Designed to handle hard and highly abrasive ores and rocks, this series is widely used in metallurgy, mining, chemical engineering, cement, construction, refractory materials, and ceramics industries. It is capable of crushing materials with compressive strength up to 300MPa, making it an indispensable tool for primary crushing operations.
1.1 Innovative Structural Design
The C6X Jaw Crusher features a detachable, weld-free frame structure, a significant innovation compared to traditional welded frames. The frame adopts a separated design of side walls, front walls, and rear walls, fixed by bolting instead of welding. This design eliminates stress concentration issues caused by welding, enhancing the structural compactness and reliability of the equipment . Another notable structural feature is the double wedge adjustment device, which replaces the traditional shim plate adjustment for the discharge opening. The adjustment can be achieved through mechanical or hydraulic means as needed, making the operation simpler, time-saving, and safer.
To reduce the impact on the foundation and extend the equipment's service life, the C6X Jaw Crusher is equipped with an elastic limit shock absorption device. This device uses elastic limit blocks and rubber shock absorbers instead of rigid foundation connections, effectively absorbing shock peak loads, reducing mutual impact between the crusher and the foundation, and minimizing fatigue damage to the foundation . Additionally, the integrated motor base design saves installation space, and the pin-hinged belt tensioning scheme ensures stable power transmission and convenient adjustment.
1.2 Optimized Crushing Performance
The crushing chamber of the C6X Jaw Crusher has undergone repeated optimization, increasing the actual feed size. Combined with the large stroke and steep toggle plate angle design, the stroke at the bottom of the crushing chamber is further enhanced, resulting in stronger material handling capacity and significantly improved crushing efficiency . The working principle of the C6X Jaw Crusher is based on the reciprocating swing of the moving jaw. Driven by an electric motor, power is transmitted to the pulley through an SPC belt, which then drives the eccentric shaft to rotate, causing the moving jaw to swing back and forth and up and down. When the moving jaw plate approaches the fixed jaw plate, the volume of the crushing chamber decreases, and the materials inside are squeezed or crushed. When the moving jaw plate moves away from the fixed jaw plate, the volume of the crushing chamber increases, and the crushed small materials are discharged from the discharge opening. This continuous cyclic motion ensures efficient and continuous crushing operations.
1.3 High-Quality Materials and Precision Manufacturing
SBM attaches great importance to the quality of key components in the C6X Jaw Crusher. Critical parts such as the front wall, rear wall, moving jaw body, and bearing seat are made of alloy cast steel, while the main shaft is made of forging materials with higher comprehensive mechanical properties, enabling the equipment to withstand high impact loads .

3.1 Working Principle and Structural Advantages
The working principle of the CI5X Impact Crusher is based on impact force. Driven by the electric motor, the rotor rotates at high speed with blow bars attached. When materials are fed into the crushing chamber, they are first crushed by the blow bars, then thrown onto the impact plates for further crushing, and then bounce back from the impact plate liners to the action area of the blow bars for re-crushing. This process is repeated as the materials move through the first, second, and third impact chambers from large to small. When the particle size of the crushed materials is smaller than the gap between the blow bars and the impact plates, they are discharged from the lower part of the equipment. The output size can be adjusted by changing the gap between the impact frame and the rotor.
The Impact Crusher boasts several structural advantages. It features a low feeding height and a large feed opening, facilitating the selection of production lines and accommodating larger feed sizes. The unique keyless connection design ensures strong rigidity and a large rotor moment of inertia, enhancing the equipment's stability and crushing capacity. High-chromium blow bars, impact plates, and liner plates made of new wear-resistant materials significantly extend the service life of vulnerable parts, reducing operational and maintenance costs.
3.2 Outstanding Performance and Application Scenarios
