DESCRIPTION:
Jaw crusher is primary crushing equipment used for crushing of materials.
Blake type crusher, with movable jaw pivoted at top, giving greatest movement to small
lumps. This type of crusher has a movable crushing plate, usually corrugated, fixed in a
vertical position. Eccentric mechanism is used to move jaw in a reciprocating motion.
SPECIFICATIONS:
JAW SIZE – 100 mm X 180 mm approx.
Motor: 3 HP.
V belts: 2nos. B
INSTALLATION:
Cement foundation of size 1500 mm X 700 mm X 300 mm ht. (150 mm in ground)
CONNECTIONS:
3 phase electric supply with 3 phase DP.
PRECAUTIONS:
 Lumps to be crushed should be, not more than size of 70 mm.
 Material to be crushed should be dry enough to flow down. Wet material may stick
to jaw and may block equipment.
 Feed material slowly so that it should pass down.
 Energy meter must be installed properly, so that its rotating wheel rotates
properly.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
 NOISE: check oil.
 Chocking: remove material manually using a scrapper.
 Belt slip: pull motor back so that belts should tight.
 OILING: once in a week oil – 20W/40.
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
Jaw crusher is reduction equipment also called as impact braker. This particular type of Jaw
crusher is eccentric jaw crusher having swinging jaw mounted Backward as well as forward
motion. The upper and swing jaw is held in position against toggle by bush, Greater wear
caused by this motion and direct transmittal of shocks to the bearing limit its use to readily
breakable material. However a large reduction ratio useful for simplified low tonnage circulate
with fewer grinding steps is possible.

AIM:
1. Rittinger’s law constant
2. Bond’s law constant
3. Kick’s law constant & to plot size distribution of the material crushed.

PROCEDURE:
1. Take 20 kg. Of feed.
2. Note the initial size of feed.
3. Switch on jaw crusher and note down the time required for one revolution of energy
meter under no load condition OR no. of revolutions in fixed time intervals.
4. Charge jaw crusher with feed.
5. Note down time required for one revolution of energy meter under load condition.
6. Note down time required for crushing of sample.
7. Collect sample and screen it.

EQUIPMENT :-
Jaw crusher, energy meter, stop watch, standard sieves, weight balance,
container disc etc.
MATERIAL :-
Coal,Bricks or gravel ( Sample size may be 2 to 3 inch)
THEORY :-
The energy required for size reduction is given by dE/dD = C.Dn.
Where, dE= Energy required to effect a change dD in the size of unit mass of material
n = Exponent,
C = constant. Given in databook for different materials.

1. Rittinger’s law :
𝑃 1 1
E2 – E1 = ΔE = = 𝐾𝑅 ( − ) …….(1)
𝑀 √𝐷𝑠𝑏 √𝐷𝑠𝑎
Where, KR = Rittinger’s constant
Dsa & Dsb = Volume surface mean diameter
M = Mass feed rate for crushing
ΔE = Total energy required for crushing.

2. Kick’s law :
𝑃 𝐷
E2 – E1 = ΔE = = 𝐾𝐾 𝑙𝑛 (𝐷𝑠𝑎 ) …….(2)
𝑀 𝑠𝑏
Dsa/Dsb = Size reduction ratio
Kk = Kick’s law constant.

3. Bond’s law :
𝑃 𝑊𝑖 1 1

𝑀 √10 𝐷𝑠𝑏 𝑠𝑎

Where, P = Power required for crushing in KW

m = Tones of feed in one hour of grinding time(Feed rate in tons/hour)
Dsa & Dsb= Diameters of sieves through which 80% of the feed & product pass respectively in
mm.
Wi = Work index in KWh/tones {or KW/(tons/hr)}
PROCEDURE :-
1. Run the jaw crusher with no load. Determine the time required to
complete one revolution of energy meter disc(or the time required to
consume 1 unit of electrical energy), for energy calculation.
2. Feed 1000 gm of coal or gravel slowly into the crusher (sample of size may be +4 to -2 mesh)
& note down the power consumption under crushing condition of jaw crusher, by noting the
time required for one revolution of energy meter disc, with the help of stop watch.
3. Also note down the total time of crushing.
4. Do the sieve analysis of the crushed material.
RESULT:-
1. Rittinger’s constant KR =
2. Bond’s constant KB =
3. Kick’s law constant KK =
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION :-
It is used in industry to crush big lumps into coarse particles.
