Modular design enables easy installation
Nordberg C Series jaw crushers are modular for quick, easy installation
and commissioning in new plants and when replacing old jaw crushers.
This minimizes on-site engineering and fabrication, saves time, and reduces
installation and structural costs. The integral motor base reduces space
requirements and allows standard flywheel guards to be used, eliminating
the need for local engineering and fitting. The optional feed chute can be
attached during installation.

C Series jaw crushers are also easy to install in underground mining

applications as the modular design allows them to be dismantled for
transportation in tight spaces. Mounting the crusher does not require anchor
bolts. This is due to our unique solution where the crusher is standing on its
own weight, and vibrations are absorbed by rubber dampers under support
brackets. They are also engineered to deliver the maximum productivity at
the lowest operating costs.

· Longer wear part lifetime

due to less attrition

Excellent material intake capability

Nordberg C Series jaw crushers have excellent material intake capacity
because the feed opening has the right width to depth ratio. This ensures that
rocks enter the cavity without uptime-consuming bridging. C Series crushers
can handle very coarse feed material, thus reducing the need for blasting
and hammering. An optional feed chute is available, which is designed for
uninterrupted material flow from the feeder straight into the crusher cavity.

Conventional jaw crusher design: Nordberg C Series jaw crusher:

Aggressive pitman motion

Getting the kinematics of the movable jaw dies right is an important
aspect when considering the performance of a jaw crusher. Our
industry-leading stroke is amplified from top to bottom, being at its
longest in the lower parts of the cavity. This increases the open area
between the jaw dies allowing the material to have more space to get
out, while also enabling inter-particle crushing. This design principle
results in an increase in both the capacity and the reduction ratio.

Optimal nip angle ensures excellent bite in the cavity

The correct nip angle between the movable and fixed jaw dies ensures good bite and
material flow down, even with slippery feed material. It also reduces wear on the jaw dies,
reducing operating costs. With a good grip, the jaw crusher can crush rocks efficiently
through the entirety of the cavity, and the nip angle can be further improved with an
intermediate plate.

Optimal design reduces operational and wear costs

Metso offers a wide selection of different manganese jaw die profiles and thicknesses
to achieve the perfect match for applications including quarrying, mining, aggregates,
and recycling of demolition material and asphalt. We use the optimum tooth spacing
and profile, jaw thickness and alloys for each application to ensure reliable, long lasting
performance. Metso jaw die fixing components are extremely durable and can be quickly
replaced, reducing wear part-related costs even further. Metso also develops custom jaws
for special applications. Special cheek plates are also available.

Benefits of primary crushing with scalping

Smaller closed side settings may be possible depending on application and end product requirements. For a performance estimation for
your specific application, please simulate with the Bruno™ process simulation program or contact Metso.

The figures on the left represent the crusher capacities, which are based on a feed material with an average specific gravity of 2.7 t/m3,
a maximum feed size that will enter the crusher without bridging and material finer than the crusher closed side setting removed.

The capacities may vary depending on the feeding method and on feed characteristics such as gradation, bulk density and moisture,
clay content and crushability. Measurement of the crusher’s closed side setting varies depending on the jaw profile that is being used
and this has an impact on the crusher’s capacity and product gradation.

The following factors will enhance crusher capacity and performance:

1: Proper selection of the jaws
Scalped feed
2: Proper feed gradation
3: Controlled feed rate
4: Sufficient feeder capacity and width
5: Adequate crusher discharge area
6: Discharge conveyor sized to convey maximum crusher capacity

Benefits Non-scalped feed

· Better total capacity in all applications

· Better wear part wear profile
· Longer lifetime of wear parts
· Better total economy
· Lower risk of packing
