I. Advantages of Small Jaw Crushers

1. Handling High-Hardness Materials

   • Utilizes static extrusion crushing, suitable for high-hardness ores like granite and basalt, with strong wear resistance.

2. Uniform Discharge Granularity

   • Adjustable jaw plate gap ensures uniform block-shaped output, ideal for coarse crushing (particle size range: 10-350 mm).

3. Simple and Durable Structure

   • Fewer moving parts reduce failure rates and maintenance costs, especially suitable for harsh working conditions.

4. Low Energy Consumption

   • Extrusion-based crushing consumes less energy than impact methods, ideal for long-term continuous operation.

5. Strong Adaptability

   • Capable of processing materials with high moisture or clay content, minimizing clogging risks.

Typical Applications: Primary crushing in mining, initial processing of construction waste, and concrete recycling.

II. Advantages of Small Hammer Crushers

1. High Crushing Ratio & High Yield

   • Achieves primary-to-fine crushing in a single machine (discharge size ≤25 mm), suitable for medium-soft materials like limestone and coal gangue.

2. Flexible Particle Size Adjustment

   • Quickly controls output size by replacing sieve plates or adjusting hammer speed.

3. Integrated Shaping Function

   • Impact crushing produces rounded particles, ideal for manufactured sand or aggregate processing.

4. Compact and Portable Design

   • Highly integrated structure suits mobile production lines or space-limited sites.

5. Handling Sticky or Wet Materials

   • Anti-clogging designs in some models allow processing of materials with ≤15% moisture content.

Typical Applications: Medium-fine crushing in cement plants (e.g., limestone), secondary crushing of construction waste, and small-scale sand production.

III. Key Selection Guidelines

• Choose Jaw Crushers for:

  • High-hardness materials (Mohs hardness ≥5), coarse crushing with uniform output, and long-term low maintenance costs.

• Choose Hammer Crushers for:

  • Medium-low hardness materials, high-yield fine crushing or sand-making needs, space constraints, or mobile operations.
