Mobile Crusher Selection: Jaw, Cone or Impact Crushers?

Directory

Mobile crushers are integrated crushing equipment that combines feeding, crushing, screening, and conveying. They require no fixed installation, allowing for flexible movement and saving on transportation and construction costs.

Common mobile crushers include mobile jaw crushers, mobile cone crushers, and mobile impact crushers.

Mobile crushing plant can be quickly applied to construction waste processing, sand and gravel aggregate production, suburban mining, road construction, tunnel and water projects, etc.

Based on different construction environments and operational needs, our company mainly promotes tracked mobile crushers and wheeled mobile crushers.

Tracked mobile crusher & wheeled mobile crusher

Mobile jaw crusher

If you need to process materials of varying hardness such as granite, basalt, gold ore, concrete, limestone, and dolomite, you can choose a mobile jaw crusher.

The mobile crusher plant serves as primary coarse crushing equipment for ores. It mainly relies on the compressive force of the fixed and movable jaw plates to break up large rocks.

Maximum feed size (mm) 480–700 500–800
Capacity (t/h) 70–350 85–650

The advantages of this mobile stone crusher include:

  • Excellent feeding capacity: Max feed size up to 800 mm, suitable for large raw stone, solving the challenge of crushing oversized raw materials.
  • Outstanding crushing capacity: The crushing force is increased by about 20–30% compared with ordinary jaw crushers. It can process high-hardness ores and is suitable for a wider range of materials.
  • Stable operation: Robust machine structure, excellent impact resistance, and reliable operating conditions.
  • Low maintenance costs: The fixed jaw plate is made of rigid plate, and the movable jaw plate is cast in one piece, resulting in less wear, fewer failures, and simple daily maintenance.

However, this mobile crushing equipment produces many small and irregular particles, which is very limited for producing aggregates with uniform particle size.

Mobile cone crusher

If your project involves hard ores such as river pebbles, granite, iron ore, or gold ore, then a mobile cone crusher is the best choice.

The mobile crushing equipment is used for secondary, tertiary, medium, or fine crushing. The mobile crusher plant uses the compression between a rotating cone and fixed liners to crush the stone.

Model Maximum feed size (mm) Minimum output size (mm) Capacity(t/h)
Tracked mobile cone crushers 280–360 8–51 80–250

The advantages of this mobile crushing plant include:

  • Uniform output particle size: The finished products have regular particle size and can be directly used as high-quality manufactured sand.
  • Reliable safety protection: Equipped with hydraulic overload protection, it automatically avoids foreign objects entering the machine, preventing blockage and damage.
  • Excellent finished product quality: Low needle-like and flaky content and excellent crushed material quality.
  • Low wear and tear: Wear-resistant parts have a long service life, suitable for long-term full-load operation.

This mobile crushing machine has limited capacity for processing oversized materials. Due to its complex and precise structure, installation and maintenance require strict control over accuracy. In addition, overly wet materials may lead to blockage, so we do not recommend using this crusher.

Mobile impact crusher

If you want to perform medium to fine crushing of soft materials such as limestone, construction waste, concrete, dolomite, bluestone, and slag, a mobile impact crusher is your top choice.

Mobile impact crusher is medium to fine crushing equipment. It mainly uses high-speed rotating hammers to impact the stone against the impact plates to achieve crushing.

Maximum feed size (mm) 400–600 350–700
Capacity (t/h) 60–300 70–280

Advantages of mobile crusher machine:

  • Excellent output particle shape: Most are cubic particles with good aggregate quality. And the content of needle-like particles is no more than 10%.
  • Outstanding crushing efficiency: Output particle size is adjustable. It realizes single-stage crushing of medium to soft stone and simplifies the process.
  • Durable blow bars: Made of high-chromium alloy, it is wear-resistant and impact-resistant, with a service life 2–3 times longer than ordinary blow bars.
  • Green and low-noise operation: It generates little dust, vibration, and noise, meeting high environmental requirements.

This mobile stone crusher is not suitable for crushing very hard or rough materials, and should ideally not be used with highly corrosive materials, as these materials can cause wear on the blow bars.

Performance comparison of 3 mobile crusher types

Mobile jaw crushers, mobile cone crushers, and mobile impact crushers differ in their material crushing fineness, applicable materials, and output materials.

Output size coarse fine medium to fine
Particle shape irregular consistent cubic
Maintenance frequency medium lower high
Best use primary crushing secondary crushing, tertiary crushing, medium or fine pieces secondary crushing and recycling

Mobile crushing lines with different configurations

A mobile crushing production line using only one type of equipment is usually not ideal. It can be configured by combining different machines to create a production line suitable for different materials.

  • 200 TPH Granite Crushing: Mobile jaw crusher + cone crusher + vibrating screen. Mainly used for crushing hard materials like basalt and quartz.
  • 150 TPH Limestone Crushing: Mobile jaw crusher + impact crusher + vibrating screen. Designed for crushing soft materials such as dolomite and gypsum.
  • 300 TPH Construction Waste Crushing: Mobile jaw crusher/mobile impact crusher + vibrating screen + sand making machine. Ideal for urban infrastructure and large-scale production of sand and gravel aggregates.
