Jaw crusher model number naming rule popular science
1. Core Naming Logic
Jaw crusher model codes are composed of series code + crushing chamber type + feed opening dimension (width × depth). Different manufacturers follow industry universal naming conventions (especially Chinese mining machinery standards like SBM, Liming, etc.), with minor brand-specific variations.
2. Common Series Prefix Code Definition
PE Series — Primary coarse jaw crusher
- PE: Primary Jaw Crusher (P=Crusher, E=Jaw; standard coarse crushing model)
- Typical: PE 600×900
- Feed opening: 600mm width × 900mm depth
- Application: Primary coarse crushing, hard rock, mine primary crushing
PEW Series — European fine jaw crusher / Deep-chamber jaw crusher
- PEW: European Version Jaw Crusher (W=Wide/deep cavity, optimized European structure)
- Typical: PEW 860×1100
- Features: Higher swing stroke, deep crushing cavity, finer finished product, used for medium & fine crushing, secondary crushing
PEV Series — Vibrating jaw / New heavy-duty jaw crusher
- PEV: New heavy-duty jaw crusher, optimized vibration reduction and cavity shape, large mining heavy-duty primary crushing
JC Series — European standard jaw crusher (International brand naming habit)
- JC = Jaw Crusher, widely adopted by overseas brands
- Example: JC 1000×1200
Small/Lab Jaw Crusher
- PE 150×250, PE 200×300: Mini small jaw crushers for quarry small production line or laboratory sample crushing
3. Model Parameter Explanation (Most Critical Rule)
Format: Prefix Code + Feed Width × Feed Depth
PE 750×1060
- 750 = Feed opening width (mm) (horizontal dimension)
- 1060 = Feed opening depth (mm) (vertical dimension)
✅ Rule: The maximum feeding size is generally 80%–85% of feed width.
Example PE600×900: Max feed size around 480–510 mm.
4. Suffix Additional Codes (Manufacturer Customized)
Some manufacturers add suffix letters to indicate special configuration:
- S: Spring buffer enhanced version
- H: Hydraulic discharge adjustment
- M: Mobile mounted (matched with mobile crushing station)
- T: Track-mounted type
- Z: Heavy-duty reinforced frame
5. Single Toggle vs Double Toggle Mark
Modern mainstream industrial models (PE/PEW/JC) are single-toggle jaw crusher.
Double toggle jaw crushers rarely use independent prefix codes; manufacturers usually mark it in product introduction rather than model number.
6. Mobile Jaw Crusher Combined Naming Rule
When matched with mobile chassis, the complete model combines chassis + host model:
- Wheel mobile: YG938E69 → YG=Wheeled mobile station; 938=feeder model; E69=PE600×900 jaw host
- Track mobile: LT106 → LT=Track mobile; 106 represents 1000×600 jaw crusher
7. Common Misunderstandings
- ❌ The two figures are NOT length and discharge opening; they are feed opening dimensions
- ❌ PEW is not “small crusher”; it is European optimized cavity, can be large size for medium crushing
- ❌ Different brands may use identical model codes but slightly different actual parameters; always check official datasheet
