Stag crushers are made with jaw widths varying from about 150 mm to 1.0 m and the running speed is about 4 Hz (240 rpm) with the smaller machines running at the higher speeds. The speed of operation should not be so high that a large quantity of fines is produced as a result of material being repeatedly crushed because it cannot escape sufficiently quickly. The angle of nip, the angle between the jaws, is usually about 30◦.
Because the crushing action is intermittent, the loading on the machine is uneven and the crusher therefore incorporates a heavy flywheel. The power requirements of the crusher depend upon size and capacity and vary from 7 to about 70 kW, the latter figure corresponding to a feed rate of 10 kg/s.
