A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening unit mounted on tracks or wheels, used for conveniently processing rocks, concrete, asphalt, and similar materials on-site. Commonly deployed in road, bridge, tunnel, quarry, and recycling site applications, it begins with material feeding into a primary jaw or impact crusher, followed by secondary crushing and screening to separate products by size. Conveyors transport the different aggregates to stockpiles. Its mobility enables fast deployment and efficient operations across various project sites.

2. Stationary Crusher

A stationary crusher plant is a fixed installation on reinforced concrete foundations, designed for high-capacity and continuous crushing in quarry and mining operations. Material is loaded into a jaw crusher, reduced in size, transferred to secondary crushers, and screened into specific aggregate grades. The process is fully automated, benefiting from high production throughput and long-term reliability. It requires permanent infrastructure but offers exceptional operational efficiency.

3. Differences

Mobile crushers offer site mobility and flexible deployment, while stationary crushers remain fixed. Setup time for mobile crushers is in hours, but stationary systems require foundation and extensive infrastructure, taking days or weeks to establish. Stationary plants typically have much higher capacity. Although mobile crushers may cost more per unit, their redeployability provides strategic value. Stationary crushers are more cost-effective for long-term, high-volume production, while mobile systems are ideal for short-term or changing job sites.

4. Gravel Crushing and Screening Plant

A gravel crushing and screening plant processes natural pebble and gravel materials into uniform aggregate sizes for use in construction or landscaping. Material enters a primary jaw crusher, followed by secondary and tertiary crushing if needed. Vibrating screens sort the material into fine gravel, coarse gravel, and crushed stone. Conveyors move the output to storage or packaging areas. This setup enables precise grading of materials for use in roads, concrete, asphalt, drainage layers, decorative applications, and underwater fill.
