Concrete Jaw Crusher
Why is concrete crushing a crucial step in resource recycling?
In today's era of continuous urbanization and urban renewal, the fate of massive amounts of discarded construction concrete has become a core issue concerning sustainable development. Landfilling, which occupies land and pollutes the environment, is clearly no longer the best option. Crushing and screening waste concrete into recycled aggregates for reuse in road subbases, blocks, and even new concrete preparation is a true "turning waste into treasure." And all of this begins with a core piece of equipment—the concrete jaw crusher.

In-depth analysis of the concrete jaw crusher
Equipment overview and working principle
The concrete jaw crusher, also known as a jaw breaker, is inspired by the biting action of an animal's jaws. Its core structure consists of a fixed jaw plate and a movable jaw plate, forming a "V"-shaped crushing chamber. When a hard concrete block is fed into the inlet, the movable jaw plate periodically reciprocates against the fixed jaw plate, squeezing, splitting, and bending the material, thereby generating a powerful crushing force that breaks large pieces into smaller particles. This working principle is simple, direct, and efficient, making it particularly suitable as a primary crushing (coarse crushing) device in a construction waste crushing production line, laying a solid foundation for subsequent fine processing.
Core Advantages Designed Specifically for Concrete Crushing
Compared to processing natural rock, crushing waste concrete places unique demands on equipment. Our company's concrete jaw crusher boasts the following significant advantages:
1. High Strength and Durability: The moving jaw assembly utilizes a heavy-duty forged eccentric shaft and high-quality bearings. The jaw plates are made of highly wear-resistant manganese steel, capable of withstanding the impact and wear from reinforcing steel bars that may be embedded in the concrete, resulting in a longer service life.
2. Powerful Crushing Force and High Processing Capacity: The optimized crushing chamber design and larger feed opening easily accommodate large concrete components such as floor slabs, beams, and columns, resulting in high crushing efficiency and a powerful single-machine processing capacity.
3. Flexible and Adjustable Discharge Particle Size: By adjusting the wedges or shims at the bottom of the jaw plates, the discharge opening size can be easily adjusted, thereby controlling the particle size of the finished aggregate to meet the standards of different recycling applications.
4. Easy Maintenance and Low Operating Costs: The simple structure and easy-to-inspect and replace core components. The robust design reduces the failure rate, ensuring stable operation even under harsh conditions, resulting in low overall operating costs.

Successful Application Cases
Last year, we provided a complete production line solution, including a PE750×1060 large concrete jaw crusher, to a large construction waste recycling center in East China. This center processes 2000 tons of waste concrete daily. Our jaw crusher, with its superior stability and impressive crushing efficiency, successfully solved the problems of inconsistent material sizes and numerous steel reinforcement inclusions, achieving a stable output particle size below 150mm, creating perfect conditions for subsequent iron removal, secondary crushing, and screening processes. Customer feedback indicates that this equipment has become the "most reliable link" in their production line.
Recommended Supporting Equipment
An efficient construction waste processing plant, in addition to the core concrete jaw crusher, typically requires the following equipment to work in conjunction:
• Feeding Equipment: A vibrating feeder to uniformly and continuously feed material to the jaw crusher, preventing blockages.
• Iron Removal Equipment: High-powered belt separators or suspended iron separators are used to separate reinforcing bars from concrete blocks, protecting subsequent equipment.
• Secondary Crushing Equipment: Impact crushers or cone crushers are used to perform medium and fine crushing of the aggregate from the jaw crusher, obtaining finished products of different specifications.
• Screening Equipment: Multi-layer vibrating screens are used to classify the crushed material according to different particle size specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can a concrete jaw crusher handle concrete blocks with reinforcing bars?
A1: Absolutely. Professional concrete jaw crushers are designed with this condition fully in mind. Their robust frame, reinforced jaw plates, and overload protection devices can withstand the impact of reinforcing bars. However, to protect the equipment and improve efficiency, it is recommended to install iron removal equipment before feeding or after crushing to separate the reinforcing bars.
Q2: How is the particle size of recycled aggregate controlled? Can it be used to produce new concrete?
A2: By adjusting the discharge port at the bottom of the jaw crusher, the particle size after primary crushing can be roughly controlled. To obtain precisely graded recycled aggregate (e.g., 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-31.5mm), a vibrating screen is required. High-quality recycled aggregate meeting specific standards can completely replace some natural aggregates for preparing new concrete with strengths of C25-C30 and below, and is widely used in subbases, non-load-bearing structures, etc.
Q3: How does a jaw crusher used for concrete differ from one used for crushing natural rock?
A3: The core principles are the same, but the design focuses differ. Concrete jaw crushers emphasize impact resistance and the ability to handle complex materials (such as inclusions), and may have special reinforcements in the liner material and main shaft strength. Mining jaw crushers, on the other hand, are more focused on continuously combating extremely hard rocks, and may have extreme optimizations in wear resistance and continuous high-pressure crushing force.
