In the ceramics industry, raw material refinement is essential to ensure product quality and consistency. Jaw crushers, known for their robust structure and high crushing capacity, are increasingly used not only for primary crushing but also for fine crushing of materials like quartz sand and feldspar, which are key components in ceramic production.

Why Jaw Crushers Are Ideal for Ceramic Raw Materials

1. High Crushing Efficiency
Modern jaw crushers are equipped with advanced crushing chambers and optimized motion, allowing for precise particle size control, especially crucial for materials that must meet strict granulometric standards in ceramic production.

2. Uniform Particle Shape
For materials such as quartz sand and feldspar, uniform particle distribution enhances mixing and sintering during ceramic processing. Jaw crushers ensure consistent output with minimal flake formation.

3. Energy-Saving Design
Compared to traditional crushing equipment, jaw crushers designed for fine applications come with energy-efficient motors and minimal wear part replacement needs, helping reduce operational costs.

4. Adaptability to Multiple Materials
Jaw crushers can handle a range of ceramic-related raw materials including:

• Quartz sand
• Potash and soda feldspar
• Kaolin-based clay blends
• Alumina-rich materials

Typical Production Setup

In a ceramic raw material processing line, jaw crushers are often used in the secondary or tertiary stage, following a rough crushing phase. This ensures that materials entering grinding or mixing stages are already close to the target size, improving overall production throughput.

Example:

• Input size: ≤ 100 mm
• Output size: 5–20 mm
• Capacity: up to 80–250 TPH depending on model

Use Case: Quartz Sand Crushing for Porcelain Production

Quartz sand must be finely crushed to around 5–10 mm for use in porcelain and sanitaryware. A PE600×900 jaw crusher or similar model ensures:

• Stable grain size distribution
• Reduced dust generation
• High throughput to meet production demands

Use Case: Feldspar Processing for Ceramic Tiles

Feldspar acts as a flux in tile manufacturing. Using a jaw crusher ensures optimal sizing, which improves:

• Melting behavior during firing
• Surface smoothness of finished tiles
• Overall consistency of the ceramic body
