What is Crusher Plant and How to Set Up it

If you have mines, quarry, building construction company, or you are a building materials suppliers, the crushing plant is not unfamiliar to you at all. If you are none of all above, never mind. I will explain you about it in detail.

What is Crusher Plant?

The question of “what is crushing plant” is the most common questions in FAQs. Actually, a crushing plant for sale, is a series equipment where various types of rocks, stones, ore, and other materials are brought to be processed and transformed into specific sizes or shapes for a variety of uses.

The primary purpose of a screening and crushing plant is to reduce the size of the raw material or aggregate and prepare it for further processing or final product manufacturing. However, what is the usages of the final product? It is associated with the wide applications of the crushing plants for sale. Learn more about in the following description.

If you determine the application field of your crusher screening plant, then you need to consider the configuration of the crusher and screening plant and which one to choose?

What Machinery is Equipped in The Crushing Plant?

Crushing plants typically consist of several components, including a primary crusher, secondary crushers, screens, feeders, conveyors, and control systems.

• The primary crusher, often a jaw crusher or a gyratory crusher, is responsible for reducing the size of the material to a manageable size.
• Secondary crushers, such as cone crushers or impact crushers, further break down the material into smaller pieces.
• Screens are used to separate the different sizes of crushed material and remove any unwanted particles. Feeders are responsible for supplying the material to the crushers and maintaining a consistent flow.
• Conveyors are used to transport the processed material between different stages of the crushing process or to the final product storage.

Regardless of the type of crushing plants, the main crusher equipment mentioned above is required, and other components are determined based on specific crushing needs. For example, if you only need a mobile jaw crusher plant for primary crushing, you may not require additional screening and conveyor systems. Below, I will introduce several types of crushing plants for sale by combining the crushing configurations, mainly focusing on AIMIX.

Choose Stationary VS Mobile Type Crushing Plants for Business

When deciding between a mobile-type or stationary-type crushing plants setup, it’s important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option.

• Mobile-type screening and crushing plant offers the advantage of being easily transportable, cost-effective, and capable of quick relocation to various work sites. It provides flexibility in terms of being able to move the equipment as needed.
• However, it does require regular maintenance and may consume more fuel. Additionally, the processing capacity may be limited compared to stationary ones.

• On the other hand, stationary crusher screening plant is typically situated in a fixed location, eliminating the need for frequent relocations. This setup provides stability and a dedicated crushing area.
• However, it lacks the mobility and flexibility of mobile plants, and establishing a permanent location for a stationary crushing plant is necessary.

Choosing between a mobile or stationary crushing plant depends on your specific requirements. Mobile screen crusher plant is well-suited for short-term projects that involve frequent site changes, while stationary crusher and screening plant is recommended for long-term projects that involve consistent operations in a single location. Consider factors such as project duration, mobility needs, processing capacity, and maintenance requirements to make an informed decision.

How to Set Up A Crushing Plant?

It is not an easy thing to set up a crushing plant for a starter. Here are some basic steps you can follow up:

Obtain Quarry Permit

Before operating a quarry, it is necessary to obtain a quarry permit from the local government, which allows the extraction of rocks, sand, and other materials from the quarry.
Select a site: Choose a site that is easily accessible for transportation of raw materials and finished products, while ensuring the availability of stable water sources and electricity supply.

Design the crushing plant

Plan the layout of the crushing plant, including the size and location of the feed hopper, types and quantities of crushers, conveyor belt systems, etc. The manufacturer would help you design it.

Purchase equipment

Procure the necessary crushing equipment such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, screens, etc., and possibly auxiliary equipment like conveyors and control systems.

Install equipment

Construct the crushing plant according to the design plan, including equipment assembly and on-site installation.

Obtain permits

To operate the crushing plant, acquire relevant permits from the local government, such as factory operation permits and waste discharge permits.

Train operators

Provide professional training to the operators of the crushing equipment to ensure safe production and efficient operation of the crushing plant equipment.

Start operations

Once everything is in place, start the crushing process. Regularly monitor the equipment and perform necessary maintenance and adjustments to ensure efficient operation of the plant.

It is crucial to strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations when establishing a crushing plant. Consider hiring professional consultants or engineering companies to assist with the design and planning process.
