A crusher is a heavy industrial machine designed to reduce large rocks, stones, or ores into smaller, processed pieces. It applies mechanical force using jaw, cone, or impact crushers. The crushed material is sized using vibrating screens. Crushers are widely used in construction for aggregate production, in mining for ore preparation, in road building, infrastructure projects, recycling operations, and in quarries.

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

A mobile crusher is a crushing and screening plant mounted on a wheeled or tracked platform, easily transported between locations. Powered by diesel or electricity, it integrates a feed hopper, primary and secondary crushers, screening units, and conveyors in a compact system. It processes material directly on-site, offering flexibility for urban redevelopment, road construction, mining operations, and recycling projects.

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

A fixed crusher is a permanently installed high-capacity crushing and screening plant. Material is fed by trucks or conveyors, crushed using jaw, cone, or impact crushers, sized through vibrating screens, and conveyed to storage. It is used in continuous, large-scale operations such as dams, highways, ports, concrete plants, and asphalt facilities.

What Are the Differences Between Fixed and Mobile Crushers?

  • Mobile crushers are portable; fixed crushers are stationary.

  • Mobile systems can be installed in minutes; fixed plants take days or weeks.

  • Fixed plants provide high throughput; mobile units support moderate production.

  • Mobile plants offer flexibility; fixed plants are ideal for continuous production.

  • Mobile plants may have higher upfront costs; fixed plants are more economical long term.

What is a Track-Mounted (Crawler) Crusher Plant, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

A track-mounted crusher plant is a mobile crushing and screening unit built on a crawler track system. It operates stably on rough, rocky, or soft terrain. Powered by a diesel engine, it integrates crushers and screening equipment in one platform. Used in mining, quarrying, forestry areas, and remote construction sites. Track mobility offers fast, secure access in difficult environments.

What is an Aggregate Washing and Screening Plant, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

An aggregate washing and screening plant cleans crushed stone, sand, and gravel by removing fine particles such as dust, clay, and silt. It includes water washing systems, vibrating screens, conveyors, and water recovery units. Cleaned materials are classified into fractions and used in concrete, asphalt, mortar, infrastructure fill projects, prefabricated building production, and landscaping works.
