The jaw crushers may be a component of a crushing and screening plant. The plant must be set up on firm level ground and as near as possible to the source of material to be processed and positioned so the conveyors may expel the processed aggregate to the desired location for stockpiling or hauling. A typical crushing and screening plant layout where the jaw crusher may be utilized as a component. The positions of the various components may be changed as required. For example, only the final discharge conveyor is absolutely necessary to operation; the remaining three components indicated are illustrated only where the conveyors can be used at the discretion of the operator and crew. The power source can be either a generator set that will meet the requirements or powerline current.
