Jaw design double crushes
A new bulletin from Universal Engineering describes the features and benefits of its line of overhead eccentric jaw crushers. The inward and downward movement of the jaw “force feeds” material through the crusher as it receives primary crushing at the top of the jaws and secondary crushing action at the bottom, according to the manufacturer. Setting the safety toggle plate at a steep angle produces the secondary crushing action, the company says. InfoExpress 714
