A crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks, stones, or concrete into smaller pieces. It is commonly used in construction, mining, quarrying, and recycling. Crushers turn unusable materials into usable aggregates by breaking them down.

Working principle: Large materials are fed into the crusher, where they are crushed mechanically by jaw, impact, cone, or vertical shaft crushers. The processed material is then sorted into sizes with a vibrating screen.

Applications:

  • Quarries

  • Road construction

  • Concrete recycling

  • Mining operations

  • Construction waste recovery

What is a mobile crusher, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening plant that can be set up on various sites. It includes a chassis with an engine, feeder, crusher, and screen systems.

It is ideal for locations where a permanent plant is not feasible. It works via a hydraulic system and is often track- or wheel-mounted. Material is crushed and screened within a single unit.

Applications:

  • Temporary construction sites

  • Mountainous or remote areas

  • Road repair and maintenance

  • On-site recycling projects

What is a stationary crusher, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
A stationary crusher is a permanently installed crushing plant. It's used in large-scale production facilities. Stationary plants are more powerful and durable.

Although the working principle is similar to mobile crushers, stationary ones use larger equipment and have higher capacity.

Applications:

  • Large quarries

  • Industrial mining

  • Government infrastructure projects

  • Concrete and asphalt plants

What are the differences between stationary and mobile crushers?

  • Mobility: Mobile crushers can move, stationary ones are fixed.

  • Setup Time: Mobile units are quick to set up, stationary take longer.

  • Capacity: Stationary crushers usually have higher capacity.

  • Cost: Mobile units have lower upfront cost but higher maintenance due to mobility.

  • Usage: Mobile crushers for temporary jobs, stationary for large, permanent projects.

What is a tracked crusher, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
A tracked crusher is a mobile unit mounted on tracks. It moves easily over rough terrain and can be remote-controlled.

Used in mining, mountainous terrain, and military projects, it combines feeder, crusher, and screening in one compact system.

Applications:

  • Mountainous or sloped terrains

  • Remote construction sites

  • Emergency and military operations

  • Jobs needing high maneuverability
