A mobile crusher is a stone crushing and screening machine used in the stone and mining industries to process materials on-site and reduce them to the desired sizes. Developed as an alternative to stationary plants, these machines are ideal for projects where location changes are frequent, thanks to their portability. Mounted on a truck or trailer, mobile crushers can be easily transported to different sites.
The crushing process in mobile crushers follows a three-stage sequence to achieve the desired size and uniformity of materials: primary, secondary, and tertiary crushers. Each stage contributes to refining the material:
Primary Crushers: These crushers are used in the first stage of the crushing process, breaking down large rock or ore into smaller parts. Jaw crushers are typically used at this stage, handling large capacities and performing coarse crushing to prepare materials for the next stage.
Secondary Crushers: Used to further reduce medium-sized material from the primary crusher, secondary crushers, such as impact or cone crushers, provide more homogeneous output and prepare the material for the final stage.
Tertiary Crushers: In the final stage, tertiary crushers reduce material to the smallest sizes, particularly for applications requiring fine sand or aggregates. Hammer or vertical shaft impact crushers are common at this stage, ensuring the material is given its final shape.
Thanks to this three-stage crushing process, mobile crushers transform raw materials into project-specific sizes, ready for use across various applications. With a compact structure, low fuel consumption, quick setup times, and ease of transport, mobile crushers provide cost-effective and agile solutions for mining, road construction, and other infrastructure projects.
