Here at Crusher Works, jaw crushers like the Sandvik UJ640E, Sandvik QJ341, and Sandvik UJ440i are some of our most popular pieces of equipment. A jaw crusher is a type of machine used in construction, mining, and other industries to break down large rocks into smaller, more manageable pieces. Jaw crushers are also used heavily in industrial recycling, such as construction waste recycling, as they are powerful enough to crush concrete, asphalt, and more.

The machine works by using two powerful jaws that move in a way that mimics the motion of a human jaw when chewing.

1. The Feed: Large rocks or stones are fed into the top of the jaw crusher.

2. The Crushing Action: Inside the crusher, there are two jaws—one is fixed, and the other moves back and forth. The fixed jaw stays in place, while the moving jaw opens and closes. As the moving jaw closes, it crushes the rocks against the stationary jaw.

3. Breaking the Rocks: The rocks are broken into smaller pieces as the jaws crush them. The size of the pieces depends on the gap between the two jaws.

4. The Output: Once the rocks are small enough, they fall out of the bottom of the crusher and are ready for further processing or use in construction projects.

In short, a jaw crusher uses two powerful jaws that crush large rocks into smaller pieces by compressing them together, making it easier to handle and transport materials.
