A crusher is a heavy-duty machine used to reduce large rocks, stones, or ores into smaller, manageable sizes. Its main function is to make raw materials suitable for further processing by breaking them into smaller particles. Crushers are classified by their crushing mechanism:

  • Jaw crushers: crush materials by compressing them between two jaws. They are suitable for coarse crushing and hard materials.

  • Cone crushers: crush materials by squeezing them between a moving cone and a fixed outer shell, ideal for medium and fine crushing.

  • Impact crushers: use high-speed impact force from blow bars to break materials, mainly for softer and medium-hard materials.
    The process involves feeding materials into the crusher where mechanical forces break the materials into smaller sizes. Crushers are widely used in mining (metallic and non-metallic ores), construction (concrete and asphalt recycling), road construction, quarrying, and recycling industries.

What is a mobile crusher, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
Mobile crushers are portable crushing machines mounted on wheels or tracks, allowing easy transport and quick setup on different sites. They provide the advantage of crushing material directly at the site, reducing transportation costs and time. These systems include feeders, crushers, screening units, and conveyor belts integrated into a single unit. Mobile crushers are widely used in short-term projects, excavation sites, construction zones, and temporary mining operations, offering flexibility and operational efficiency.

What is a stationary crusher, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
Stationary crushers are high-capacity crushing machines installed permanently in one location. Designed for heavy-duty and large-scale crushing, materials are fed by feeders and processed in multiple crushing stages. The crushed material is moved by conveyor belts to screening and further processing units. Stationary crushers are used in mining operations, large quarries, major construction projects, and infrastructure developments. They require significant investment and infrastructure but provide high productivity and efficiency.

What are the differences between stationary and mobile crushers?
Stationary crushers are large-scale, high-capacity machines requiring permanent infrastructure and longer installation times, and they are immobile. Mobile crushers offer smaller capacity but higher flexibility, faster setup, and the ability to relocate easily. Mobile crushers adapt quickly to changing site conditions and are ideal for temporary or changing projects. Stationary crushers are more suited for continuous and large-scale production, with easier maintenance planning.

What is a mobile crushing and screening plant, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
A mobile crushing and screening plant is an integrated system consisting of portable crushing and screening equipment. It crushes raw materials on-site and screens them into different size fractions. The system includes feeders, crushers, screens, conveyor belts, and control systems. Mobile plants speed up operations, reduce transportation costs, and allow flexible production in construction, mining, road building, recycling, and energy sectors.

What is a stone crushing and screening plant, what is it used for, how does it work, and where is it used?
A stone crushing and screening plant is a complete production facility installed in quarries or mining sites to process large rocks into standardized sizes. It typically includes feeders, jaw or cone crushers, screening machines, conveyor belts, and dust control systems. Crushing breaks large stones into smaller pieces, and screening sorts these pieces by size. These plants are used in construction, infrastructure projects, concrete and asphalt production.
