A crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, or rock dust. It is commonly used in mining, construction, and infrastructure projects. There are various types of crushers:

  • Jaw Crushers

  • Cone Crushers

  • Impact Crushers

  • Tertiary Crushers

What is a Mobile Crusher? What Is It Used For?

A mobile crusher is a portable crushing unit that can be easily transported and used directly at the job site.

Main uses:

  • On-site crushing without the need for fixed installations.

  • Saves on transportation and setup time.

  • Ideal for small-to-medium-scale or temporary construction sites.

How Does It Work?

  1. Feeder Unit: Raw material is loaded onto the machine.

  2. Primary Crushing: Usually a jaw crusher breaks down the material.

  3. Secondary Crushing: A cone or impact crusher processes it further.

  4. Screening Unit: Vibrating screens separate different sizes.

  5. Conveyors: Move material to stockpiles.

  6. Dust Suppression: Built-in systems control air pollution.


    A crusher reduces large stones and rocks into smaller, construction-grade aggregates like gravel, crushed stone, and sand.

    Used In:

    • Highway and road construction

    • Bridge and dam construction

    • Foundations and infrastructure

    • Railway ballast production

    • Concrete production plants

    • Mining and quarry operations

    🔹 What Is a Mobile Crusher Used For, and Where Is It Used?

    What is it used for?
    A mobile crusher is used to crush materials directly at the site, without needing a permanent crushing facility. It offers high mobility and time savings.

    Used In:

    • On-site crushing for construction projects

    • Temporary infrastructure works (roads, airports, dams)

    • Demolition and recycling (concrete, asphalt)

    • Mining sites and quarries

    • Remote or difficult-to-access work zones

What is a Crushing and Screening Plant?

A Crushing and Screening Plant is an industrial facility where rocks are crushed and classified according to size.

Uses:

  • Aggregate production for concrete, asphalt, and road base.

  • Produces construction-grade material from natural rock.

Operation:

  • Feeding → Crushing → Screening → Stockpiling

  • Modern plants are often automated and remotely controlled.
