A portable crusher (or mobile crushing plant) is a crushing and screening system that can be easily transported between job sites, unlike stationary crushing plants. These systems are widely used in construction, mining, and recycling industries.

Working Principle:
Portable crushers are typically mounted on crawler or wheeled chassis, allowing them to be moved using heavy machinery (excavators, loaders) or trucks. The main components include:

  1. Feeder (Hopper): Ensures consistent material flow into the crusher.

  2. Crusher (Jaw, Impact, Cone): Reduces material size.

  3. Screening System: Separates crushed materials by size.

  4. Conveyor Belts: Transport processed materials.

Advantages:

  • Mobility: Quick setup in different project sites.

  • Cost-Efficiency: Reduces fixed installation costs.

  • Eco-Friendly: Enables recycling of construction waste.

Applications:

  • Road and dam construction

  • Quarrying and mining

  • Demolition waste recycling
