A crusher is an industrial crushing-screening machine that reduces large stones, rocks, and construction debris into smaller, usable sizes. Material is initially fed into a bunker or vibrating feeder. A primary crusher (jaw or impact) performs the initial breakage, followed by cone or finely tuned crushers to reach the desired particle size. Finally, a vibrating screen separates material into different fractions. These aggregates are then supplied to concrete or asphalt plants, used in infrastructure projects, quarry operations, and recycling of construction waste.

What Is a Mobile Crusher, Its Function, Operation, and Where Is It Used

A mobile crusher is a transportable crushing-screening unit mounted on wheeled or tracked platforms. When on site, it is stabilized with hydraulic supports and connected to power to begin operation. Crushers inside the unit break down material, screens classify it, and conveyors transport the product. Mobile crushers offer significant convenience in construction, demolition, mining, remote or rural areas, and temporary infrastructure tasks because of their mobility and rapid deployment.

What Is a Stationary Crusher, Its Function, Operation, and Where Is It Used

A stationary crusher is a permanently installed high-capacity crushing-screening plant, typically integrated into a facility or infrastructure site. Material is fed through a bunker or vibrating feeder, processed through primary and secondary crushers, classified with vibrating screens, and conveyed to storage or transport. These systems are ideal for continuous operations in quarries, concrete/asphalt plants, and large infrastructure projects requiring automation, dust suppression, and washing systems.

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

Stationary crushers are fixed installations offering high capacity and deep integration with automation and environmental systems, but require higher initial investment and time to install. Mobile crushers deliver swift setup, flexibility, and transportability, making them suitable for temporary or multi-location projects, though they operate at lower capacity with limited integration.

What Is a Manganese Ore Crushing-Screening Plant, Its Function, Operation, and Where Is It Used

A manganese ore crushing-screening plant processes manganese-bearing rocks extracted from the earth. Material is fed into a bunker, initially coarse ground by jaw or impact crushers, further refined by cone crushers, and then separated by vibrating screens into size categories. Optional washing systems remove dust, and quality samples are taken. The resultant manganese ore fractions serve as essential raw materials in steel manufacturing, battery production, chemical industry, ceramics, casting, refractory materials, and surface coatings.
