750×1060 Jaw Crusher: A Prime Choice for Primary Crushing in Medium-to-Large Hard Rock Production Lines

PE750x1060 Jaw Crusher

The bottom line first: The 750×1060 jaw crusher (PE-750×1060) is a recognized workhorse for primary crushing in medium-to-large production lines with hourly capacities of 150–300 tons. With a maximum feed size of 630mm and a capacity of 110–320 t/h, a single unit can handle the primary crushing of hard rocks such as granite, basalt, and iron ore. If your project targets a daily output of 3,000–5,000 tons of aggregate or ore—and you have strict requirements regarding reduction ratio, jaw plate lifespan, and cost-per-ton—the 750×1060 jaw crusher is the primary piece of equipment to evaluate first.

I. What is the 750×1060 jaw crusher?

The designation "750×1060" refers to the dimensions of the feed opening (width × length: 750mm × 1060mm). It is a key model in the PE series, positioned for medium-to-large-scale operations and commonly referred to in the industry simply as the "75 jaw crusher." It features a deep V-shaped crushing chamber and an enlarged eccentric throw design; the wide swing stroke of the moving jaw allows it to effectively grip and crush large ore blocks (in the 600mm range) in a single pass. It frequently serves as the primary crusher in both stationary production lines and mobile crushing stations.

In terms of equipment selection, the 750×1060 jaw crusher sits between the PE-600×900 (60–180 t/h) and the PE-900×1200 (220–450 t/h). It represents a "sweet spot" balancing sufficient single-unit capacity, moderate investment costs, and stable operation, making it the most common choice for scaling up from small-to-medium lines to large-scale operations.

II. Key Parameters and Technical Specifications

The capacity listed in the table is rated based on medium-hard materials (such as limestone, with a density of approx. 1.6 t/m³). When crushing hard rock like granite or basalt, the actual capacity is approximately 75%–85% of the rated value. When selecting equipment, it is crucial to factor in a margin by calculating "nominal capacity × 0.8"—this is a common pitfall in production line planning. The maximum feed size of 630 mm means that 600 mm class run-of-mine stone can be fed directly into the machine without secondary blasting or pre-screening, often saving the cost of an entire blasting and loading system.

III. Applicable Scenarios

The 750×1060 jaw crusher is primarily used in the following four types of operations:

3.1 Large-scale Quarries and Aggregate Production Lines

Serving as the primary crushing unit, it works in conjunction with impact crushers or cone crushers to form a three-stage process (Jaw Crushing + Secondary Crushing + Sand Making). This is a mainstream configuration for aggregate lines with a daily output of 3,000 tons, widely used to supply aggregates for highways, railways, and hydroelectric power stations.

3.2 Primary Crushing in Metal Mines

For the primary crushing of run-of-mine ores—such as iron, copper, and manganese—at processing plants, the 750×1060 jaw crusher handles large feed sizes and high ore hardness. Its high-strength cast steel frame and deep crushing chamber are designed to withstand high-frequency impact conditions, preparing the material to meet the feed size requirements (typically ≤25mm) for downstream ball mills.

3.3 Mobile Crushing Station Main Unit

Mounted on YDPZ series tracked or wheeled mobile stations, the unit can be driven directly to the mining face to integrate extraction, crushing, and transport. It is particularly well-suited for infrastructure projects with dispersed sites or those requiring frequent relocation.

3.4 Construction Waste and Tailings Recycling

The crusher performs primary crushing on medium-hard recycled materials, such as concrete blocks and reclaimed asphalt pavement. The output undergoes secondary crushing to produce recycled aggregates for reuse, aligning with circular economy policies regarding construction waste.

IV. Core Advantages

4.1 Large Feed Opening and High Reduction Ratio; Streamlined Pre-processing

Featuring a 630mm feed opening and a deep V-shaped chamber, the crusher achieves a reduction ratio of 4–6:1. In most mining operations, material can be fed directly without the need for secondary blasting, significantly reducing extraction and loading costs.

4.2 Jaw Plate Longevity and Ease of Replacement

The high-manganese steel (Mn13Cr2) jaw plates are wear parts with a service life of approximately 6–12 months in hard-rock applications. Their symmetrical design allows them to be flipped end-for-end after wear, effectively doubling the lifespan of a single set and drastically lowering consumable costs per ton.

