A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening plant used for on-site processing of rocks, ores, and construction waste. It contains all required equipment on a single chassis: crusher, screen, conveyor, and feeder.

Function:

Produces crushed stone and aggregate on-site for use in construction, mining, or recycling, eliminating transportation costs.

Working Principle:

  • Material is fed into the unit via a feeder.

  • Crushed in the primary crusher.

  • Separated by vibrating screens.

  • Final output carried via conveyors to storage.

Applications:

  • Temporary construction sites

  • Road, bridge, dam projects

  • Rugged terrains

  • Recycling operations

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

A crusher is a machine that reduces large rocks, stones, or ores into smaller sizes to be used in construction or further processing.

Function:

Creates aggregates for construction like concrete, asphalt, or road base.

Working Principle:

  • Raw material enters the crusher.

  • Primary crushing occurs.

  • Optional secondary/tertiary crushing.

  • Screening for size separation.

  • Final product delivered by conveyor.

Applications:

  • Quarries

  • Road building

  • Concrete and asphalt plants

  • Mining and infrastructure

What Are Mobile and Fixed Crushers, What Are Their Differences, and Where Are They Used?

Mobile Crusher:

Transportable unit, usable in different locations, ideal for flexible, short-term projects.

Fixed Crusher:

Stationary plant built for high-capacity, long-term industrial production.

Differences:

  • Mobility: Mobile is portable; fixed is stationary.

  • Setup Time: Mobile units are quick to install; fixed takes longer.

  • Investment: Mobile is cheaper; fixed has higher initial costs.

  • Capacity: Fixed crushers provide higher throughput.

  • Use Case: Mobile for small jobs, fixed for heavy-duty production.

Application Areas:

  • Mobile: Short-term construction, remote sites

  • Fixed: High-volume mining, industrial sites

 What is a Basalt Crushing and Screening Plant, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

A basalt crushing plant processes basalt—a dense, durable volcanic rock—into usable sizes for construction and infrastructure.

Function:

Produces high-strength aggregates from raw basalt blocks for road and heavy construction use.

Working Principle:

  • Basalt is delivered by truck.

  • Primary crushing with jaw or cone crushers.

  • Further crushing if needed.

  • Separated by screens by size.

  • Material stockpiled for use.

Applications:

  • Roads and highways

  • Concrete and asphalt production

  • Coastal and port structures

  • Durable infrastructure projects
