Jaw Crusher for Volcanic Rock Crushing in Indonesia
June 25th 2025
Indonesia, an archipelago with over 130 active volcanoes, is rich in volcanic rocks such as basalt and andesite. These materials are widely used in construction, road building, and concrete production due to their strength and durability. However, volcanic rocks are also known for their extremely high hardness, which makes crushing them a challenge. This is where the jaw crusher proves essential as a primary crushing machine capable of breaking down tough volcanic stone into manageable sizes.
Why Choose a Jaw Crusher for Volcanic Rock?
Jaw crushers are particularly suited for crushing hard, abrasive materials, making them ideal for volcanic rock. Their main advantages include:
🔹 High crushing strength — ideal for hard basalt and andesite
🔹 Large feed size — accommodates unprocessed volcanic boulders
🔹 Simple structure and easy maintenance
🔹 Reliable performance in harsh quarry environments
🔹 Low operating cost and long lifespan
These features make jaw crushers the preferred equipment in many Indonesian mining and construction projects.

Volcanic Rock Applications in Indonesia
Volcanic rocks like basalt and andesite are widely used in:
Road base and railway ballast
High-strength concrete
Asphalt mixes
Building aggregates
Coastal protection structures
To meet market demand, volcanic rocks must be crushed into 0–5 mm, 5–20 mm, and 20–40 mm sizes—achievable with a jaw crusher as the first stage in the crushing process.
Typical Crushing Process with Jaw Crusher
Feeding raw volcanic stone into the jaw crusher (up to 600 mm)
Primary crushing down to 60–150 mm using a jaw crusher
Secondary crushing with cone or impact crusher
Screening to achieve uniform aggregate sizes
Storage or transport for construction use

Case Study: Basalt Crushing Project in Java
A construction company in East Java installed a PE600×900 jaw crusher and a secondary cone crusher for a 150 TPH basalt crushing line. The jaw crusher handled oversized volcanic stones from the quarry efficiently, producing uniform material suitable for asphalt road construction. Key results:
Increased crushing efficiency by 40%
Reduced operating costs
Achieved required aggregate sizes consistently
Environmental Benefits
On-site crushing reduces transport of heavy raw stone
Improved energy efficiency in material processing
Promotes use of local materials in Indonesian infrastructure projects
Conclusion
Using a jaw crusher for volcanic rock in Indonesia is an effective and reliable solution for processing hard materials. Whether for road building, concrete production, or mining operations, jaw crushers deliver durability and performance in demanding conditions.
