LMC400 Jaw Crusher

LMC400 Jaw Crusher

Powerful Jaw Crusher for crushing hard materials such as rocks, ores and construction materials with high a throughput

LMC400 Jaw Crusher with anti vibration frame LMC400 Jaw Crusher with anti vibration frame and large infeed hopper LMC400 Jaw Crusher stand alone version without frame

The LMC400 Jaw Crusher is used for the rapid, effective crushing and pre-crushing of medium-hard, hard, brittle and tough materials. Its variety of materials offered, including heavy-metal free steel, its efficiency and safety makes it ideal for sample preparation in laboratories and industrial plants. For small amounts of sample the LMC400 is used batch-wise; for larger amounts it can be operated continuously. Control of the gap width and zero point adjustment allow for reproducible results. Thanks to the modular construction of housing and frame this jaw crusher is suitable for a wide range of applications.

Jaw Crusher Working principle

A jaw crusher is a primary crushing machine used in various industries such as mining, quarrying, and construction. It works on the principle of compression, where the material is crushed between a fixed jaw and a movable jaw.

The material to be crushed is fed into the top of the crusher chamber. As the movable jaw moves towards the fixed jaw, the material is crushed between the two jaws. The crushing action occurs when the material is squeezed and compressed between the jaws. The crushed material is discharged through the bottom of the crusher chamber, where it can be further processed or collected.

Our jaw crushers are equipped with an adjustment mechanism that allows the setting of the gap between the jaws to be adjusted to control the size of the crushed material.

Contamination-free crushing

The jaw plates are typically made of materials that are chemically inert and resistant to abrasion, such as stainless steel, tungsten carbide, zirconia or different types of materials this is depending on the sample that is being processed. These materials ensure that no contaminants are introduced into the crushed material during the crushing process. This is particularly important in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental analysis.

LMC400 Jaw Crusher with vibratory feeder and Sieving street

Combining a jaw crusher with a vibratory feeder and sieving street can create an integrated system for the efficient processing and screening of crushed materials. A vibratory feeder and sieving street is a screening device used to separate particles based on size or other properties. It consists of a screening surface made of wire mesh or perforated plate that vibrates in a linear motion, allowing particles to pass through or be retained based on their size.

LMC400 Jaw Crusher FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

The LMC400 is built for hard, brittle and abrasive materials such as ore, rock, minerals, slag, clinker and similar industrial sample preparation materials.

The LMC400 offers a gap setting range of 6–50 mm. A smaller gap produces a finer product; a larger gap increases throughput and produces a coarser output.

Throughput can reach ~3500 kg/h depending on material properties, feed size, gap setting and feeding consistency.

Typical end fineness is < 6 mm, but the final result depends on the chosen gap, feed size, and whether the material fractures easily.

Depending on configuration, lubrication can be handled via central lubrication or automatic lubrication to support uptime and protect critical moving components.

Yes. The LMC400 is commonly integrated into sample preparation lines with feed hoppers, conveyors, and downstream sieving or secondary crushing/milling.
