A mobile crushing and screening plant, also known as a mobile crusher, is a portable facility designed for crushing and screening materials. Unlike stationary crushing plants, mobile crushers are mounted on wheeled or tracked chassis, allowing them to be easily transported to different job sites. This flexibility makes them ideal for construction, mining, and recycling projects.

Working Principle:

  1. Mobility: Mobile crushers can be easily transported by truck or trailer to different job sites. This is particularly advantageous for temporary projects or situations where work needs to be done at multiple locations.

  2. Crushing Process: Mobile crushers can be equipped with different types of crushers, such as jaw crushers, impact crushers, cone crushers, or vertical shaft impactors. These crushers break down large rocks, ores, or construction waste into smaller, usable sizes.

  3. Screening Process: The crushed materials are classified by size using mobile screening systems. Screens can be vibrating or rotary types, designed to produce materials of different sizes.

  4. Transport and Feeding: Mobile crushers are equipped with belt conveyors or feeders that transport materials to the crusher and then to the screening system or storage area after crushing.

  5. Power and Control: Mobile crushers can operate using diesel engines or external power sources. Modern mobile crushers also feature automation systems and remote control capabilities, making them easier to operate.

Advantages:

  • Mobility: Easy and quick transportation to different job sites.

  • Quick Setup: Faster installation and commissioning compared to stationary plants.

  • Versatility: Suitable for processing various types and sizes of materials.

  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces logistics and setup costs due to portability.

Applications:

  • Mining (ore crushing and screening)

  • Construction (recycling of concrete waste, road construction)

  • Recycling (processing construction and demolition waste)

  • Quarries (aggregate production)
