hey guys my name is Jason with Mount Baker mining metals and I'm going to do a Will It
Crush video today through one of our 6x10 jaw Crushers so I've got these samples laid
out here I wanted to go through them with you real quick we're going to start over here
with concrete this stuff makes great bass for driveways roadways trails that sort of
thing this is granite countertop scrap and a lot of our customers will buy jaw Crushers
take this waste product that they're paying to get rid of crush it up and sell it for
gravel and Decorative Stone the next one is these quarries balls these have been shot
from a local Quarry and gone through a Crusher already so we'll see if our Crusher can make
them a little bit smaller the next one is I've got about three quarters of a bucket
of rounded River Rock This is a mix of all sorts of different stuff Granite Basalt metamorphic
rocks these are really quite hard because as they're rolling down the river only the
hardest rock is the stuff that's left over so we'll see how this goes these next two
samples I'm pretty excited about this is a quartz gold ore it's really hard on the Mohs
hardness scale so we'll see if it'll Crush through our jaw Crusher and then this last
one here I've got three or four Jade Boulders that we're going to see if our little 6x10
jaw Crusher can Crush these aren't quite as hard as the quartz on the Mohs hardness scale
but they're extremely tough so this might be the hardest rock I've ever crushed through
our jaw Crusher we'll see how it goes now be sure to stick around till the end because
I've got a few surprises for you at the end of the video here's our 6x10 jaw Crusher we're
going to use to crush up our samples today I'll pour the rocks in this feed Hopper they're
going to work their way down through these Jaws here get crushed and fall out the bottom
as crushed rock and gravel into that black tub this unit is run by a three-phase electric
motor we also sell them as a gas option or a no motor option but that's one of the things
I wanted to talk to you about later in the video is we're coming out with a fourth option
for you and I want to get your input on it thank you [Music]
[Music] here's our concrete Crush down I've got it set on the finest setting so this is
about as fine as a 6x10 will crush and a little later in the video we'll open it up but look
at that beautiful beautiful aggregate great looking stuff
[Music] foreign [Music]
[Laughter] so here's our Granite I've sorted it by color so the White and the black but
now watch what happens when you wash all the dust off of it
now you can really see the color difference [Music] um
[Music]
here's our chorus Falls a huge huge majority this is under half inch this would make beautiful
Trail gravel or gravel for your driveway some gorgeous stuff but now on the next samples
I'm going to open the Jaws up and we'll crush a little coarser so you can see the crusher
make of course your product
[Music] thank you
so here's the river rock and there's some Granite here's some quartzite here's some
Basalt so it crushed it up I think I had the jaws open maybe a little bit too much for
the size of rock because some of them just fell right through it's but you can see we
can get up to about a two or two and a half inch crush with this small little jaw Crusher
and it crushes even these nice hard River Rocks but now let's get to the two most exciting
ones the Jade and the quartz now I want to take a little bit closer look at this quartz
ore because if you're a follower of the channel this is the stuff that I flew off the Mountainside
here about six months ago and a lot of you guys have been asking me emailing me when
this is going to get crushed and processed well the answer is soon I'm working on it
but I wanted to show you how it works through the jaw Crusher first so let's see if we can
crush it down to two inch minus
[Music]
a lot of stuff crushed up just like butter through the jaw Crusher and you may notice
it goes way way faster when the Jaws are open and you get a bigger coarser Crush but now
let's get on to the Jade here's the Jade we're going to be crushing this is nephrite Jade
and I actually found this on the freezer with Dan Hurd here a couple months back and so
we're going to be crushing this up and I want to talk real quick about the difference between
hardness and toughness so like I said earlier quartz is very hard it's like a seven on the
Mohs hardness scale and it scratches so the quartz would actually scratch this Jade because
it's harder but the Jade is way way tougher all these little mineral grains they're like
fibers they interlock and so it makes it really really tough so we'll see if we can get through
this stuff crush it down into that two inch minus pieces I'm going to be interesting to
see what this looks like on a fresh face because this has all been rolled down the river and
so I want to see a nice fresh face of it
[Music]
here's our crushed Jade pieces and they came out pretty nice but boy were they hard holy
smokes that's probably the hardest thing I've ever crushed my jaw Crusher before and I wanted
to show you these pieces these are some I got wet so you could really see kind of the
character of them look how pretty green they are the inside of that one got all sorts of
different green color so really really cool stuff but it is very tough so I wanted to
mention real quick that we've been getting a lot of emails and phone calls on guys interested
in running our small 6x10 or 8 by 12 jaw Crusher off of PTO and the good news is is we're working
on that right now so if you're interested in a PTO run unit give us a call or shoot
us an email well I don't want this crushed Jade to go to waste it's it's too cool to
just spread in the driveway so what I've done is I've I have two bags here I have a bag
that's made up of a little bit coarser pieces with no fines and then I have a bag over here
that has also quite a few course pieces but this is where all the fines went and then
I had one rock that I've got wet now but it snuck through the jaw Crusher without getting
crushed so here we go of course Jade is approximately 14 pounds this stuff would be great for tumbling
and then here's the other bag of the Jade with the fines weighs a little more at 17
pounds also good for tumbling or whatever else you're going to do with the fine Jade
chips and then this little palm Stone here weighs a couple pounds we'll list him separate
I'm going to put it on eBay so check out the links in the description in addition to the
Jade bags I wanted to put two bags of the gold or out for sale if you want to be part
of part of crazy helicopter Adventure that I'm going on now is your chance there's some
really nice pieces in there if you have a saw you could slab them up and look for gold
that way or you could just crush them down pan it out and see if there's gold in there
and you will know it before anybody else including myself if I've struck it rich or I broke my
pick on this helicopter project that wraps up our Will It Crush video and as you can
see the jaw Crusher really didn't have any problem crushing any of the things I threw
at it including the nephrite Jade which is probably the hardest stuff I've ever put through
my Crusher so I've got a challenge for you guys if you have a rock you think is harder
than nephrite Jade shoot me an email and we'll see if we can get a sample out here and we'll
see if it'll Crush through our jaw Crusher if you want more information on that PTO dry
Crusher we're developing shoot us an email or give us a call so thanks for watching and
we'll see on the next video
