A crusher is a heavy-duty machine used to break down large rocks, stones, and minerals into smaller, more manageable aggregates. Crushers are commonly used in quarries, mining sites, and recycling centers. They allow large materials to be reduced to sizes suitable for construction and infrastructure applications.

 WHAT DOES A CRUSHER DO?

Crushers are responsible for turning large rocks into aggregates that are crucial for a variety of industries, including concrete production, road construction, railroad ballast, and other infrastructure projects. Crushers are also used in the recycling of construction and demolition waste.

 HOW DOES A CRUSHER WORK?

A typical crusher operates in three stages:

  1. Primary Crushing: In this stage, large rocks are initially broken down into smaller pieces using jaw crushers or impact crushers.

  2. Secondary Crushing: After the first crushing, the larger materials are passed to secondary crushers to achieve a finer size.

  3. Tertiary Crushing: In the final stage, the materials are reduced to uniform, smaller aggregates. The materials are then separated by size using screens and conveyors.

 WHERE IS A CRUSHER USED?

  • Ready-mix concrete plants

  • Road construction (base and surface layers)

  • Rail infrastructure (ballast production)

  • Mining sites (ore preparation)

  • Recycling of construction waste

  • Major infrastructure projects (dams, tunnels)

  • Industrial production sites

 WHAT IS A TRACKED CRUSHER?

A tracked crusher is a mobile crushing unit mounted on a crawler (tracked) chassis. This type of crusher is designed to be highly portable, making it ideal for use in remote or challenging terrain. It integrates crushing, screening, and classification functions into one system and is typically used where stationary plants are impractical.

 WHAT DOES A TRACKED CRUSHER DO?

Tracked crushers are used to efficiently process large rocks into smaller aggregates. They are commonly used in areas where mobility is essential, such as mountainous or difficult-to-access sites. They provide flexible, cost-effective solutions for large-scale construction, road-building, and mining operations.

 HOW DOES A TRACKED CRUSHER WORK?

Tracked crushers start with a feeding system that sends large rocks to the crusher unit. The crusher reduces the material size through jaw, impact, or cone crushers. The materials are then screened to separate them into different sizes, and the machine moves the final products to a stockpile area. The tracked design allows easy movement on challenging terrain.

WHERE IS A TRACKED CRUSHER USED?

  • Remote or mountainous regions

  • Temporary construction sites

  • Road, dam, tunnel, and railroad projects

  • Mobile aggregate production in mining operations

  • On-site recycling of construction waste

  • Flexible solutions for temporary or large projects
