INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Fixed Jaw Plate

Stationary crushing surface in jaw crushers that processes materials through compressive force.

Component Specifications

Definition
The Fixed Jaw Plate is a critical wear component in jaw crushers, mounted on the stationary frame opposite the moving jaw. It forms one side of the crushing chamber where raw materials like rocks, ores, and aggregates are compressed against the moving jaw plate. Its stationary position provides the reaction surface for the oscillating motion of the movable jaw, creating the compressive force needed for size reduction. The plate's geometry, tooth profile, and material composition directly influence crushing efficiency, product gradation, and wear resistance.
Working Principle
Works on the principle of compressive crushing. As the movable jaw plate oscillates toward the fixed jaw plate, material fed into the crushing chamber is trapped and compressed between the two surfaces. The fixed jaw remains stationary, providing a reaction surface that enables the generation of high compressive forces (typically 100-350 MPa) to fracture brittle materials through mechanical stress exceeding their compressive strength.
Materials
High manganese steel (Mn13, Mn18Cr2), alloy steel with chromium carbide overlay, or martensitic steel. Typical specifications: ASTM A128 Grade B-2 (11-14% Mn), DIN 1.3401, or wear-resistant steel plates like Hardox 400/500 with Brinell hardness 400-500 HB.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should fixed jaw plates be replaced?

Replacement intervals depend on material abrasiveness and throughput. Typically every 300-2000 operating hours. Monitor wear patterns and replace when wear exceeds 30-40% of original thickness or when crushing efficiency drops significantly.

Can fixed jaw plates be reversed for extended life?

Yes, many designs allow rotation or reversal when the bottom section wears faster than the top. This doubles service life by utilizing both ends of the wear surface before replacement.

What causes premature wear on fixed jaw plates?

Common causes include improper material feed (oversize or tramp metal), incorrect plate material for the application, excessive crushing force, poor alignment with moving jaw, and abrasive materials without proper material selection.
