Jaw crusher for large feed sizes with high throughput
Handle large feed sizes with a jaw crusher that offers a robust solution for high-throughput material reduction, ideal for demanding pre-crushing tasks across diverse applications.

Crushes and Reduces Size of Tough Materials
The Jaw Crusher BB 600 XL from Retsch is a robust solution tailored for demanding pre-crushing operations in various industries. Designed with a wedge-shaped crushing chamber, it efficiently grinds medium-hard to hard, brittle, and tough materials, including ores, ceramics, and construction materials, achieving particle sizes as fine as 6 mm. Ideal for applications that require batch or continuous processing, it accommodates large feed dimensions up to 350 x 170 mm, boasting a throughput capacity of up to 3,500 kg/h. Equipped with a stepless gap width setting from 6 to 60 mm, it offers precision in size reduction. This crusher integrates seamlessly into existing production lines thanks to its compact design and optional process line version, fitting in installations with limited space. Constructed with materials like manganese steel and NiHard4, it ensures durability and optional heavy-metal-free grinding. The BB 600 XL’s ergonomic features include overload protection, a 30-liter collecting receptacle, a removable hopper with splash-back protection, and no-rebound hopper for safe operation. Additionally, it operates with a 15 kW three-phase motor, supporting various voltages and complying with CE standards for industrial safety requirements, making it a reliable choice for construction materials manufacturers, mining companies, and metallurgical industries.
