A crusher plant is a stationary or mobile facility that mechanically breaks down large rocks or stones into aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed stone). It is designed to standardize material sizes for use in construction, mining, and road-building sectors.

How Does It Work?

  • Primary Crushing: Jaw crushers or impact crushers reduce large rock blocks to 100-300 mm.

  • Secondary Crushing: Cone crushers or tertiary impact crushers further reduce material to 20-50 mm.

  • Screening: Vibrating screens classify crushed material by size (0-5 mm, 5-15 mm, 15-25 mm).

  • Conveying: Conveyor belts transport processed material within the plant or to storage areas.

Purpose:

  • Aggregate production (concrete, asphalt, railway ballast).

  • Ore preparation in mining.

  • Recycling (reusing concrete or asphalt waste).

Applications:

  • Construction (buildings, bridges, dams).

  • Road and railway infrastructure.

  • Quarries and mining sites.

2. What is a Mobile Crusher?
A mobile crusher is a portable version of crushing and screening equipment mounted on a chassis. It offers flexibility and quick setup compared to stationary plants.

How Does It Work?

  • Portable Chassis: Operates on crawlers or wheels for easy mobility.

  • Integrated Systems: Combines a jaw crusher, screen, conveyor, and generator into a single unit.

  • Remote Control: Some models feature autonomous operation.

Purpose:

  • Provides rapid solutions for confined spaces or temporary projects.

  • Processes materials directly at the source.

  • Reduces transportation costs.

Applications:

  • On-site aggregate production at construction sites.

  • Recycling demolition waste.

  • Mobile processing in mining areas.

3. What is a Conveyor Belt?
A conveyor belt is a mechanical system used to transport materials continuously over horizontal or inclined surfaces. It consists of a rubber, PVC, or steel belt supported by rollers.

How Does It Work?

  • Motor and Drum: A motor-driven drum moves the belt.

  • Rollers: Reduce friction and support the belt during material transport.

  • Load Distribution: Material is evenly spread on the belt for efficient transfer.

Purpose:

  • Minimizes manual labor and downtime.

  • Safely transports heavy or dusty materials.

Applications:

  • Mines and quarries.

  • Factories (food, cement, chemicals).

  • Airport baggage handling systems.

  • Logistics warehouses.
