The presence of soil in stone material silently affects the efficiency of jaw crushers in a negative manner. This is because it causes clogging in crushers. So, pre-screening stone material to remove soils is the most suitable defense.
Additionally, soils in stone material act as an abrasive slurry. As a result, jaw plates and other moving parts wear down more quickly. High-hardness soils tend to corrode and scrape moving parts. As a result, moving parts have a shorter lifespan. This inevitably leads to higher maintenance expenses and seal leakage.
Stone material becomes stickier when moisture is present in the soil. This results in uneven particle sizes and decreases efficiency. Therefore, pre-washing or drying stone material is a crucial remedy.
The presence of soils in stone material not only reduces crusher efficiency but also causes vibration spikes. In addition to this, it reduces product quality and brings major challenges in operations. So, pre-screening and blending stone material with soils are essential to turn this crusher efficiency killer into a controlled variable.
