Overview

The Vector VTR-1011-XL Thor is a continuous-feed, heavy-duty primary jaw crusher for laboratories and industrial sample-prep lines that routinely see large lumps, hard rock, and high daily throughput — exploration cores, run-of-mine fragments, clinker, and refractory ceramics before milling, splitting, or assay.

A 300 × 450 mm jaw accepts feed up to about 200 mm in maximum dimension, with stepless gap 0–30 mm and practical output down to about 1 mm so many workflows stay on a single primary stage. Throughput reaches about 150 kg/h under continuous operation; a 5.5 kW drive delivers torque for materials up to Mohs hardness 8, with jam detection and automatic reverse-clear. Operator control uses a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen HMI for stored crush profiles and live status, with a dedicated start/stop, front-access emergency stop, and an optional automatic sample splitter for subsampling without stopping the crusher. The machine is built for CE machinery expectations — safety-critical functions are implemented in hardware independent of the HMI — and supports aggregate and rock sample-prep chains where practices such as ASTM D75/C702 are used before chemical assay, grindability, or construction-materials tests.

At a glance

200 mm class feed envelope — large core and ROM-style lumps without pre-breaking

~1 mm minimum product (material and gap dependent) — primary through near-secondary in one machine

~150 kg/h continuous throughput for shift-scale campaigns

5.5 kW drive — Mohs ≤ 8 capability with jam detect & auto clear

7″ touchscreen HMI + physical start/stop + E-stop

CE machinery design — safety-critical functions in hardware

200 mm

Largest feed in the Vector jaw range

Load large core sections and coarse fragments directly — reducing manual breaking and secondary transfers compared with compact jaw units.

0–30 mm

Stepless gap, ~1 mm product floor

Continuous gap setting from 0–30 mm supports coarse primary work through finer passes so ball mills and ring mills see a controlled top size.

150 kg/h

Continuous throughput

Designed for steady feeder-style operation at up to about 150 kg/h — suited to exploration prep halls, assay support, and industrial QC lanes.

5.5 kW

Torque for Mohs ≤ 8

Hard ores, quartz-rich rocks, refractory ceramics, and high-strength alloys within the stated hardness band — with jam detection and automatic reverse-clear to limit overload trips.

7″ HMI

Profiles & diagnostics at the machine

Capacitive touchscreen for stored crush profiles, gap-related settings, and status; separate tactile start/stop and always-reachable emergency stop alongside software controls.

Split

Optional automatic splitter

Representative subsampling of the discharge without stopping crushing — duplicate, reject, and referee splits for high-throughput analytical programmes.

When a standard lab jaw is no longer enough

Most bench and floor laboratory jaw crushers are limited to roughly 50–110 mm maximum feed. That is adequate for many QC routes — but not when oversized drill core, coarse ROM fragments, or hard refractory pieces arrive straight from the field and would otherwise need hand-breaking or an extra pre-crush step.

Large single-pass envelope — up to ~200 mm feed versus ~90 mm on the Vector Nysos, so fewer handling steps before the same downstream mills and presses.

Hard-material headroom — 5.5 kW drive and geometry aimed at sustained duty on materials up to Mohs 8 where smaller drives risk stall or accelerated wear.

Automation-friendly — stored profiles on the HMI, jam-aware motor control, and an optional automatic splitter align Thor with high-throughput exploration and assay lines.
