What went into designing AVJ Jaw crusher?
Inside-Out | January 1, 2021
It was the year 2008. The team of engineers at the research and development department of Propel Industries put their brains and hands together to come up with advanced jaw crusher equipment that can make crushing easy and efficient. After immense brainstorming, was born the series of jaw crushers from Propel Industries.
A total of five models of Jaw crushers have been designed by Team propel which have proved to be a game-changer in the crushing industry.
Irrespective of the type of rock to be crushed, Propel jaw crushers have become the ultimate choice of the customers and there are multiple reasons which attribute to this.
These are the factors that the R&D department considered before getting to work:
- The product must meet the customers’ unique requirements
- To serve crushing industry starting from 100 TPH to 600 TPH
- Cutting – edge technologies and efficiencies must be incorporated
- Over the years, the product must be in a position to evolve.
Other prime factors
Safety
The work in the crushing industry is as dangerous as in any other industrial plant. So, to ensure the safety of operators
- Limited number of service points has been placed.
- Lifting tools are given for jaw plates, cheek plates and toggle plate.
- The suggested maintenance procedures are absolutely safe.
Better performance – Why and how?
The design ensures smooth material flow and high reduction efficiency. This was achieved by having a deep, symmetrical crusher chamber, larger feed opening and optimised nip angle.
Feature | Benefits | Customers’ view |
---|---|---|
Integrated drive systems | Better ergonomics and low space requirement | They vouch for its compactness |
An equipment or plant gets to be accepted by the customers if its maintenance is easy and user-friendly.
Jaw crushers designed by Propel Industries have the following features for better maintenance
- CSS setting
- Retracting rod spring tension adjustment
- V belt change
- Greasing
For seamless operation, the jaw crushers have been built with
- Sturdy crusher body construction
- Spherical roller bearings on pitman shaft
- Balanced flywheel
- Vibration isolation pads
- IE2 Electric drive motor
Customers opt for AVJ Jaw crushers because
- It exhibits reliability through simple kinematics and single toggle mechanism.
- It has low cost per ton. Its austenitic manganese steel castings with varied manganese percentage caters to hard and abrasive rocks.
- The properties of interchangeability and reversibility of jaw plates ensure full utilisation of jaw plates.
- A wide range of jaw plate options are given which are coarse, corrugated, saw tooth and wider tooth. These are suitable for many different applications within the quarrying and mining segments.
- The equipment is easy to install. It can be fixed at a site or can be modular (skid mounted), semi-mobile (wheel mounted) and mobile (track –crawler mounted).
- The crushers have the ability to handle multiple type of rock strata like aggregates, gypsum and Gabbro.
