What Is a Mobile Crushing and Screening Plant?

A mobile crushing and screening plant is a movable material-processing system that combines crushing, screening and conveying equipment on one or more mobile chassis.

Compared with a conventional stationary plant, mobile equipment can reduce permanent foundation requirements and make relocation between working areas easier.

Depending on the required process, a mobile plant can perform:

  • Primary crushing
  • Secondary crushing
  • Fine crushing
  • Product screening
  • Closed-circuit crushing
  • Multi-size aggregate production
  • Construction waste processing

A project may use one mobile unit for a simple crushing duty or several mobile units connected together to form a complete crushing and screening line.

Main Configurations and Equipment Options

The crusher type should be selected according to material hardness, feed size, required product size and the position of the unit in the crushing circuit.

How Does a Mobile Crushing and Screening Plant Work?

The working process varies according to the selected equipment configuration.

A typical mobile crushing and screening operation follows these steps:

  1. Raw material is loaded into the feeding unit.
  2. The feeder delivers material evenly to the primary crusher.
  3. Large particles are reduced to a suitable intermediate size.
  4. Material is transferred to secondary crushing or directly to screening.
  5. The vibrating screen separates material into the required size fractions.
  6. Qualified products are discharged by belt conveyors.
  7. Oversized material can be returned to the crusher when a closed circuit is required.

The complete process should be designed according to:

  • Maximum feed size
  • Material hardness
  • Material abrasiveness
  • Required capacity
  • Final product size
  • Number of finished product sizes
  • Closed-circuit requirements
  • Site layout
  • Transport conditions

Main Components

Depending on the configuration, a mobile crushing and screening plant may include:

  • Mobile chassis
  • Vibrating feeder
  • Jaw crusher
  • Impact crusher
  • Cone crusher
  • Vibrating screen
  • Belt conveyors
  • Transfer chutes
  • Hydraulic support system
  • Electrical control system
  • Lubrication system
  • Dust-control components

Not every mobile unit contains all of these components.

For example, a mobile screening station mainly performs classification, while a complete multi-stage mobile plant may use separate primary crushing, secondary crushing and screening units.

Typical Mobile Crushing and Screening Process

A mobile crushing and screening plant can be configured as a single-stage or multi-stage system according to material properties, feed size and final product requirements.

A typical overall process is:

Feeding → Primary Crushing → Secondary Crushing → Screening → Finished Aggregate

For hard-rock applications, a common configuration is:

Mobile Jaw Crusher → Mobile Cone Crusher → Mobile Vibrating Screen

This configuration is suitable for materials such as granite, basalt, river pebble and quartzite.

For limestone, construction waste and other suitable medium-hard materials:

Mobile Jaw Crusher → Mobile Impact Crusher → Mobile Vibrating Screen

Where the incoming material size is already suitable for direct impact crushing, the primary jaw crushing stage may be omitted.

For closed-circuit production:

Mobile Crusher → Mobile Vibrating Screen → Oversize Return → Mobile Crusher

Qualified material leaves the system as finished aggregate, while oversized particles are returned for further crushing.

The final process should be selected according to material characteristics, feed size, required capacity, final product specifications and site conditions.

These specifications describe the current ZDM mobile screening station configurations.

A complete mobile crushing plant will have different technical parameters depending on the selected crusher, feeder, screen, conveyors and chassis arrangement.

For project-specific equipment selection, the material type, maximum feed size, required capacity and final product size should be confirmed first.

How to Select the Right Mobile Crushing Plant

Mobile crushing equipment should be selected according to the entire production process rather than nominal crusher capacity alone.

Important project information includes:

  • Material type
  • Maximum feed size
  • Required capacity
  • Final product size
  • Number of finished aggregate sizes
  • Material hardness
  • Material abrasiveness
  • Moisture condition
  • Project location
  • Site terrain
  • Transport conditions
  • Relocation frequency

For Hard Rock

A typical combination is:

Mobile Jaw Crusher + Mobile Cone Crusher + Mobile Screen

This configuration is generally suitable for granite, basalt, quartzite, river pebble and similar hard materials.

For Limestone and Recycling

A common configuration is:

Mobile Jaw Crusher + Mobile Impact Crusher + Mobile Screen

Impact crushing can provide good particle shape for many aggregate and recycling applications.

For Screening-Only Projects

Where the upstream material has already been crushed to a suitable size, a mobile screening station may be sufficient without an integrated crusher.

The final configuration should be determined from the actual process requirements rather than selecting equipment only by price or theoretical capacity.
