A mobile crusher is a portable crushing plant mounted on a wheeled or tracked chassis, designed to crush large rocks, stones, or ores into smaller pieces. Unlike fixed crushing plants, mobile crushers can be easily transported from one site to another, allowing materials to be processed directly at the source. This reduces transportation costs and saves time.

Mobile crushers are especially preferred for temporary projects, hard-to-reach or mountainous areas, quarry sites, site-based operations, or recycling plants. They have a very short setup time and can be quickly deployed on site.

Main Uses of Mobile Crushers:

  • Quickly and effectively crushing stones and ores on-site,

  • Reducing transportation by processing materials where they are found,

  • Saving time by fast crushing and screening processes,

  • Providing practical solutions for temporary or mobile crushing needs,

  • Used flexibly in construction waste recycling projects.

What is a Gravel Crushing and Screening Plant?

A gravel crushing and screening plant is a facility that crushes natural stones, rocks, or other hard materials to produce aggregates (gravel) of various sizes. These plants play a critical role in producing aggregates used in construction, infrastructure, and mining sectors by breaking stones into desired sizes and classifying them with screening systems.

Gravel is a fundamental building material for concrete, asphalt, roads, and other infrastructure projects. Therefore, gravel crushing and screening plants are key points in the crushing and screening process.

What Does a Gravel Crushing and Screening Plant Do?

  • Crushes large stones into different sizes of aggregates,

  • Produces materials suitable for concrete, asphalt, and infrastructure projects,

  • Sorts crushed material by size through screening machines,

  • Produces special sized gravel according to project or sector needs,

  • Provides economical and local raw material supply reducing transportation costs.

How Does a Gravel Crushing and Screening Plant Work?

  1. Feeding: Stones are transferred by trucks or loaders to feeder bins or vibrating feeders,

  2. Primary Crushing: Primary crushers such as jaw crushers reduce the stone into smaller pieces,

  3. Secondary and Tertiary Crushing: Cone crushers, impact crushers, or vertical shaft impact crushers further reduce the stones to finer sizes,

  4. Screening: Screening machines separate crushed materials into different sizes,

  5. Stockpiling and Transport: Separated gravel is conveyed to stockpiles or loaded directly onto transport vehicles,

  6. Environmental Controls: Dust suppression and noise reduction systems minimize environmental impact.

Where is a Gravel Crushing and Screening Plant Used?

  • Highway, road, and bridge construction,

  • Railway ballast production,

  • Ready-mix concrete plants for aggregate supply,

  • Asphalt production facilities,

  • Dams, ports, and airports as durable fill materials,

  • Construction waste recycling projects.

Mobile crushers and gravel crushing and screening plants are complementary systems designed for different needs in stone crushing and processing. Mobile crushers offer flexible, transportable solutions, while gravel crushing and screening plants generally provide higher capacity, fixed, and continuous production.
