A mobile stone crusher plant is a portable equipment designed for crushing stones and rocks. It consists of various components such as a crusher (usually jaw crusher, impact crusher or cone crusher), a feeder, a conveyor belt system, and a screening unit. The mobile nature of these plants allows them to be easily transported to different locations, making them suitable for use in construction sites, quarries, and mining operations where stones need to be crushed on-site.
They offer flexibility and convenience as they can be quickly set up and started, and can move around to different areas as needed. Mobile stone crusher plants come in different sizes and capacities to meet the specific requirements of different projects. Now we will introduce wheel type mobile stone crusher from working principle, price, advantages and disadvantages.
How does a mobile stone crusher work?
A mobile stone crushing plant works in the following way:
Feeding Stage:
• Raw materials such as stones and rocks are loaded into the mobile plant either by a loader or other means. The material is fed into the hopper.
Crushing Stage:
• From the hopper, the material is transferred to the crusher. For example, in a jaw crusher, two jaws move back and forth to compress and break the material. The crushed material is then discharged from the crusher.
Conveying Stage:
• The crushed material is transported by a conveyor belt to the screening unit.
Screening Stage:
• The screening unit separates the crushed material into different sizes. Oversized materials may be returned to the crusher for further reduction. The properly sized materials are sent to stockpiles or for further processing.
Power Source:
• The mobile stone crusher plant is powered by a diesel engine or an electric motor, which drives the various components of the plant.
Throughout the process, the mobile plant can be easily moved to different locations as needed, making it highly versatile for different crushing applications.
Mobile stone crusher advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of a mobile stone crusher plant are as follows:
1. Strong mobility: It is mounted on a wheeled or tracked chassis, which can be easily moved from one site to another. This is especially useful for projects at different locations or in areas where the work site needs to be frequently changed. It has a short wheelbase and a small turning radius, enabling access to various operation areas.
2. Flexible combination: It can be flexibly combined with other equipment according to the specific needs of the crushing process. For example, it can be configured with different types of crushing chambers (such as jaw, impact, or cone crushers), vibrating screens, and conveyor belts to meet diverse crushing and screening requirements.
3. Strong adaptability: It can adapt to various working conditions, including remote locations and rough terrains. Moreover, its design, function, and process can be customized and adjusted to form a two or three-stage crushing and screening system based on client requirements.
4. Cost savings: Since it can be moved close to the production site, there is no need to transport the materials to a new site for crushing or processing, reducing material transportation costs.
5. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly: Some mobile crushers use diesel-electric engines or are even powered by renewable energy sources such as solar or wind, along with energy-efficient advanced control systems, reducing the environmental footprint and fuel consumption.
6. Operation safety: They are equipped with safety features like emergency stop switches, safety curtains, or barriers to protect workers from potential hazards and accidents during operation.
7. Easy to use and maintain: The controls are simple and easy to operate. Additionally, its components can be quickly disassembled and removed for routine maintenance, repair, and replacement of worn parts (such as filters or belts), as well as for machine inspections. This helps reduce downtime and allows operators to be alerted of potential issues in a timely manner.
8. Versatility: It can handle a wide range of materials, including various stones and rocks, and is suitable for applications in different industries such as mining, recycling, quarrying, and infrastructure demolition.
9. Quick setup and startup: Compared to fixed plants, mobile stone crusher plants can be set up and started relatively quickly, saving time and increasing work efficiency.
10.Space-saving: They are generally smaller and lighter than stationary plants, which helps save space, especially in areas where space is limited.
The disadvantages of a mobile stone crusher plant are as follows:
1. Cost: Generally more expensive than a fixed crusher plant. The cost of the mobile chassis, additional mobility features, and sometimes more complex engineering can drive up the initial purchase price.
2. Capacity limitations: May have lower production capacity compared to large fixed plants. This can be a drawback for very high-volume production requirements.
3. Maintenance challenges: The mobility components such as tracks or wheels and the complex mechanical systems can require more frequent maintenance and may be prone to breakdowns in harsh operating conditions. Repairing these components can be costly and time-consuming.
4. Size restrictions: The size of the mobile plant can limit the size of the materials it can handle. Larger rocks may need to be pre-crushed before being fed into the mobile crusher.
5. Fuel consumption: If powered by a diesel engine, it can have high fuel consumption, increasing operating costs.
6. Noise and vibration: Can generate significant noise and vibration during operation, which may require additional noise reduction measures and can be a nuisance in populated areas.
How much does a stone crusher cost
The price of a mobile stone crusher can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as:
1. Type and model:
Different types (e.g., jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher) and models have different prices. For example, a mini mobile stone crusher with a small capacity might cost a few thousand dollars, while a large, high-capacity, and advanced model could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Some common price ranges are:
• Mini or small-scale models: Around $1,500 to $10,000 or more.
• Medium-sized models for general construction or mining use: Typically in the range of $10,000 to $100,000.
• Large and high-performance models with significant capacity: Can range from $100,000 to several million dollars.
2.Capacity and performance:
Higher capacity and better performance usually come with a higher price. A crusher with a larger crushing capacity per hour will generally cost more. For instance, a crusher with a capacity of 200-300 tons per hour might cost in the range of $30,000 to $90,000 or more.
3. Manufacturer and brand:
Well-known and reputable manufacturers often charge a premium for their products due to better quality, advanced technology, and reliable after-sales service. Brands with a good market reputation and a history of producing quality equipment may have prices 10%-30% higher than less-known brands, but they also offer more assurance in terms of performance and durability.
4.Additional features and options:
Special features like advanced control systems, dust suppression mechanisms, or customization options can increase the price. For example, a mobile crusher with a built-in dust control system or the ability to be remotely controlled might cost more than a basic model. These additional features can add several thousand dollars to the overall price.
