The jaw plate is a critical component in a crusher. Choosing the wrong replacement can lead to fast wear, reduced output, or even unplanned downtime. Here’s what you need to focus on:
Material Compatibility
-
High Manganese Steel (Mn13–Mn18): Suitable for general ore crushing, cost-effective.
-
High Chromium Cast Iron: Best for harder ores or materials with impurities, offering higher wear resistance.
⚠️ Note: Material selection directly affects lifespan and depends on ore hardness and moisture content.
Model and Specification
-
Ensure the jaw plate model matches your crusher exactly.
-
For replacement parts, use certified or tested compatible models to avoid installation issues or reduced efficiency.
Wear Resistance and Lifespan
-
Prioritize products with clear wear data.
-
Some suppliers offer reinforced or coated plates for longer service life.
Supplier Capability
-
Reliable supply and timely delivery prevent costly downtime.
-
Prefer suppliers who provide technical support, installation guidance, and after-sales service.
Cost vs Value
-
Don’t just chase low price; low-quality plates wear out quickly and increase total cost.
-
Opt for parts that balance quality and lifespan to reduce replacement frequency and labor costs.
Pro Tip: Request material data, wear test reports, and model compatibility from your supplier before purchase. This step is critical for maintaining production efficiency.
