Wheel-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plant

Portable Crushing and Screening Solution for Multi-Site Projects

  • Configurations: Jaw, impact, cone crusher and screening units
  • Mobility: Wheel-mounted chassis for towing and inter-site transport
  • Applications: Quarrying, aggregate production, road construction and recycling
  • Process: Primary crushing, secondary crushing, screening and closed-circuit production

LIPU wheel-mounted mobile crushing plants are portable crushing and screening systems designed for projects that need flexible relocation between different working sites.

Mounted on a wheeled or trailer-type chassis, the plant can be transported by tractor or towing vehicle and positioned close to the processing area. Different jaw, impact, cone and screening configurations can be selected according to material type, feed size, required capacity and final aggregate specifications.

Unlike crawler-mounted plants, which focus more on self-propelled movement inside rough quarry or mining terrain, wheel-mounted plants are particularly suitable for projects with usable site roads, periodic relocation and relatively stable working areas.

What Makes a Wheel-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plant Different?

A wheel-mounted mobile crushing plant combines crushing, screening and conveying equipment on a transportable wheeled chassis.

Its main advantage is not continuous self-propelled movement. Instead, it is designed to simplify transportation and setup between separate project locations.

Main wheel-mounted mobile crushing plant configurations

A wheel-mounted plant is commonly selected when:

  • Equipment needs to serve several project sites
  • Road transport between sites is practical
  • Relocation happens periodically rather than continuously
  • Working ground is relatively level
  • Permanent foundations are not desirable
  • The project duration is temporary or medium-term
  • A tractor or towing vehicle is available

Depending on the process, one mobile unit can perform a single crushing duty, while several wheel-mounted units can form a complete multi-stage production line.

Where Do Wheel-Mounted Plants Work Best?

Wheel-mounted crushing plants are particularly suitable for projects where equipment mobility is important, but the machine does not need to move continuously inside difficult terrain.

Typical project types include:

  • Quarry aggregate production
  • Road construction projects
  • Railway aggregate production
  • Temporary crushing sites
  • Construction waste recycling
  • Concrete recycling
  • Mining ore pre-crushing
  • Multi-site aggregate production

For contractors operating at several locations, wheel-mounted equipment can reduce the need to build a complete stationary plant at every project site.

It is also useful where the crushing system may remain in one location for weeks or months before being moved to the next project.

Typical materials processed by wheel-mounted mobile crushing plants

Typical materials include:

  • Granite
  • Basalt
  • Limestone
  • River pebble
  • Quartzite
  • Andesite
  • Diabase
  • Iron ore
  • Construction waste
  • Concrete
  • Other suitable medium-hard and hard materials

The correct crusher should be selected according to material hardness and abrasiveness.

For example:

  • Granite and basalt: jaw crusher + cone crusher
  • River pebble and quartzite: jaw crusher + cone crusher
  • Limestone: jaw crusher or impact crusher
  • Construction waste: jaw crusher or impact crusher
  • Concrete recycling: impact crusher is commonly considered where product shape and liberation are important
  • Hard mining ore: jaw crusher + cone crusher

The final configuration should always be based on actual feed characteristics and finished product requirements.

How Is a Wheel-Mounted Plant Transported and Set Up?

A wheel-mounted mobile crushing plant is normally transported between project sites using a tractor or towing vehicle.

After arrival, the equipment is positioned on prepared ground and stabilized before production begins.

A typical setup sequence includes:

  1. Transport the plant to the working area.
  2. Position the chassis on firm and relatively level ground.
  3. Deploy support legs or stabilizing structures.
  4. Unfold or connect belt conveyors.
  5. Connect power and control systems.
  6. Check feeder, crusher and screen settings.
  7. Start the equipment according to the operating sequence.
  8. Adjust material flow after stable operation is reached.

This setup method is particularly suitable for projects where equipment remains at one site for a period of time and then moves to another location.

Compared with a stationary crushing plant, the amount of permanent civil construction can be reduced.

How Does a Wheel-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plant Work?

The exact working process depends on whether the plant is configured for primary crushing, secondary crushing or combined crushing and screening.

Wheel-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plant(images 1)

A typical process follows these stages:

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

For hard-rock applications:

Wheel-Mounted Jaw Crusher → Wheel-Mounted Cone Crusher → Vibrating Screen

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

For limestone and recycling projects:

Wheel-Mounted Jaw Crusher → Wheel-Mounted Impact Crusher → Vibrating Screen

Where the incoming feed size is already suitable for direct impact crushing, the jaw crushing stage may not be required.

For closed-circuit production:

Crusher → Vibrating Screen → Oversize Return → Crusher

Qualified products are discharged to stockpiles, while oversized particles are returned for additional crushing.

Main Components and Chassis Layout

A typical wheel-mounted mobile crushing plant may include:

  • Wheel or trailer chassis
  • Feed hopper
  • Vibrating feeder
  • Jaw crusher, impact crusher or cone crusher
  • Vibrating screen
  • Main belt conveyor
  • Side belt conveyors
  • Hydraulic power system
  • Electrical control system
  • Lubrication system
  • Support legs
  • Access platforms
  • Safety guards

Not every configuration contains all of these components.

A primary jaw crushing unit, for example, focuses mainly on feeding and primary crushing, while a combined unit may include both crushing and screening equipment on the same mobile chassis.

Wheel-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plant Technical Parameters

The following configurations are currently available for combined wheel-mounted crushing and screening applications.

The two configurations use different secondary crushers:

  • MF1010E46: impact crushing configuration
  • MB900E57: cone crushing configuration

Actual output depends on material hardness, feed gradation, crusher setting, screen opening and operating conditions.

For project selection, LIPU should confirm the raw material, maximum feed size, required capacity and final product specifications.

When Should You Choose Wheel-Mounted Instead of Crawler?

Wheel-mounted and crawler mobile plants are both portable crushing solutions, but they are designed for different movement requirements.

A wheel-mounted plant is generally more suitable when:

  • Projects are connected by usable roads
  • Equipment moves between separate sites
  • Relocation is periodic rather than continuous
  • Working ground is relatively level
  • A tractor or towing vehicle is available
  • Lower chassis complexity is preferred
  • The plant serves several construction or aggregate projects

A crawler mobile plant is generally more suitable when:

  • The working face changes frequently
  • The terrain is uneven or difficult
  • The equipment must move independently inside the quarry or mine
  • Frequent short-distance relocation is required
  • Towing equipment is inconvenient

The decision should be based on how the plant will actually move during the project, not only on crusher capacity.

How to Select the Right Wheel-Mounted Configuration

The correct configuration depends on the complete production requirement.

Before selecting equipment, confirm:

  • Raw material
  • Maximum feed size
  • Required capacity
  • Final product sizes
  • Number of finished aggregate sizes
  • Material hardness
  • Material abrasiveness
  • Moisture condition
  • Project duration
  • Site road conditions
  • Transport frequency
  • Required crushing stages

For primary hard-rock crushing, a wheel-mounted jaw crusher is normally the starting point.

For secondary hard-rock crushing, a cone crusher is usually more suitable.

For limestone and recycling applications, an impact crusher may provide better product shape.

Where several finished aggregate sizes are required, a vibrating screen should be included in the system.

The final equipment selection should be based on the complete crushing circuit rather than one crusher model alone.
