A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening system mounted on wheels or tracks, used to process hard materials such as stone, rock, concrete, asphalt, or ore on-site. Its main advantage is mobility, allowing quick relocation and fast setup in different locations without the need for extensive infrastructure.
The working principle starts with feeding the raw material into a hopper. It is then transferred to a crusher (jaw, impact, or cone type), where it is broken down into smaller pieces. The crushed material moves to a vibrating screen, which separates it into different sizes. The final output is transported by conveyors.
Mobile crushers are commonly used in road construction, infrastructure projects, demolition waste recycling, and small- to mid-scale mining operations. Their flexibility makes them highly valuable in urban and rural environments alike.
What Is a Stationary Crusher, What Is It Used For, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?
A stationary crusher is a fixed installation designed for continuous, high-volume material processing. It is typically built on-site and permanently installed on a concrete foundation. These plants are optimized for long-term use and high productivity.
Although the crushing process is similar to mobile crushers, the equipment used in stationary plants is generally larger and more powerful. Raw materials are fed into crushers, screened, and sorted by size, with full automation systems managing the workflow.
Stationary crushers are widely used in large quarries, mining sites, cement production, and major infrastructure projects like bridges, tunnels, and dams.
Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers
Stationary crushers offer higher production capacity, longer operating life, and more automation but require significant infrastructure and longer setup times. Mobile crushers offer immediate deployment, site flexibility, and lower upfront investment but are generally used in smaller-scale or temporary projects.
Mobile crushers are ideal for rapid deployment, while stationary crushers are suited for consistent and large-volume production.
What Are Impact-Resistant Parts, What Are They Used For, How Do They Work, and Where Are They Used?
Impact-resistant parts are specialized components used in crushing and screening systems that endure constant exposure to mechanical stress, impact forces, and abrasion. These parts are made from high-strength materials such as manganese steel, chromium-alloy steel, or ceramic-reinforced composites.
They are used in the internal surfaces of crushers, rotors, chutes, hoppers, conveyors, and screens. Their function is to protect structural components from damage and wear, ensuring the equipment operates efficiently and with minimal maintenance.
These parts directly absorb the energy of the crushed materials. Their longevity directly affects the performance and cost-effectiveness of the entire crushing system.
Application areas include quarrying, mining, construction waste recycling, heavy industry equipment, and cement plants.
