A mobile crusher is a portable crushing and screening system used for processing stones, rocks, ore, or construction debris directly at the worksite. A fixed crusher, in contrast, is installed permanently at one location and is designed for high-volume, long-term crushing operations.

What They Do:

Both systems reduce large materials into smaller, usable sizes for applications in construction, road building, cement manufacturing, and mining. Their purpose is to convert raw or waste materials into commercial-grade aggregates.

How They Work:

Each system consists of a feeder, a crusher, a screen, and conveyor belts. Material enters through the feeder, gets crushed, is sorted by the screen, and finally transported via conveyors to storage.

Key Differences:

  • Mobility: Mobile crushers can be easily moved; fixed crushers remain at a permanent site.

  • Setup time: Mobile units can be operational in a short time. Fixed units require longer setup and infrastructure.

  • Capacity: Fixed crushers are suited for large-scale production. Mobile crushers are best for small to medium jobs.

  • Flexibility: Mobile units can serve multiple sites. Fixed ones are limited to one location.

  • Investment: Mobile crushers require less infrastructure. Fixed plants need foundations, electricity, and buildings.

 What is a Limestone Crushing and Screening Plant, What Does It Do, How Does It Work, Where Is It Used?

A limestone crushing and screening plant is a facility designed to process raw limestone into various sizes for use in construction, agriculture, and industry.

What It Does:

The plant produces limestone products used in cement, concrete, road base, soil improvement, and environmental applications.

How It Works:

Limestone is delivered by trucks and fed into a primary crusher. It is broken into smaller pieces, then processed in a secondary crusher. The material passes through screens to separate it by size, and the final products are either stored or shipped.

Areas of Use:

  • Cement and concrete factories

  • Road and infrastructure construction

  • Agriculture as soil amendment

  • Energy and environmental engineering projects
