A crusher is an industrial machine designed to mechanically reduce large rocks, stones, or ore into smaller, manageable aggregates. The process is essential for aggregate production. Material is fed via a vibrating feeder into the crusher unit. Jaw, cone, or impact crushers break the material until the correct size is achieved. Crushed particles pass through vibrating screens to separate desired sizes, while oversized fragments return to the crusher in a looping process. Crushers are widely used in concrete and asphalt plants, road, bridge, and dam projects, quarries, mining sites, and recycling facilities.

A mobile crusher is a crushing-screening plant installed on a wheeled or tracked chassis, capable of on-site operation with rapid setup. Powered by diesel or electricity, it processes material directly at the source, screens it, and conveys finished aggregates to storage. This minimizes transport costs and deployment time. Mobile crushers are favored in construction sites, road works, temporary mining operations, recycling yards, and emergency response sites. They can be operational within hours but do not offer the same capacity as stationary plants.

A stationary crusher is a permanently installed, high-capacity crushing-screening plant built on concrete or steel foundations. These units are used in large quarries, mining operations, concrete and asphalt plants, port fill operations, and major infrastructure projects. Material is loaded from a silo or bunker and first crushed using a jaw crusher. It then passes through cone or impact crushers, and vibrating screens separate aggregates by size. Correctly sized materials are moved via conveyors to storage. PLC-controlled automation enables continuous, reliable, and controlled operation.

The differences between stationary and mobile crushers are: mobile units offer portability, fast deployment, and flexibility, but have lower capacity and limited infrastructure needs. Stationary plants provide high capacity, continuous operation, and lower unit cost, but require substantial infrastructure and investment, long installation time, and cannot be relocated.

A limestone crushing and screening plant is an integrated system that processes natural limestone blocks into specified size fractions. Limestone is widely used in cement production, steelmaking, agriculture as soil conditioner, construction fill materials, and glass or paper industries. In this plant, material is first coarse-crushed in a jaw crusher. It then undergoes further crushing in cone or impact crushers. Vibrating screens separate aggregates into different size classes. Optional grinding and micronization processes produce finer products when needed. The final product is conveyed to packaging or storage. Production is efficient, controlled, and designed with precise feeding, screening, and continuous operation in mind.
