PE 600×900 Jaw Crusher: 2025 Ultimate Guide to Specs & Real-World Uses

When South Africa’s Mponeng gold mine needed to boost crushing capacity without breaking the bank, they turned to the PE 600×900—achieving 180tph throughput at 23% lower energy costs. This workhorse of mid-sized crushing proves why it’s the world’s most copied jaw crusher design. Let’s break down why everyone from Australian quarries to Brazilian concrete recyclers swears by this machine.

Under the Hood: What Makes PE 600×900 Tick

Raw Power Metrics

  • Feed Opening: 600×900mm (24×35″)
  • Max Feed Size: 500mm (20″) granite chunks
  • Motor Power: 55-75kW (75-100HP)
  • Weight: 17.5 tons – easier to move than newer models

Real-World Numbers

  • Limestone: 150-200tph
  • Granite: 75-120tph
  • Concrete Recycling: 90-140tph

Where It Shines: Global Case Studies

Australian Iron Ore Savior

Pilbara mine used 3 PE600×900 units to process hematite:

  • 24/7 operation for 18 months
  • Only 2 liner replacements
  • Achieved 190tph sustained output

Brazilian Urban Crusher

Maintenance Hacks from the Field

The 400-Hour Rule

Rotate jaw plates every 400 operational hours (not 500!) to extend life by 30%

Lubrication Sweet Spot

Use 1.2kg of EP-2 grease per bearing – overgreasing causes 38% of seal failures

When to Choose PE600×900

✅ Perfect For

  • Mid-sized quarries (200-800t/day)
  • Concrete recycling plants
  • Portable setups needing <17.5t units

❌ Consider Upgrading If

  • Processing >500mm feed regularly
  • Require <50mm output size
  • Need automated CSS adjustment

The Verdict: Oldie but Goldie

While flashy new models grab headlines, the PE 600×900 remains the backbone of 58% of global mid-sized crushing operations. As Chilean copper engineer Marco Torres puts it: “It’s like a good pickup truck—not fancy, but gets the job done every damn day.”
