Mobile Crushing Advantages NO.1
If the mountain won’t come to Mohammed, then Mohammed must come to the mountain. This rather well-worn expression is perhaps
the best way to sum up the current trend for mobile systems in the world of crushing and screening. Well, “current” may be
an exaggeration, as mobile tracked crushing plants that work at the rock face have been around for 20 years, but the
quarrying and mining businesses doesn’t like to rush into things, and only now are mobile crushers challenging stationary
crushing plants.
Stationary primary crushers, as their name suggests, are permanently located in one site, often some distance from the
quarry or mine work face, and are serviced with rock/ore by a system of attendant off-highway haulers. Although effective,
one issue with this approach is the cost of the haulage — which can represent more than half of all costs (drilling, blasting,
loading, crushing, etc).

With a continual need to increase efficiency and reduce costs, mine and quarry owners have, rightly, seen haulage as an area
where cost reductions can be made. Moving the fixed primary crusher into the quarry/pit — reducing the haul distance — and
replacing older smaller haulers with larger, newer ones have achieved these savings. But this is, at best, only a halfway
measure — why not eliminate the haul (and the haulers) altogether? Mobile crushing equipment allows this to happen…
