A mobile crusher is a portable machine designed to crush hard materials such as rocks, ores, construction waste, and recycling materials. Unlike stationary crushers, it is mounted on a tracked or wheeled chassis, enabling easy transportation between job sites. It plays a critical role in industries like mining, construction, and recycling.

Working Principle:
Material is fed into the crusher unit (jaw, impact, or cone) via a feeder. The crusher reduces the material to specific sizes. A screening system then classifies the crushed material by size. Conveyor belts transport materials between the crusher, screen, and storage areas.

Key Components:

  1. Crusher Unit: Options include jaw, impact, or cone crushers.

  2. Feeder: Ensures consistent material flow into the crusher.

  3. Screen: Separates crushed material into graded sizes.

  4. Conveyor Belts: Facilitate material handling.

  5. Power Source: Typically a diesel engine or external electric connection.

Applications:

  • Crushing ores in mining operations.

  • Recycling construction debris (concrete, asphalt).

  • Producing aggregates for road and dam construction.

  • Processing natural stones in quarries.

Advantages:

  • Portability: Reduces transportation costs by processing materials on-site.

  • Versatility: Adaptable to various materials and output sizes.

  • Quick Setup: Requires less time and labor compared to fixed plants.

Types:

  • Tracked Mobile Crusher: High mobility on rough terrain.

  • Wheeled Mobile Crusher: Easily transportable via roads.

  • Available with jaw, impact, or cone crusher units.
