A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening plant mounted on wheels or tracks. It is used to reduce large rocks, concrete, or asphalt into smaller aggregate sizes suitable for construction. These units are commonly used in quarries, construction sites, roadworks, and demolition operations.

The system includes a feeder, a primary crusher (typically jaw or impact), secondary crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor belts. The material enters through the feeder, is initially crushed, and then refined in subsequent crushing stages. It is then sorted via vibrating screens and transported via conveyors to stockpiles.

Applications:

  • Highway and bridge construction

  • Quarry and mining operations

  • Urban redevelopment and demolition

  • Aggregate production

  • Asphalt and concrete batching plants

What is a Stationary Crusher? How Does It Work and Where is It Used?

A stationary crusher plant is a fixed installation, typically built on reinforced concrete foundations. It is designed for continuous operation at high volumes and is suitable for long-term, high-capacity crushing operations.

The system involves jaw crushers, secondary impact or cone crushers, screening equipment, and conveyor systems. Materials are reduced in size step by step, with precise screening and separation at each stage. Automation ensures operational efficiency and high production consistency.

Applications:

  • Large-scale quarry operations

  • Industrial-scale mining

  • Concrete and asphalt mixing plants

  • Permanent construction facilities

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

  1. Mobility: Mobile crushers are portable; stationary ones are fixed.

  2. Setup Time: Mobile units can be deployed quickly, while stationary units require civil work.

  3. Capacity: Stationary plants generally support higher throughput.

  4. Investment Strategy: Stationary units suit long-term projects; mobile ones are ideal for short-term and variable sites.

  5. Automation and Control: Stationary plants offer better automation and lower operating costs.

What is a Gravel Crushing Plant? How Does It Work and Where is It Used?

A gravel crushing plant processes natural gravel or pebble stones into controlled-size aggregates for use in various industries. The plant breaks down raw stones and classifies them according to size.

Gravel is first sent to a primary jaw crusher, where it is crushed. Then, secondary and possibly tertiary crushers refine the size further. Vibrating screens classify the output by size. Conveyors then transfer the material to storage.

Applications:

  • Road substructure and fill

  • Concrete production

  • Landscaping and garden use

  • Decorative stone layers

  • Drainage and filtration beds
