•In the event of danger, the machine can be shut down at any time by pressing the
emergency stop button .
2.4 Intended use
The Jaw Crusher BB 600 is suitable for grinding medium to extremely hard substances and for
brittle and hard ductile materials.
The machine has been designed for 8-hour single shift operation. Use is only permitted in the
laboratory by appropriately trained and qualified staff.

3 Technical Data
3.1 Use of the Device for the Intended Purpose
Das The Jaw Crusher BB 600 is suitable for grinding medium to medium-hard substances and brittle
and hard ductile materials.
The machine can be used to grind the following materials:
•Concrete
•Ores
•Rocks
•Glass
•Ceramics
•Coal
•Minerals
•Slag
•Cement clinker
NOTICE
N3.0007
Range of application of the device
Long-term operation
−This laboratory device is designed for eight-hour single-shift operation
with a duty cycle of 30 %.
•This device may not be used as a production machine nor is it
intended for continuous operation.
3.2 Principle of Operation
The Jaw Crusher BB 600 is tough and powerful.
The feed material passes through the splash-free hopper and into the grinding chamber.
Grinding takes place in the wedge-shaped shaft between the jaws. The feed material is
crushed and moved downwards by the elliptical motion.
The sample falls into a removable collecting receptacle as soon as it is finer than the smallest
discharge gap width.
The infinitely variable adjustment of the gap width ensures an optimum setting for the feed
material and for the desired final fineness level.
3.3 Dimensions and Weight
Height: ~1,575 mm
Width: ~1,073 mm
Depth: ~1,456 mm
Weight: ~1,300 kg net

3.4 Required Floor Space
Width of floorspace: 1,080 mm
Depth of floorspace: 1,500 mm
No safety distance is required!
A space of around 50 cm should be planned on the left-hand side of the machine for better
operability.

3.7 Degree of Protection
−IP 55
3.8 Emissions
Noise data
Noise measurement in accordance with DIN 45635-31-01-KL3
Noise levels are significantly influenced by the properties of the sample material.
Example 1:
Sound power level LWA = 101.7 dB(A)
Workplace-related emissions value LpAeq = 89.5 dB(A)
Operating conditions :
Feed material : marble pebbles, particle size <90 mm
Set gap width: < 6 mm
Final particle size: < 10 mm
Fill level of the grinding chamber: approx. 65 %
Example 2:
Sound power level LWA = 102 dB(A)
Workplace-related emissions value LpAeq = 90 dB(A)
Operating conditions:
Feed material: quartz pebbles, particle size <55 mm
Set gap width: < 6 mm
Final particle size: < 10 mm
Fill level of the grinding chamber: approx. 65 %
CAUTION
C4.0045
Damage to hearing
A high noise level may arise depending on the type of the material, the jaws
used and the duration of grinding
−Excessive noise in terms of level and duration can cause impairments or
lasting damage to hearing.
•Suitable sound insulation measures must be provided or hearing
protection worn.

3.9 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
−EMC class in accordance with DIN EN 55011: B
3.10 Feed Grain Size
Feed size: < 350x170 mm
Final fineness: < 6 mm
3.11 Degree of hardness of the sample material
The degree of hardness of the sample material should be above 3 on the Mohs’ scale to
achieve effective grinding. The degree jaws should be harder than the sample material to
prevent increased wear on the jaws.
3.12 Gap width
The spacer plates permit a gap width adjustment of between 6 mm and approx. 60 mm:
