A mobile crusher is a transportable crushing and screening machine mounted on tracks or wheels designed to process hard materials like rock, concrete, or asphalt on site. It enables fast deployment and flexibility across different locations, minimizing material transport.

Operation involves feeding material into a hopper, crushing it via jaw, impact, or cone crushers, screening processed material by size, and transporting final product via conveyor belts. Integrated onboard generators often provide power autonomy.

Common applications include road construction, demolition recycling, mining, quarry operations, and other infrastructure projects requiring on-site processing.

What Is a Stationary Crusher, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used

A stationary crusher is a fixed installation designed for long-term high-volume crushing and screening tasks. It is typically used in quarries, aggregate plants, and large civil projects requiring continuous operation.

The facility includes primary, secondary, and tertiary crushers, vibrating screens, conveyors, and control systems. Raw material is delivered, crushed in staged processes, screened by size, and conveyed to storage or processing areas.

Stationary crushers are ideal for industrial-scale applications such as cement production, mining, and aggregate manufacturing that demand high throughput and automation.

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

  • Mobility: Mobile crushers can move across sites; stationary crushers remain fixed.

  • Setup Time: Mobile units can start quickly; stationary units need construction and infrastructure.

  • Production Scale: Stationary systems support greater throughput; mobile units are for medium-scale work.

  • Power Source: Mobile units can use generators; stationary ones rely on grid power.

  • Investment: Mobile systems require minimal site prep; stationary systems involve more upfront investment.

  • Ideal Usage: Mobile for temporary, flexible operations; stationary for continuous, high-volume facilities.

What Are Crusher Castings, What Do They Do, How Do They Work, and Where Are They Used

Crusher castings are wear-prone, high-strength cast steel parts used inside crushers. They include jaw plates, rotor paddles, blow bars, and liner plates. Manufactured from manganese steel or alloyed castings, they absorb impact and abrasion.

During crushing, material strikes these castings and breaks under force. Proper design and composition extend operational life and maintain product quality. Worn parts are replaced during routine maintenance to preserve performance.

This equipment is essential in stone quarrying, aggregate plants, concrete/asphalt production, recycling operations, and mining systems where constant crushing ratios and reliability are critical.
