A mobile crusher is a mobile crushing and screening plant designed to process materials such as rocks, stones, construction debris, and ores on-site. It integrates major components like crushers, vibrating screens, feeders, and conveyors into a compact, portable unit.

The working principle starts with raw material being fed into the hopper. It then passes through a crusher (jaw, impact, or cone) and is screened into different sizes using vibrating screens. The finished products are transferred by conveyors.

Mobile crushers are ideal for short-term projects, urban construction, road building, infrastructure works, and recycling operations. Their main advantage lies in fast relocation and minimal setup requirements.

What Is a Stationary Crusher, What Is It Used For, How Does It Work, and Where Is It Used?

A stationary crusher is a permanent installation set up on a concrete foundation, used for continuous and high-volume material processing in mining or quarry operations. It includes powerful equipment and automated systems for efficiency.

Raw materials are fed through hoppers, crushed in multiple stages, and screened into specific sizes. The system is designed for consistent output and durability over long periods.

Stationary crushers are used in large-scale infrastructure projects, aggregate plants, cement factories, and mining operations, offering high production capacity and lower operational costs over time.

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

  • Mobility: Mobile crushers are portable; stationary crushers are fixed.

  • Setup Time: Mobile systems can be set up in hours; stationary ones take days or weeks.

  • Production Capacity: Stationary plants have higher throughput.

  • Investment Cost: Stationary plants require higher upfront investment but are cost-effective long-term.

  • Application Scope: Mobile systems are for temporary, flexible operations; stationary plants serve large, long-term projects.

What Are Cast Pallets, What Are They Used For, How Do They Work, and Where Are They Used?

Cast pallets are high-durability wear parts made from alloyed steel or heat-treated cast metal. They are mainly used in impact crushers and heavy-duty conveyor systems. Positioned on rotors or critical impact zones, they absorb shock during crushing operations.

Their function is to withstand the repetitive force and abrasion from processed materials. This reduces wear on main machine parts, enhances efficiency, and minimizes downtime.

Materials used include high manganese steel, chromium alloys, and sometimes ceramic-reinforced composites.

Applications:

  • Impact crushers

  • Stone and mineral crushing systems

  • Asphalt and concrete recycling

  • Aggregate production lines

  • Construction waste processing
