Metso Nordberg C106 Jaw Crusher

The Metso Nordberg C106 Jaw Crusher is a compact, high-performance primary jaw crusher designed for aggregate quarries, recycling operations, and small-to-medium mining primary crushing circuits. With a feed opening of 1,060 × 700 mm, a stroke of 32 mm, and an installed power of 110 kW, the C106 accepts feed up to 560 mm and delivers a reduction ratio of up to 6:1 in a single pass. Its steep pitman angle — a hallmark of the Nordberg C series since its introduction — ensures aggressive nip and a fast, even material progression through the chamber, reducing recirculation loads and increasing effective throughput for a given motor size. The one-piece cast steel pitman with pressure-cast steel eccentric shaft is dimensioned for continuous 24-hour operation without fatigue.

The C106's swing jaw is manufactured from Hardox wear-resistant steel plate rather than conventional cast iron, providing superior impact resistance when processing hard, abrasive granite, basalt, and quartzite feeds common in Saudi Arabia's central and western highland regions. The jaw die fixing system uses wedge clamps that can be tightened or released with standard workshop tools in under two hours, enabling rapid liner change-outs during scheduled maintenance windows and minimising planned-downtime costs. Metso's MX jaw die material — a patented manganese steel alloy with improved work-hardening properties — extends die service life by up to 25% compared to standard manganese dies, reducing cost per tonne crushed.

In Saudi Arabia, the C106 is a staple of the quarrying and construction aggregates sector. Small and medium quarry operators supplying road base, concrete sand, and crushed stone to the residential and commercial construction boom in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province rely on the C106 for reliable, low-cost primary crushing. Saudi contractors working on NEOM package contracts and the Riyadh urban expansion have deployed C106 units in semi-portable crushing configurations close to construction sites to reduce aggregate haulage distances and material cost. Saudi Binladin Group and NESMA & Partners, two of the Kingdom's largest construction contractors, have both operated fleets of Metso jaw crushers in in-situ aggregate production setups for Vision 2030 infrastructure projects.

Razz Middle East distributes the C106 and holds OEM-genuine jaw dies, toggle plates, cheek plates, and toggle seat assemblies in local stock for overnight delivery across Saudi Arabia. We offer turnkey installation, commissioning, and operator training for new C106 installations and can arrange crusher condition assessment visits for existing units requiring optimisation.
