Jaw Crusher BB 500 Best combination of power and final fineness

The Jaw Crusher BB 500 is specifically designed for accepting large feed sizes up to 110 mm. The gap width can be set stepless from 0-11 mm. Depending on the sample material, particle sizes down to 0.5 mm can be obtained in one working run, resulting in an excellent crushing ratio of 220. A throughput of up to 500 kg/h is possible with the BB 500.

The RETSCH jaw crusher series is available in 8 different sizes. Throughput and final fineness depend on the crusher type, selected gap width and breaking properties of the sample material.

Robust design, simple handling and cleaning are the features of the RETSCH jaw crusher models. Small amounts of sample are processed batchwise; for larger amounts the crushers can be operated continuously. 

Jaw Crusher BB 500 Superiority in detail

The BB 500 is a robust and powerful force-fed crusher characterized by its excellent crushing ratio. Thanks to the steep crushing chamber design, the highly effective crushing kinematics and the high frequency of the jaw movement it is possible to process samples with a feed size of up to 110 mm to a final fineness of 90 % below 0.5 mm in one working run.

The continuous gap width setting with scale ensures optimum size reduction in accordance with the set gap width. The receptacle for collecting the sample after crushing keeps up to 15 l sample per batch.

The feed hopper with splash-back protection can be removed quickly and easily. The BB 500 has a connection for dust extraction and is protected against mechanical overload.

Cleaning the crushing chamber is done quickly and easily thanks to removable hopper and exchangeable jaws and wearing plates.

The Jaw Crusher BB 500 is a robust and powerful forced-feed crusher. The feed material passes through the no-rebound hopper and enters the crushing chamber.

Size reduction takes place in the wedge-shaped area between the fixed crushing arm and one oscillating with high frequency. This motion ensures a consistent gap width in the stroke cycle so that the sample is crushed to the set fineness in one working step. Two massive flywheels transmit high impulse forces to the crushing jaws. The innovative design permits using both sides of the jaws thanks to a 180° rotation.

As soon as the sample is smaller than the discharge gap width, it falls into a removable collector. The continuous gap width setting with scale ensures optimum size reduction in accordance with the set gap width.
