Different Types of Mobile Crushers

Mobile crusher or commonly known as mobile crushing plant is a crushing machine, especially suitable for crushing and recycling directly on-site. The fixed crushers are very efficient crushers, but the mobile crushers benefit from their mobility. The mobile crushers can get from one job site to another and easily move around a job site. However, all known crushing machines, such as jaw crusher, cone crusher, roll crusher and impact crusher, are being modified to mobile, by adding tracks or wheels. Some crushers are made to be towed by a purpose vehicle, which is also an innovative and mobile solution. Here are some types of mobile crushers.

Mobile Crushing Plant – The mobile crusher or mobile crushing plant is a large piece of crushing and screening equipment, which combines conveying, screening and crushing processes. Usually, the maximum feeding size is about 1500 mm and has a maximum production capacity of 500 t/h. The mobile crushing plant is suitable for crushing and disposal of construction waste, railway, highway and many other projects. The design of the mobile crushing plant is so that it can completely adapt to all mobile crushing requirements and reduce the operation costs. The mobile crushing plant usually comes with vibrating feeder, cone crusher, jaw crusher, impact crusher and belt conveyor.

Crawler Mobile Crusher – The crawler mobile crusher has a maximum production capacity of 450 t/h and plays a big role in many applications, including quarry, mining, quartz sand, dry mortar, concrete mixing and coal exploiting applications. It is identical with the mobile crushing plant, with the difference of using tracks, not wheels. The crawler mobile crushing plant has the advantages of being light in weight, compact size, ability to work in narrow spaces, reliable operation and provides fuel savings.

Mobile Jaw Crusher – Mobile jaw crusher is a crushing machine used for primary crushing, with a maximum input size of 1000 mm. It is able to process iron ore, gold ore, manganese ore, limestone, basalt, rocks, marble, river stone, gravel and many others. The jaw crusher usually uses wheels, so it is suitable for the mining, quarry, mixing, building, railway and many other applications. The jaw crusher has a high-capacity and provides the operators with a reliable and very efficient operation.

Mobile Cone Crusher – Mobile cone crusher is a secondary crusher and is known for its high-performance. This secondary crusher is widely used in the mining, quarry, mixing and building construction industry, for processing iron, copper, gold, manganese, limestone, granite, gravel, coal, marble, rocks, quarts and many other materials. Thanks to its lightweight and compact design, the cone crusher provides an incredible crushing performance.

A Brief History Of Cone Crusher

A cone crusher is a type of crushing equipment able to crush all types of medium-hard mineral rocks and stones. The cone crusher offers many advantages over the other crushing machines, such as low energy consumption, reliable and efficient operation and a high crushing ratio. Despite being used in many industries, it is most commonly used in the construction and the mining industry. With the rapid development of the construction and mining machines, the cone crusher is being modified constantly in order to become the perfect crushing tool. However, it has not always been a common crushing tool. Continue through this article and learn something about the history of the cone crusher.

The first cone was developed in USA in 1878 and put in use in the next year. However, many believe that the original design of the cone crusher known today is a copy of the former Soviet union spring type cone crusher. Despite those rumors, Milwaukee Symons brothers are believed to be the designers and inventors of the spring cone crusher, so it is known as Symons cone crusher. By the end of the 19th century, USA began to use the cone crusher increasingly. After many years of constant development and research, the under pressure problem of the spring cone crusher was solved and today the cone crusher is one of the most efficient crushing machines.

The first hydraulic cone crusher was developed in 1948 by an American company. This cone crusher is able to expel some uncrushable materials that have somehow entered the crushing chamber and its discharging gap is adjustable. Until 1970s, an automatic controller was developed and featured in the hydraulic cone crusher. This was only the beginning. Through the following years, the cone crushers was significantly improved in all terms; efficiency, features, technologies, energy consumption, maintenance costs, etc.

Today, there are many different types of cone crushers, of which every type is most suitable for a specific range of applications and materials. The importance of this type of crushing machine has significantly increased, because of its effectiveness and surprisingly low operating costs. The cone crusher is able to crush hard, medium-hard and many different types of materials, while providing a reliable and efficient crushing operation. When compared with the jaw crusher, the cone crusher has a more stable structure, higher efficiency, economical operation and is adjustable, unlike the jaw crusher. Flexible and efficient, the cone crusher is widely utilized in many various industries.
