MEET THE A-SERIES: ASTEC A50 JAW CRUSHER SETS NEW STANDARD FOR MOBILE CRUSHING
Astec Industries has officially launched the all-new Astec A50 Jaw Crusher, marking the debut of its A-Series portable jaw plant line. Purpose-built for high-production crushing in demanding environments, the A50 blends Astec’s proven crushing technology with smarter design for safety, transportability, and field performance.
If you’re in aggregates, demolition recycling, or large-scale site development, the Astec A50 Jaw Crusher offers serious capacity, fast setup, and modern features that can help your operation crush more while moving less.
Astec A50 Jaw Crusher: Built to Crush. Designed to Move.
The Astec A-Series Jaw Crushers represent the next generation of crushing technology. Built on the proven strengths of legacy Pioneer®, Telsmith®, and Osborn, the A-Series delivers the durability, reliability, and performance you expect from Astec — in a modern, streamlined jaw crusher platform. Engineered for versatility, the A-Series is adaptable to mobile, portable, and stationary configurations, making it a powerful solution across a wide range of crushing applications.
Introducing the A-Series Jaw Plants
The A50 is the first model in Astec’s next-generation A-Series platform—designed from the ground up around five key pillars: safety, simplicity, serviceability, transportability, and production.
Compared to older jaw plant platforms, the A50 offers a lighter footprint, updated structural design, and optimized power-to-weight ratio—all while packing up to 330 tons per hour (TPH) of crushing capacity.
This isn’t just a model refresh—it’s a complete rethinking of how portable crushing equipment is built, serviced, and moved from site to site.
