Trend among South‑American Copper Mines: Upgrading Jaw Plates and Moving Away From Old‑Specification Standard Parts (June 2026, mining media)

As ore grades decline at South‑American copper‑gold mines, larger volumes of ore need to be processed, which places heavier loads on jaw crushers. Wear rates of conventional standard jaw plates have increased by 30‑40%.
Mines are adopting the following upgrades:
  1. Upgrade to higher‑grade Mn22Cr2 high‑manganese steel;
  2. Apply titanium‑carbide‑inserted jaw plates for 2‑4 times longer service life;
  3. Custom‑design tooth profiles according to ore characteristics;
  4. Adopt laser scanning for wear monitoring, replacing parts based on actual wear condition instead of fixed time intervals.
