Telsmith Jaw Crushers for Powerful Crushing and Aggregates Production

Introduction to Telsmith Jaw Crushers

Jaw crushers are vital pieces of machinery in the construction, mining, and aggregate industries. As one of the most established jaw crusher manufacturers in the world, Telsmith offers a full range of jaw crushers for diverse applications.

Telsmith first introduced their jaw crusher in 1921, and since then has pioneered innovative designs that have transformed the industry. Telsmith jaw crushers are trusted by customers around the globe for their powerful crushing capabilities, reliability, and exceptional performance.

How Jaw Crushers Work

Jaw crushers utilize compressive force to break down large rocks into smaller, more manageable pieces. This mechanical pressure is generated by the two jaws of the crusher; one jaw is fixed while the other moves back and forth. The opening between the two jaws is larger at the top than at the bottom.

Here's how jaw crushers work in more detail:

• Rocks or aggregate materials are fed into the top of the jaw crusher via a vibrating grizzly feeder which helps control the flow of material.
• The movable jaw oscillates back and forth, opening and closing the gap between the two jaws.
• As the jaw closes, it crushes the material against the fixed jaw. The force of the jaws continually grinding and crushing the rocks results in product falling out the bottom.
• The gap between the two jaws narrows as the material moves through the crusher, allowing the jaws to efficiently process rocks to the desired size.
• Product exits the jaw via gravity. Larger discharge settings allow for coarser finished products.
