A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening machine designed to reduce the size of rocks, minerals, and demolition waste directly at the site. It is mounted on wheels or tracks, allowing easy movement between job sites. Mobile crushers can be equipped with jaw, impact, or cone crushers depending on the application.

What Is Its Function?

  • Reduces large materials into smaller aggregate sizes

  • Enables on-site processing, minimizing transport costs

  • Offers flexibility in multiple locations

  • Useful for short-term or temporary crushing projects

  • Allows quick deployment and startup

How Does It Work?

  • Material is fed into the hopper via an excavator or loader

  • The crusher unit breaks the material down

  • Screens separate the crushed material by size

  • Conveyor belts transport final products to stockpiles or trucks

  • Closed-loop systems allow re-crushing if needed

Where Is It Used?

  • Quarry operations

  • Road construction projects

  • Mining applications

  • Demolition and recycling sites

  • Infrastructure development

What is a Stationary Crusher?

A stationary crusher is a permanently installed crushing and screening system used for high-volume, long-term production. It is ideal for industrial mining and large-scale aggregate production where constant output is required.

What Is Its Function?

  • Facilitates continuous crushing of large quantities

  • Serves as the core of permanent aggregate production sites

  • Supports multiple crushing stages (primary, secondary, tertiary)

  • Reduces operating costs in long-term projects

How Does It Work?

  • Raw material is dumped into a fixed hopper

  • It passes through primary and secondary crushers

  • Screens classify materials into different sizes

  • Conveyors move materials to appropriate storage areas

Where Is It Used?

  • Industrial-scale mining

  • Cement and asphalt plants

  • Concrete production sites

  • Dams, bridges, highways, and mega infrastructure projects

Differences Between Mobile and Stationary Crushers

  • Mobility: Mobile units can be transported; stationary ones remain fixed.

  • Setup Time: Mobile crushers require less installation time.

  • Capacity: Stationary crushers typically support higher production.

  • Cost: Mobile systems are more cost-effective short-term; stationary ones are efficient long-term.

  • Suitability: Mobile units are for temporary projects; stationary units for permanent facilities.

What Are Conveyor Rollers?

Conveyor rollers are cylindrical components that support and guide the conveyor belt within a belt conveyor system. They are made of steel or plastic and fitted with bearings to rotate smoothly. They reduce friction and help ensure stable belt movement.

What Is Their Purpose?

  • Support and align the moving conveyor belt

  • Distribute load evenly across the belt

  • Reduce wear and tear on the belt

  • Minimize energy consumption

  • Enhance the conveyor’s operational efficiency

How Do They Work?

  • Rollers are mounted along the frame of the conveyor system

  • As the belt moves, it rolls over the rollers

  • Gravity or motorized rollers rotate to allow belt movement

  • Multiple rollers are spaced regularly to ensure balance and alignment

Where Are They Used?

  • Mining conveyors

  • Aggregate processing plants

  • Ports and shipping terminals

  • Cement and steel industries

  • Agricultural and logistics applications
