate a jaw crusher applies at the tip of the individual jaw ribs against the material you are crushing? Is there a figure you can share just for curiosity value?
the ribs will slow down wearing out when the compressive strength of the used material is reached. so I guess it will be around 1.000 - 1.600 MPa or 150.000 - 230.000 psi. but that's just a rough estimate.

Years ago I had access to a machine-shop and was making a tiny jaw-crusher to use as a coffee grinder! The thing gummed up real fast, needed constant cleaning to run right...now I buy coffee pre-ground.
You should start pitching these to equipment rental type places... As a homeowner in AZ with a bit of acreage, I have enough rocks that it would cost a couple grand to dispose of at the dump... but spending 10-12k on the 6x10 guy so I can use it for a week is even more prohibitive... I've seen some home built versions of these, and been looking for one for a while, but the price is a bit hard to get in on... For selling, I'd say 1-2k for a homeowner/small farmer for less industrial sized loads would probably be best... Another idea - maybe sell the head as a tractor PTO operated deal? Either way, I love this design, ever since i saw em on donndiy's channel! Thank you for making them!
A baby jaw crusher! Never seen one that small. I worked on a bunch of Simon 7 foot cone crushers and gyrator crushers in my day. Seen a few big jaws, but never one this small.
We have an antique jaw crusher that was very small. It ran off an old flat belt from an old steam powered pto or traction engine. It was moved around with 4 steel spoked wheels.
I've never seen one of these before. That's brutal af. I love machines like this. Just those industrial shredders/grinders that have teeth on a wheel. So badass!
Parts of this video clearly show how brittle un-reinforced concrete is compared to natural rock. Good for a 1st year mechanical engineering student to watch.
Thank you for real prices at websites, other than almost all other companies. Could be handy to crush stones for roads. But takes about 1000 tonnes to pay itself back. How durable those are? How often you need to change jaws when crushing natural granit rocks or similar?

The fixed jaw liner that is loose around the 50 second mark, wil wear out the main frame, causing serious damage and crushing difficukties later on. Especially so in larger jaw crushers.
So are there any dust suppression systems in place. When dealing with rock and especially glass dust all day long, you need to protect your lungs. Even more so if it's on a regular basis. Still very impressive.
My thought as well. They should be sorting the stone first so that they can resale it later at a premium. They could use it for concrete countertops, the engineered countertops, and trezza flooring.
Nice thing about crushing that asphalt is it is environmentally inert, no hazard issues from the pile. rain can run through it and it doesn't extrude the oil media that sticks it together. would you explain some of the environment issues in the crushing operation? maybe in a newer video? Great stuff,

They use an eccentric shaft and flywheels to move a swinging jaw die forward and backward toward a stationary jaw die. When rock is fed into the jaw this action crushes the friable rock and gravity pulls the material farther down the jaw repeating the process. When the material has been crushed so fine it falls through the bottom the job is complete.
