A crusher system mechanically reduces large stones, debris, or ore into smaller fragments and classifies them. Raw material is fed into a feeder hopper, then passes through primary crushers (jaw, impact, cone), followed by secondary or tertiary crushers. Vibrating screens separate material by size, and conveyor belts transport the sorted products. Crushers are widely used in construction, road/highway/bridge/dam projects, quarry operations, concrete and asphalt production, mining for ore preparation, and demolition waste recycling.

What Is a Mobile Crusher? Purpose, Operation, Applications

A mobile crusher is a transportable crushing and screening unit mounted on wheels or tracks. It is shipped to site, stabilized with hydraulic legs, and powered by diesel or electric. Crushers and screens reduce and sort the material, which is then conveyed away. Mobile crushers are ideal for temporary sites, rural and mountainous infrastructure works, mining preparation, and demolition waste processing.

What Is a Stationary Crusher? Purpose, Operation, Applications

A stationary crusher is a permanently installed, high-capacity crushing and screening plant. It consists of feeders, primary/secondary/tertiary crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor belts. Material is processed in stages, size-separated, and stored or shipped. Stationary crushers are used in quarries, large infrastructure projects, concrete and asphalt plants, and continuous mineral processing. They require foundation and offer automation and environmental controls.

Differences Between Stationary and Mobile Crushers

Stationary crushers are fixed, high-capacity systems requiring infrastructure and longer setup. They are suited for long-term, large-scale operations with integrated automation and dust suppression. Mobile crushers are flexible, quickly deployed, transportable, and ideal for short-term or changing-site projects. They have lower capacity but faster operation.

What Is a Mining and Aggregate Crushing–Screening Plant? Purpose, Operation, Applications

A mining and aggregate plant crushes and separates stone, ore, or gravel into usable sizes. Material is fed via bunker or feeder, crushed in stages (jaw, cone, impact), and passed through vibrating screens. Optionally, washing and beneficiation (e.g., magnetic or heavy-media separation) units are added. Final products are transported by conveyors. These plants produce aggregates for concrete and asphalt, prepare ore in mining, supply materials for road, dam, and infrastructure projects, and recycle demolition waste.
