A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening machine used in mining, construction, and recycling industries. It breaks down large rocks and ores into smaller, usable pieces. Thanks to its mobility, it can be easily moved between sites and quickly set up.

It operates typically with a diesel or electric motor powering the crusher mechanism, which may be jaw, impact, or cone type. Material is fed into the hopper, crushed, and discharged via conveyor belts.

Applications include quarries, mining operations, construction projects, recycling facilities, and road and infrastructure works.

What is a Stationary Crusher, Its Purpose, How It Works, and Where It is Used?

A stationary crusher is a fixed machine designed for high-capacity crushing tasks, often found in mining sites and quarries. Its fixed structure supports continuous, large-scale operations.

Powered by electric motors, materials are crushed mechanically through jaw, cone, or impact crushers. The crushed material is transported via conveyor belts for further processing or storage.

Common uses are large mining operations, quarries, cement factories, and concrete production plants.

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

Mobile crushers offer flexible, portable, and rapid setup suitable for small to medium projects. Stationary crushers are larger, more durable, and designed for long-term fixed operations with higher capacity.

Mobile crushers enable quick production startup on-site; stationary crushers require infrastructure and fixed installation. Differences also exist in maintenance requirements and energy consumption.

What Are Conveyor Drums and Bearings, Their Purpose, How They Work, and Where They Are Used?

A conveyor drum is a cylindrical rotating part used to move conveyor belts, typically made from steel or durable materials.

Bearings are mechanical components that reduce friction during drum rotation and support the drum structure, consisting of inner and outer rings with balls or rollers. Bearings ensure smooth and efficient drum operation and prevent wear.

The drum rotates via motor power to drive the belt, while bearings minimize friction and energy loss.

Applications include mining and quarry conveyor systems, factories, recycling centers, and logistics sectors.
