Jaw plates for hard-working plants
Every primary jaw crusher at a South African quarry, mobile contract circuit or recycling yard depends on its jaw plate set to bite into abrasive stone and keep output moving. When the feed is hard quartzite from the Highveld, round granite boulders or stubborn dolerite, standard grades often wash out early. These jaw plates are cast in manganese (Mn13 or Mn18) and built specifically for the kind of high-impact, high-abrasion conditions that stop production if you run the wrong liner. Abrasive fines accelerate wear at the jaw ends and corners, while tramp steel in recycled material can spell disaster if the plate cracks or the toggle doesn’t give.
- Primary and mobile jaw plants
- Handles quartzite, granite, dolerite, recycled feed
- Withstands heavy, uneven loading
What ships with your Jaw Plate Set
When you order a jaw plate set from Crusher Consumables, you receive two manganese jaw liners in your selected grade, along with a seat note pack that flags cheek and seat clearances for your machine’s OEM profile. Hardness bands help you track work-hardening on the liner as tonnes go through. The set includes a change-window checklist, making shift handover simple for plant leads managing high wear. Mass ranges from 180 to 420 kg per plate, so safe lifting is a must. Options for stock or just-in-time casting mean there’s a window to suit urgent breakdowns or planned campaigns.
- Choose Mn13 or Mn18
- Seat and cheek fit notes included
- Change-out checklist supplied
South African wear conditions and plate choice
Joburg’s quartzite wears even the best liners fast, while in the Karoo and coastal quarries, salt exposure and clay build-up introduce new complications. In Durban’s humidity or with Cape southeaster winds blowing dust, you need to keep an eye on seating, as fines pack in behind the plate and can threaten tightness. Recycle yards introduce rebar and tramp, so a well-matched toggle plate and cheek set are vital. For all these conditions, Crusher Consumables can advise on the optimal manganese grade and supply the correct profile to fit your plant’s make and region.
- Highveld: quartzite, granite, dolerite
- Coastal: salt, fines, humidity
- Recycling: tramp, rebar, dust
