What size crushed stone can jaw crusher produce？

As the core primary crushing machine, jaw crushers feature adjustable discharge sizes ranging from 10mm to 1000mm. They can make various sizes of stone materials, from fine crushed stones to large rock blocks, and are widely used in mining, construction and building material industries.

The final output size depends on crusher model, discharge opening gap and raw material properties. Different models offer different size ranges to fit all stone crushing stages.
Small jaw crushers like PE150×250 accept raw stones under 125mm, with output size between 10mm and 40mm. Its hourly capacity is 1 to 3 tons. It is ideal for lab use and small workshops to produce fine aggregate and road paving stones.

Medium models such as PE400×600 can handle feed material up to 340mm, producing stones of 40mm to 100mm. The hourly output reaches 16 to 64 tons. It is the most common primary crushing equipment in stone plants, and its finished stones are perfect for road base and concrete aggregate.

Large jaw crushers including PE1500×1800 can take in rocks as big as 1200mm, with discharge size from 220mm to 1000mm and hourly output of 500 to 1000 tons. They are mainly used for first-stage crushing in large mines. The large finished rocks can be directly used for dam and slope protection projects, or sent for secondary crushing to get smaller sizes.

Fine jaw crushers like PEX300×1300 focus on medium and fine crushing work. Their output size is 10mm to 500mm, usually working as secondary crushers to make high-quality sand and stone aggregate.

Users can easily control finished stone sizes by adjusting the discharge gap. A wider gap makes coarser stones, while a narrower gap produces finer materials. Take PE500×750 for example, its discharge opening can be set from 50mm to 100mm to get stones of 50mm, 80mm and other needed sizes.

Besides machine settings, material hardness and moisture also affect crushing results. Hard rocks like granite form even finished stones, while soft stones such as limestone tend to create more fine powder. Operators need to adjust working parameters according to actual raw materials.
