Mobile Crusher Types and Mobile Crusher Overview


A mobile crusher is a type of crusher machine used for crushing materials at various sites without the need for permanent infrastructure. It is mainly used in the construction, mining, and recycling industries. A mobile crusher can be either a stationary or mobile unit. A mobile crusher moves along a certain route or on tracks, which makes it ideal for working in remote or difficult-to-reach areas. It offers flexibility, high efficiency, and ease of transportation. Mobile crushers are often combined with other equipment, such as screens, conveyors, and feeders, to create a complete crushing system for large-scale material processing.

There are different types of mobile crushers, each designed for specific tasks:

  1. Mobile Jaw Crushers:

    • These are the most commonly used crushers for primary crushing tasks. A mobile jaw crusher consists of a stationary jaw and a moving jaw. When the material is fed into the crushing chamber, the moving jaw pushes the material towards the stationary jaw, resulting in crushing.

    • Advantages: High production capacity, ease of transportation, high mobility.

  2. Mobile Cone Crushers:

    • These crushers use a rotating cone to crush materials. They are mainly used for secondary and tertiary crushing. The material is fed into the crusher, and as the cone rotates, the material is crushed against the inner walls of the cone.

    • Advantages: Great for finer material production, less wear on the crushing parts compared to jaw crushers.

  3. Mobile Impact Crushers:

    • These crushers are used for crushing materials with high impact force. They are ideal for recycling and processing construction debris. The impact crusher breaks materials by striking them with a high-speed rotor.

    • Advantages: Excellent for processing materials such as concrete and asphalt.

  4. Mobile Screening Plants:

    • These plants are used to separate and classify materials based on size. They typically work in conjunction with crushers to separate crushed material into different sizes, which can then be processed further or sold.

    • Advantages: Enhances productivity by enabling better sorting and processing of materials.

  5. Mobile VSI Crushers (Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers):

    • These crushers are mainly used for producing sand and fine aggregates. They are efficient in producing high-quality manufactured sand.

    • Advantages: Ideal for creating high-quality sand and fine aggregates for concrete.

Key Benefits of Mobile Crushers:

  • Flexibility: Mobile crushers can be moved to different sites, which is advantageous in projects requiring frequent site changes.

  • Cost-effective: By eliminating the need for transportation of raw materials to fixed plants, mobile crushers reduce logistical costs.

  • Environmental Impact: Mobile crushers can work on-site, minimizing the need for material transport, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
