A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening unit mounted on tracks or wheels, designed to crush hard materials like rock, concrete, or asphalt. It is highly suitable for on‑site operations in construction sites, tunnels, road and barrages, and recycling plants. Material is introduced via a vibrating feeder and initially processed by a jaw or impact crusher. The secondary crusher further reduces particle size to the desired level before the material is screened into graded products. Conveyor belts transport final outputs. Mobility enables efficient redeployment across multiple locations.

2. Stationary Crusher

Stationary crusher installations are anchored on concrete foundations and built for high‑capacity, long‑term operations in mining and quarry sites. Automation systems are easily integrated due to their fixed structure. Crushing involves primary jaw crushers, followed by secondary impact or cone crushers. Screening units classify the material into aggregates of specified sizes, which are then conveyed to stockpiles. These units offer durability, high throughput, and cost‑optimized operation over time.

3. Differences Between Mobile and Stationary Crushers

Regarding mobility, a mobile crusher can be relocated to any job site, while a stationary crusher remains fixed. Mobile units can be set up in hours; stationary plants may require days to weeks for foundation preparation. Stationary crushers typically deliver higher throughput capacities. In terms of investment, mobile crushers involve higher unit costs but offer redeployment advantages; stationary plants are more cost‑efficient for long‑term projects. Operational usage differs: mobile units suit temporary or dynamic worksites; stationary systems are ideal for permanent, large-scale projects.

4. Cone Crusher

A cone crusher is a third-stage crushing unit designed for high-strength rock such as granite and basalt. Employing a combination of compression and shear, it delivers high efficiency and shape precision. Material is fed into the upper cavity, compressed between a fixed outer shell and a rotating inner mantle. As the mantle gyrates, the rock fractures and exits beneath as finely crushed, uniform aggregates. Cone crushers are used extensively in infrastructure projects, high-grade asphalt and concrete plants, and road construction where well-shaped aggregates are crucial.
