Construction, quarrying, mining, and recycling projects often deal with large rocks and hard materials. These materials need to be broken into smaller pieces before they can be used in the next part of the work.
This is where jaw crushers are useful. A jaw crusher is a primary crushing machine. It uses a fixed jaw and a moving jaw to break large rocks into smaller pieces. The smaller material can then move to the next stage of the crushing process. Galadari Trucks & Heavy Equipment (GTHE) offers Metso Nordberg C Series jaw crushers for construction, mining, quarrying, and recycling work in the UAE.
Many UAE projects need a regular supply of crushed materials. Quarry sites need to process natural rock. Construction projects need aggregates. Demolition work can create concrete that needs to be processed and recycled.
A jaw crusher can be used at the first stage of these jobs. It takes large feed material and reduces it to a smaller size.
The Metso Nordberg C Series includes four models:
The models are made for different feed sizes, production needs, and project requirements.
Quarrying is one of the main applications for jaw crushers. A quarry can produce large pieces of rock that cannot be used directly. These rocks first need to be crushed.
A jaw crusher is often used as the first machine in the crushing process. It breaks the large rocks into smaller pieces. The material can then move to another crusher or a screen.
These jaw crushers can be used with materials such as:
This makes jaw crushers useful for different quarry and aggregate applications.
These machines are not suited to wet, sticky, or clay-heavy materials. Material type should therefore be checked before choosing a crusher.
Crushed rock is an important material for construction work. It can be used to make aggregates for different projects.
Large rocks usually need to pass through a crushing process before they reach the required size. A jaw crusher helps with the first step.
A jaw crusher machine can take large feed material and break it down using compressive force between the fixed and moving jaw. The output depends on the machine model, material, and CSS setting.
After primary crushing, the material can move to another stage. GTHE also offers Metso cone crushers, impact crushers, VSI crushers, and screens as part of its wider crushing and screening range.
This allows a crushing plant to be built around the needs of the project.
Demolition work can create large amounts of concrete and other materials. Suitable concrete can be crushed and processed as recycled aggregate.
Demolition concrete and recycled aggregates can also be processed with these jaw crushers, making them useful for suitable recycling work.
The basic process is simple:
This makes jaw crushers useful for recycling work where large pieces need to be reduced before further processing.
Jaw crushers are also used in mining applications. The GTHE page lists iron ore and copper ore among the materials that can be processed by the Metso jaw crusher range.
Mining sites may receive large pieces of material that need to be reduced before further processing. Primary crushing helps prepare the material for the next stage.
The size of the crusher should match the feed size and the amount of material that needs to be processed. A larger operation may need a larger model, while a smaller project may need a lower-capacity machine.
Road and construction projects need materials in controlled sizes. Large rocks cannot always be used as they are.
Jaw crushers help reduce large material at the start of the process. The crushed material can then be screened or sent to another crusher.
After primary crushing, cone crushers can reduce the material further. Inclined screens can then separate the crushed material into different sizes. Mobile screens can also be used when screening needs to be more flexible.
A simple crushing process may look like this:
Large rock → Jaw crusher → Further crushing → Screening → Required material
The exact setup depends on the material and the required output.
Some quarry and mining projects need to process a large amount of material. In such cases, a larger jaw crusher can be considered.
The Nordberg C150 STD and C160 STD are the larger models in this range. The C150 is rated at 300 hp, while the C160 is rated at 350 hp.
The C Series range gives businesses different options based on feed size and production requirements.

Together, these four models provide different options for primary crushing, based on feed size and production needs.
Choosing a crusher starts with understanding the project. One machine may not be right for every site.
Here are the main things to check:
Look at the size of the material entering the crusher. The feed size should match the jaw opening of the selected model.
Check the type of material you need to crush. Suitable materials include granite, basalt, quartzite, iron ore, copper ore, limestone, sandstone, river gravel, demolition concrete, and recycled aggregates. Wet, sticky, and clay-heavy materials are not suitable.
Think about how much material you need to crush. Capacity is measured in TPH, which means tons per hour. The output can change depending on the model, material hardness, and CSS setting.
Some projects need a fixed crushing setup. Others may need equipment that can move between work areas. The project layout should be considered before selecting the equipment.
When looking for a jaw crusher for sale, it is important to look at more than the machine itself. The right model should match the material, feed size, production target, and site needs.
A jaw crusher is often the first step in a larger crushing process. The material can move to other Metso equipment after primary crushing.
A complete crushing setup can also include:
The right combination depends on the material and the final product needed.
Jaw crusher capacity is not the same for every machine. GTHE gives general ranges based on crusher size.
Small jaw crushers can produce around 50–150 TPH. Mid-range models can produce around 150–400 TPH. Large jaw crushers can produce around 400–1,000+ TPH.
The actual output can change. Material hardness and the CSS setting both affect capacity. For example, harder materials such as granite can give lower throughput than limestone.
This is why the expected feed and production target should be discussed before selecting a machine.
