  • The installation form of the entire set of equipment can not only eliminate the installation of complex site infrastructure but also reduce material loss and time loss. The reasonable and compact space layout of the set of equipment can improve the flexibility of site stationing.
  • This kind of crusher plant equipment is flexible and the car chassis is high, so it is convenient for moving on the ordinary highway and the rugged road in crushing areas. It saves time for stationing at the construction site. Moreover, the mobile stone crushing machine is easier to locate in a reasonable construction area, and it provides more flexible space and reasonable layout configuration for the overall crushing process.
  • The whole set of portable crushing screening plants can work individually or work together by combining flexibly on the basis of coarse crushing and fine crushing.
  • The crusher plant machinery can greatly reduce transportation costs because materials need not be transported to the next process location remotely. All the machines used in the whole process are in the same place.
  • Unloading hopper also has some excellent features. In addition to providing the flexibility of diverse configurations for material delivery, the unloading of the hopper can also supply power to the processing system specifically.

The stationary crushing plant and mobile cresar plant can cater to the diverse needs and operational requirements of various projects. The choice between these two types of crusher plants depends on different factors, such as the scale of operation, feed material characteristics, project logistics, etc.

How Does A Crusher Plant Work?

The crusher plant working mainly include several steps, such as feeding, crushing, screening, convenying, etc. You can check the process.

crushing process

Step 1: Feeding the Raw Materials

The process begins with the feeding of raw materials into the crusherplant. Large rocks, stones, or other materials are loaded into a hopper using excavators or loaders. The hopper funnels these materials into the primary crusher.

Step 2: Primary Crushing

In the primary crushing stage, the large materials are reduced to smaller, manageable sizes. The primary crusher, usually a jaw crusher machine or gyratory crusher, applies mechanical pressure to break down the raw materials. This initial crushing process reduces the size of the materials to make them suitable for further processing.

Step 3: Screening and Sorting

After primary crushing, the materials are transported to a vibrating screen. The screen separates the crushed materials based on size. Oversized materials are returned to the primary crusher for further reduction, while appropriately sized materials move on to the next stage.

Step 4: Secondary Crushing

The secondary crushing stage further reduces the size of the materials. Cone crushers or impact crushers are typically used in this stage. These crushers refine the materials into finer aggregates, ensuring they meet specific size requirements for different construction applications.

Step 5: Tertiary Crushing (If Necessary)

In some cases, a tertiary crushing stage is required to achieve the desired material size and shape. Tertiary crushers, such as vertical shaft impact crushers(VSI crushers), finely crush the materials, enhancing their quality and uniformity.

Step 6: Conveying and Storing

Once the materials have undergone the necessary crushing stages, they are conveyed to storage areas or directly to the project site. Conveyor belts or trucks transport the final aggregates, ensuring they are readily available for use in construction projects.

From feeding raw materials to delivering final aggregates, each stage plays a critical role in producing high-quality construction materials. You can watch the following crusher plant video to clearly understand the process.
