A mobile crusher is a portable crushing plant mounted on wheels or tracks, designed to crush rocks, concrete, and other hard materials directly at the site. Unlike stationary crushers, it offers mobility for quick relocation between projects, making it ideal for mining, construction, road building, and recycling.

2. Purpose

  • On-Site Crushing: Reduces material transportation costs by processing rocks where they are extracted.

  • Versatility: Handles primary, secondary, or tertiary crushing with jaw, impact, or cone crushers.

  • Recycling: Converts construction waste (concrete, asphalt) into reusable aggregates.

  • Rapid Deployment: Operational within hours of arrival at the site.

3. How Does It Work?

A. Key Components

  • Chassis: Tracked or wheeled undercarriage for mobility.

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

  • Feeder: Regulates material flow into the crusher.

  • Conveyor Belts: Transport crushed material to screens or stockpiles.

  • Screening System: Separates material by size; recirculates oversized particles.

  • Power Source: Diesel engine or external electric power.

  • Control Panel: Adjusts operational parameters like speed and output size.

B. Operational Stages

  1. Transport & Setup: The crusher is driven or towed to the site.

  2. Feeding: Material is loaded into the feeder via excavator or loader.

  3. Crushing: The crusher unit reduces material to the desired size.

  4. Screening: Material is sorted by size using vibrating screens.

  5. Stockpiling/Transport: Final product is conveyed to trucks or storage areas.

4. Advantages

  • Mobility: Operates on rough terrain with tracked/wheeled mobility.

  • Customization: Configurable with multiple crusher and screen combinations.

  • Cost Efficiency: Eliminates hauling expenses and reduces labor.

  • Quick ROI: Ideal for short-term projects with rental options.