4.3 Hydraulic-Assisted Discharge Opening Adjustment (Optional)

The discharge opening is continuously adjustable between 80mm and 140mm. Hydraulic wedge adjustment takes only minutes, reducing downtime during product specification changes from hours to just over ten minutes—a significant benefit for customers handling orders with perse specifications.

4.4 Controllable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Based on a throughput of 200 tons per hour and 300 operating days per year: the full-load power consumption of the 110 kW motor is approximately 88 kWh/h (at $0.10/kWh, this equates to ~$8.80/h); annual costs for consumables—such as jaw plates and toggle plates—account for roughly 3%–5% of the total equipment price. Compared to a cone crusher-based solution with the same capacity, the cost per ton for the primary jaw crushing stage is 15%–20% lower, making it one of the primary crushing options with the fastest return on investment.

4.5 Reliable Structure and Low Maintenance Requirements

The frame features an integral cast steel or welded structure with an integrated bearing housing design. Routine maintenance focuses solely on lubrication and toggle plate clearance, requiring minimal operator skill; this makes it well-suited for overseas projects in regions like Africa and Southeast Asia where technical support and maintenance resources may be limited.

V. Practical Case Study

Case Study: 200 t/h Fixed Granite Quarry Production Line in Southeast Asia (Representative Configuration)

After commissioning, the primary crushing stage operated for an average of 550 hours per month; a single set of jaw plates lasted 8 months, and electricity consumption was approximately 0.44 kWh per ton. The project owner reported a ~22% reduction in crushing cost per ton compared to previously used imported second-hand equipment, with the equipment investment recovered within 18 months. Similar configurations using the 750×1060 jaw crusher are also commonly found in iron ore projects in South America, infrastructure aggregate projects in Africa, and limestone projects in the Middle East, demonstrating proven adaptability to perse operating conditions.

VI. Recommended Related Equipment

As the primary crusher in the production line, the 750×1060 jaw crusher requires the following equipment to form a complete processing chain:

Selection Advice: For hard rock (granite, basalt, iron ore), the "Jaw Crusher + Cone Crusher + VSI" combination is preferred. For medium-soft rock (limestone, dolomite, river pebbles), the more cost-effective "Jaw Crusher + Impact Crusher" combination can be used, potentially reducing the cost per ton by another 8%–12%.

VII. FAQ

Q1: What is the hourly processing capacity of the 750×1060 jaw crusher?

Under standard operating conditions (medium-hard material, 100mm discharge opening), the capacity is 110–320 t/h; in actual practice—specifically when crushing hard rock like granite—the stable output is approximately 180–250 t/h. Production capacity is influenced by feed size, clay content, and discharge opening size: adjusting the discharge opening from 100mm to 140mm can increase capacity by approximately 30%, though the resulting product size becomes coarser, requiring compatibility with the downstream secondary crusher's capacity.

Q2: What size stone can the 750×1060 jaw crusher handle? What are the feed requirements?

The maximum feed size is 630mm, meaning raw stones with a diameter of approximately 600mm can be fed directly into the machine. Three points regarding the feed should be noted: first, material exceeding 630mm must be pre-crushed to avoid chamber jamming; second, if clay content is high (>8%), pre-screening with a vibrating screen is recommended; third, metal foreign objects (such as drill rods or anchor bolts) are strictly prohibited from entering the machine, as jaw crushers are highly sensitive to iron objects—installing a metal detector or magnetic separator is recommended.

Q3: What is the motor size for the 750×1060 jaw crusher? What is the hourly power consumption?

The matching motor power is 90–110kW (110kW recommended). Power consumption during full-load operation is approximately 88 kWh per hour; based on an industrial electricity rate of $0.10/kWh, the hourly electricity cost is about $8.80. Calculated against an output of 200 tons per hour, the energy consumption is approximately 0.44 kWh per ton, making it one of the most energy-efficient inpidual machines in the entire production line. Motor specifications can be customized to match local grid voltages of 380V/50Hz or 460V/60Hz.
