A small jaw crusher with rollers combines the primary crushing action of a jaw crusher with the secondary crushing or sizing capability of rollers. This setup is useful for applications requiring fine output or processing softer materials. Here’s what you need to know:

Key Features:
1. Jaw Crusher Component:
– Primary crushing of hard/abrasive materials (e.g., rock, ore).
– Adjustable discharge gap for coarse sizing.
– Typically has a small feed opening (e.g., 6″x10″) for compact use.
2. Roller Crusher Component:
– Secondary crushing/sizing (e.g., clay, coal, softer rocks).
– Rollers compress and shear material for finer output.
– Adjustable roller gap to control product size.
3. Compact Design:
– Portable or fixed configurations.
– Electric or diesel power options.
Applications:
– Laboratory/Testing: Small-scale material processing.
– Recycling: Crushing glass, ceramics, or construction waste.
– Mining/Quarrying: Pre-crushing before finer grinding.
– Agriculture: Processing fertilizers or feed materials.
Advantages:
– Two-stage crushing in one machine.
– Better control over final product size.
– Energy-efficient for certain materials compared to hammermills.
Limitations:
– Not ideal for very hard materials (rollers wear faster than jaws).
– Higher maintenance if rollers are used aggressively.
Example Models:
1. Combination Jaw-Roller Crushers: Custom-built units (rare; usually separate machines in sequence).
2. Standalone Jaw Crusher + Roller Add-On: Some manufacturers offer modular designs where rollers are added downstream.
Alternatives:
If a true integrated unit isn’t available, consider:
– A small jaw crusher followed by a separate roller mill.
– A dual-stage portable plant with both machines linked.
