A tracked crusher is a heavy-duty mobile crushing machine used in quarries, mining operations, construction projects, and recycling facilities. With its tracked mobility system, it can easily move across rough, muddy, rocky, or inclined terrains. It provides a major advantage in areas where access to stationary crushing plants is difficult, allowing materials to be crushed and processed on-site.

These machines are primarily used to break down large and hard materials into smaller pieces. For example, in road construction projects, rocks and stone blocks can be crushed by tracked crushers to produce filling material. In railway construction, large stones are processed into suitable sizes to meet durability requirements. In mining, extracted hard rocks or ores are crushed to prepare them for further processing. In urban areas, concrete and asphalt debris from demolished buildings can be crushed and recycled for new construction projects.

Tracked crushers offer different advantages depending on the type of crusher used.

  • Jaw crushers: Ideal for compressing and breaking large, hard rocks. Commonly used in mining and quarries.
  • Impact crushers: Apply high-speed impact forces to shatter materials. Often used in recycling plants and asphalt crushing.
  • Cone crushers: Suitable for finer crushing processes, typically used in secondary crushing stages.

The working principle of a tracked crusher starts with the material being fed into the feeding unit. The feeder directs the material in a controlled manner to the crushing unit, where mechanical impact, compression, or shearing forces break it down. The crushed material is then transported to the desired area via an output conveyor. These processed materials are utilized in filling, concrete production, infrastructure works, and reconstruction projects.
