A crusher is a machine used to break down large-sized rocks, ores, or construction materials into smaller pieces. It is mainly used in quarries or construction sites. Its primary purpose is to make raw material easier to process, transport, and reuse.

It works by feeding the material into the system where crushers (such as jaw, impact, or cone types) break it down. The crushed material is then screened and classified into different sizes for various uses.

Applications:

  • Quarries

  • Road construction

  • Concrete recycling

  • Mining

  • Infrastructure projects

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 unit that combines feeding, crushing, and screening on one mobile chassis. It can be transported with wheels, tracks, or trailers.

It is used in short-term projects or where stationary crushing is not feasible. After the material is fed and crushed, it is screened and discharged as usable aggregate.

Applications:

  • Temporary construction sites

  • Rough or remote terrain

  • Road maintenance

  • Waste recovery

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 and screening facility designed for continuous high-capacity production. It takes more time to install but is more efficient in the long run.

Materials are fed via trucks, crushed using robust machinery, and processed into industrial-grade materials.

Applications:

  • Large-scale quarries

  • Industrial production

  • Long-term infrastructure projects

  • Concrete/asphalt production

What are the differences between stationary and mobile crushers?

  • Mobile crushers are movable; stationary ones are fixed.

  • Mobile units are quick to set up; stationary ones take longer.

  • Stationary plants usually offer higher production capacity.

  • Mobile units are more flexible but have higher maintenance costs.

  • Stationary crushers suit long-term production; mobile units suit temporary use.

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 crushing system mounted on tracks. It is capable of moving on rough terrain, steep inclines, and soft ground.

It includes both the crusher and screening systems on the same platform. Often remotely controlled, it is ideal for high-mobility tasks like military or emergency response.

Applications:

  • Mountainous terrain

  • Difficult-to-reach areas

  • Disaster zones

  • Defense projects
