What are the effects of unstable voltage on jaw crushers?

jaw crushers

1. Crushing efficiency and shutdown phenomenon

Reduced crushing efficiency: When the voltage at the workplace is unstable or too low, the jaw crusher may not be able to crush large materials efficiently due to insufficient power, resulting in a significant decrease in crushing efficiency.

Sudden shutdown: Unstable voltage may cause the crusher to suddenly shut down when processing large materials because the main machine cannot bear excessive pressure, seriously affecting production progress.

2. Equipment damage and failure

Loose or damaged mechanical parts: Unstable voltage may cause the eccentric shaft adapter sleeve to loosen or fall off, further causing the eccentric shaft to get stuck and unable to rotate normally. In severe cases, it may even be necessary to replace the eccentric shaft adapter sleeve and other parts.

Feeding and discharging problems: Unstable voltage may also cause uneven feeding, the crushed products cannot be discharged in time, and the materials are prone to blockage in the crushing chamber and the discharge port, further aggravating the wear and failure of the equipment.

3. Product quality impact

Uneven product size: When the voltage is too low, the crusher may not be able to crush the material to the expected size due to insufficient power, resulting in uneven discharge and affecting the production quality of the subsequent production line.

4. Preventive measures

Use a voltage stabilizer: In order to ensure that the jaw crusher operates under a stable voltage, a voltage stabilizer can be installed to adjust the input voltage to ensure that the output voltage remains within a safe range.

Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly check the electrical system, mechanical components, and key parts such as the discharge port, remove blocked materials in time, and replace severely worn parts to reduce the impact of unstable voltage on the equipment.

Optimize material handling: Screen and pre-treat the material before crushing to remove materials that are too large, too hard, or contain too much water to reduce the impact and wear on the crusher.
