Jaw Crusher - Fork Plate Category: Jaw Crusher Wear Parts | Date: June 6, 2025 The fork plate in the jaw crusher is one of the key wear parts. It is located in the crushing chamber. Its main function is to guide the material into the crushing area and withstand the impact and friction of the material. The fork plate is usually made of high manganese steel or other wear-resistant alloy materials to ensure that it has sufficient hardness and toughness, thereby extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs. The design of the fork plate usually takes into account the characteristics of the crushed material and the working conditions of the crusher to ensure the best crushing effect and wear resistance. Its surface is specially treated, such as surface hardening or surfacing wear-resistant layer, to further improve wear resistance. The shape and size of the fork plate are precisely calculated to adapt to different models of jaw crushers and ensure coordinated work with other components in the crushing chamber such as plate hammers, impact plates, etc. During use, the fork plate may be subjected to strong impact and wear, so it needs to be checked and replaced regularly. Choosing the right fork plate is essential to keep the crusher running efficiently and reduce operating costs. By using high-quality fork plate wear parts, the overall performance and production efficiency of the crusher can be significantly improved. Main applications Mining: In metal and non-metal mining, it is used for primary crushing and transmitting power to achieve ore crushing. Building material production: In sand and gravel plants, it is used to crush raw materials such as limestone and produce building aggregates. Metallurgical industry: It is used to crush raw materials such as iron ore and coke to provide pretreatment for smelting. Chemical industry: It is used to crush bulk chemical raw materials, such as salt mines and phosphate mines, to provide materials of suitable particle size for chemical reactions Main materials High-grade alloy
