A crusher is a machine designed to mechanically break down large materials such as rock, stone, and ore into smaller, uniform particles. This process is essential for producing aggregates used in construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications. The machine receives material through a vibrating feeder and uses jaw, cone, or impact crushing mechanisms to reduce size. Crushed particles are passed through vibrating screens, and oversized fragments are sent back to the crusher until desired particle size is achieved. Crushers are commonly used in concrete plants, asphalt facilities, roadways, bridge and dam construction, quarries, mining sites, and recycling centers.

What Is a Mobile Crusher, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening unit mounted on a wheeled or tracked chassis, enabling on-site material processing. It reduces transportation time and costs by processing materials at the source. Material is fed into the unit, crushed, screened, and appropriate sized aggregates are transported to storage using conveyors. Powered by diesel generators or electricity, mobile crushers are ideal for construction sites, road works, temporary mining areas, recycling operations, and emergency response deployments.

What Is a Stationary Crusher, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

A stationary crusher is a fixed installation designed for high-capacity, continuous production, usually mounted on concrete or steel foundations. Raw material is loaded via silos or bunkers and undergoes primary crushing, followed by secondary crushing and size classification using vibrating screens. Appropriately sized aggregates are then conveyed to storage or dispatch areas. PLC-controlled automation ensures efficient 24/7 operation. Stationary units are widely used in large quarries, mining operations, concrete and asphalt plants, port fill projects, and major infrastructure developments.

What Are the Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers?

Mobile crushers offer portability, fast deployment, and minimal infrastructure needs, but have limited production capacity. Stationary crushers provide large-scale output and continuous operation but require significant investment, infrastructure, and remain fixed in place.

What Is a Mobile Sand Screening Plant, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

A mobile sand screening plant is an integrated system that cleans and classifies natural sand or gravel at the site. It typically includes a vibrating feeder, washing drum or bucket, screening system, and water recycling components. Material is fed, washed to remove clay and fines, then classified with vibrating screens. The final product is transported via conveyors to storage. Water is filtered in settling tanks and reused in the system. Such mobile sand plants are used in concrete and mortar production, landscaping, landfill capping, drainage systems, and various infrastructure projects.
