The Cost Difference Between Gyratory Crusher And Jaw Crusher

We all know that the rock crusher is used to crush stones, jaw crusher , as a type of rock crusher , is widely used in mining industry to break and crush rock material. To some degree, the gyratory crusher has some similarities. But there are some differences between them, such as initial expense and the cost of maintenance. The article tells the differences between them from their definitions and costs.

The jaw crusher has a long history. Since 1830, the United States has patent for a jaw crusher. The style of the jaw crusher nearly hasn't changed for many years, even though there are new technological advances which can help to update the jaw crusher. The jaw crusher consists of a contain fixed component and a movable component. The two components make a cone-like feeder into the crusher space. When we operate the machine, the materials are crushed smaller and smaller when they follow the conical shape.

We pour materials through the top of a gyratory crusher. And the gyratory crusher has two portions--one is fixed while the other is movable. When the materials are between the two portions, the movable one will move against the fixed one and then the materials will be broken down. Compared with the jaw crusher, the gyratory crusher can be used as primary or secondary crushers. When we need to break up and further refine larger rock material, the gyratory crusher also can be a useful machine.

The costs of the jaw crusher and the gyratory crusher are different. The costs consist of installation costs and repair costs. Generally, the costs of a jaw crusher installation are much lower than the costs of a gyratory crusher installation. But the long-term use and repair costs of the jaw crusher are more expensive than the gyratory crusher. So if we want to choose the cheaper, it depends on what we are going to use it to do.
