A mobile crusher is a movable crushing and screening machine used in sectors such as mining, construction, and recycling. It is designed to crush hard materials like rocks and ores into smaller pieces. Being mobile, it can be easily transported to different sites and quickly set up for production.

How does it work?
Mobile crushers generally use an electric or diesel engine to power the crushing mechanism, which may be jaw, impact, or cone crusher type. Materials enter through the feed hopper, get crushed, and then discharged via conveyor belts.

Usage Areas:

  • Construction and infrastructure projects

  • Mining operations

  • Recycling plants

  • Road and railway construction

  • Quarries

What is a Stationary Crusher, Its Purpose, How It Works, and Its Usage Areas?

Stationary crushers are fixed-position crushing machines designed for high-capacity, continuous material processing. They are usually located in large mining or quarry sites.

How does it work?
Stationary crushers are powered by electric motors and crush materials using jaw, cone, or impact principles. Crushed material is transferred via conveyor belts to other processing units or storage.

Usage Areas:

  • Large mining sites

  • Quarries

  • Industrial production facilities

  • Cement and concrete plants

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

  • Mobility: Mobile crushers are portable and can be moved easily, while stationary crushers are fixed in one place.

  • Setup Time: Mobile crushers offer quick setup, stationary crushers are for long-term, permanent operations.

  • Capacity: Stationary crushers generally have higher capacity.

  • Application: Mobile crushers are preferred for flexible site changes; stationary crushers are used in large-scale permanent plants.

What are Conveyor Drums and Bearings, Their Purpose, How They Work, and Usage Areas?

What is a Conveyor Drum?
A conveyor drum is a cylindrical component used to drive conveyor belts. Made from metal or durable materials.

What is a Bearing?
A bearing is a mechanical part that reduces friction and supports the rotation of the drum. It consists of inner and outer rings and balls or rollers.

Purpose:
The drum moves the conveyor belt enabling material transport. Bearings ensure smooth and efficient drum rotation and prevent wear.

How it works:
A motor turns the drum, which moves the belt. Bearings reduce friction during rotation and ensure durability and stability.

Usage Areas:

  • Conveyor systems in mining and quarry operations

  • Material handling in factories

  • Recycling and waste management plants

  • Logistics and packaging sectors
