Thor Jaw Crusher
200 mm max feed · Mohs ≤ 8 · 7″ touchscreen · up to ~150 kg/h continuous
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
Application Areas
Thor is purpose-built for primary reduction wherever geology, mining, metallurgy, or materials science workflows start with physically large or very hard specimens.
Metallurgy & process control
High-hardness ores and alloys reduced for certification, furnace feeds, and parallel QC splits.
Geology & mineralogy
Oversized rock and core for thin sections, XRD, ICP-OES/MS, and further comminution steps.
Construction materials
Clinker, limestone blocks, aggregates, and slag crushed to controlled top sizes for chemical and physical testing.
Ceramics & refractories
Pre-crushing of sintered ceramics, corundum, and oxide refractories before fine grinding.
Coal, energy & R&D
Coal and coke prep routes, plus research on very hard composites where specimen mass and hardness both run high.
Advantages & Features
Performance characteristics focused on feed capacity, hardness headroom, operator control, and line integration — what matters when every shift has to clear the sample queue.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
