Mining & mineral processing
Primary crushing of drill core, ROM ore, and concentrate splits before ring mills, disc mills, or bottle rolls — preparing material for XRF, ICP, fire assay, or AAS.
Vector VTR-1011 Nysos — heavy-duty laboratory jaw crusher with up to 300 kg/h throughput, 45:1 crushing ratio, stepless 0–30 mm gap, and interchangeable manganese, stainless, or tungsten carbide jaws for contamination-aware sample prep.
Overview
The Vector VTR-1011 Nysos jaw crusher is a floor-standing primary crusher for laboratories and industrial sample-prep lines that need repeatable coarse reduction before milling, pulverising, XRF pellet pressing, fusion, or digestion.
It accepts feed up to 90 mm, delivers up to about 300 kg/h throughput depending on material, and offers a stepless gap from 0–30 mm with wear compensation and zero-point adjustment so output size stays consistent over the service life of the jaws. Three jaw material options — manganese steel, stainless steel, and tungsten carbide — let you align the crusher with your analytical sensitivity, from routine bulk reduction to trace-element work where metallic carryover must stay minimal.
A jaw crusher sits at the front of almost every hard-sample workflow: uniform primary crushing improves efficiency downstream and helps ensure test data reflects the true bulk material. The Nysos combines that role with a CE-marked safety concept, a cleanable crushing chamber, wide-gap geometry to limit bridging, and an integrated dust-extraction port for safer, neater operation.
At a glance
- 90 mm max feed size — primary reduction for cores, ores, and aggregates
- 300 kg/h typical throughput capacity (material dependent)
- 45:1 nominal crushing ratio
- 0–30 mm stepless gap — jaw opening adjustable down to about 1 mm for finer passes
- Three jaw materials — Mn steel, stainless steel, or tungsten carbide
- CE machinery conformity for European safety expectations

Nysos is supplied as CE-marked machinery in line with European safety requirements for laboratory and industrial crushing equipment. Where your quality system references specific test methods, pair the crusher with the appropriate preparation and analytical standards from our library.
Industries & applications
From exploration geology to process QC, the Nysos supports first-stage reduction wherever hard or brittle inorganic samples enter the laboratory chain.
Metallurgy & process control
Coarse reduction of slag, ferro-alloys, sinters, and process intermediates ahead of fine grinding or automated splits for batch certification.
Construction materials
Cement clinker, limestone, aggregates, and masonry waste reduced to a controlled top size for Blaine, calorimetry, or chemical QC routes.
Geology & ceramics
Rock and core samples, ceramics, glass cullet, and oxide powders prepared for petrography, XRD, or further comminution in vibratory mills.
Coal & environmental
Coke, coal, industrial residues, and solid environmental samples crushed to a manageable top size before grinding or leaching steps.
Education & R&D
Teaching size reduction, throughput, and gap-setting concepts on a robust floor unit that mirrors industrial practice while staying laboratory-manageable.
Key features
Engineered for duty-cycle crushing with operator safety, analytical flexibility, and straightforward maintenance.
Material compatibility
Hard, medium-hard, and brittle inorganics — ores, quartz, limestone, granite, slag, clinker, coal, ceramics, and more — in one platform instead of juggling multiple dedicated crushers.
Stepless gap adjustment
Continuous gap setting from 0–30 mm with wear compensation and zero-point readjustment so particle size distribution stays stable as jaws wear in service.
High throughput
Continuous-duty motorisation and a 5 L discharge collector suit both single-sample work and higher-volume batch campaigns with minimal changeover time.
Interchangeable jaws
Manganese steel for abrasion resistance, stainless steel for iron-sensitive or hygiene-conscious streams, tungsten carbide when trace-element blanks from steel jaws are unacceptable.
Contamination-aware design
Accessible crushing chamber for brushing and air purge between runs, geometry that limits bridging, and a dust-extraction connection to capture fines and improve workplace hygiene.
Robust frame
Reinforced steel frame and a 2.2 kW drive sized for sustained operation; wear parts are field-replaceable to keep downtime predictable.
Contamination control & downstream accuracy
Primary crushing sets the particle distribution that disc mills, pulverisers, and presses inherit. When that first stage is inconsistent, variability propagates into XRF, ICP, fire assay, and fusion results — not only through size effects but also through trace contamination from wear debris.
Geometry & cleaning — wide-gap layout and an easy-to-clean chamber reduce retention and carryover between consecutive samples.
Jaw selection — switch to stainless or tungsten carbide jaws when manganese or carbon steel backgrounds would interfere with the elements you report.
Trace work — tungsten carbide is the usual choice for sensitive trace protocols; avoid it when tungsten or cobalt in the sample matrix is itself an analyte of interest.
Jaw material selection
Match the jaw insert to your material abrasiveness and to the elements that must stay background-free in the next analytical step.
Manganese steel
Default choice for ores, slag, coal, and clinker where throughput and wear life matter more than a manganese contribution to the matrix.
Stainless steel
For streams where iron or manganese pick-up from standard steel would skew results — pharmaceutical intermediates, food-adjacent minerals, and controlled QC lanes.
Tungsten carbide
Lowest practical metallic contamination from the jaws themselves; preferred for many XRF and ICP preparation routes when W/Co in the specimen is not a target analyte.
