The working principle of jaw crusher is based on the reciprocating movement of the movable jaw that compresses and crushes the rock or ore between itself and the fixed jaw, as the material enters the zone between the jaws.
The moving jaw moves back and forward against the fixed jaw, and material fed from the top of the machine is compressed between the two, breaking it into smaller pieces.
As the moving jaw moves away from the fixed jaw, the crushed material is discharged from the crusher at the bottom, with the size of the ejected material determined by the gap between the jaws.
