A mobile crusher is a movable crushing and screening system used to break down hard materials like rocks, stones, concrete, and asphalt into smaller sizes. Unlike traditional stationary crushers, mobile crushers are built on wheeled or tracked chassis and can be easily transported between project sites.

These units are widely used in construction, mining, and recycling industries. A mobile crusher acts as a self-contained processing plant that integrates feeding, crushing, screening, and conveying in a single unit.

 2. What Does It Do?

Mobile crushers break down bulk materials quickly and efficiently to produce aggregate or fill material for further use. Their functions include:

  • Producing on-site material, eliminating transport needs.

  • Reducing costs of hauling raw materials to a crushing plant.

  • Enabling recycling of demolished concrete, asphalt, and other debris.

  • Providing a fast and adaptable crushing solution for temporary or remote projects.

 3. How Does It Work?

A mobile crusher system typically consists of:

  1. Feeding Unit (Hopper + Vibrating Feeder): Raw material is loaded and sent in a controlled flow to the crusher.

  2. Primary Crusher (Jaw, Impact, or Cone): Reduces large chunks into smaller fragments.

  3. Secondary/Tertiary Crushers (Optional): Provide further size reduction if needed.

  4. Screening Unit: Separates material into different size categories.

  5. Conveyor Belts: Move the crushed material to stockpiles or trucks.

  6. Chassis (Tracked or Wheeled): Provides mobility for transportation between sites.

The unit may be powered by an onboard generator or connected to an external power source.

 4. Areas of Application

  • Quarries and Mining Sites: Primary processing of raw rock and ores.

  • Construction and Infrastructure Projects: Crushing demolition waste for reuse.

  • Recycling Plants: Processing concrete, bricks, asphalt, and more.

  • Roadworks and Dams: On-site aggregate production for lower logistics costs.

  • Temporary Projects: Efficient solution where stationary plants are impractical.
