Mobile crushers are track-mounted or wheeled rock crushing plants that are easily portable on and between production sites. These can be cost-efficient and highly productive machines &#; but you may have a few questions about their usage.

Mellott is here to help. Here are answers to five common questions about mobile rock crushers.
Mobile crushers are available in many types including mobile cone crushers, mobile jaw crushers, and numerous mobile screening plants. At Mellott, we build, distribute, and install a wide variety of mobile crushers that can be tailored to crush to nearly any specifications.
Our available mobile crusher brands include Metso Lokotraks such as the LT116, Eagle Portable Impact Plants, and Doppstadt Trommel Screens. We also design and fabricate our own plants, and even create some ourselves, including the MC300HPS-CC Portable Cone Plant. You can view our inventory of mobile crushers and available parts at crushers-plus.com.
In other words, why would you opt for a mobile crushing plant over a stationary crusher?
The answer is fairly obvious: mobile crushers and mobile screen units can be moved. They are easier to assemble, dissemble, and they can be shifted to different sites as situations change. Additionally, because they tend to be smaller and require less extensive work to set up, they incur a lower upfront cost. Their main drawback is that they may not be able to match the throughput of stationary crushing plants.
With those benefits and drawbacks in mind, it follows that there are certain scenarios when mobile crushers make more sense.
Mobile crushers are ideal when there are multiple sites that will require non-simultaneous crushing of similar materials. Let&#;s say that you&#;ll be crushing to stone #8 at one site this year, and that you anticipate doing the same at another site next year. A mobile crusher can be set up at the first site, then dissembled and passed to the other site as it&#;s needed.
Even if multi-site use isn&#;t likely, mobile crushers are often the best option when crushing will be a short-term activity. If crushing must be accomplished quickly, there may not be enough time to set up a stationary plant. If a crushing site will only be active for six months, a stationary plant may not be worth the investment. Short-term crushing lends itself to portable crushers.
If you&#;re considering ordering a mobile crusher, here&#;s what the process typically looks like.
First, our project application engineers consult with you to determine your needs. If you have a clear-cut idea of what you are after, that&#;s great &#; but even if you don&#;t, our team can help you identify the best crushing system for your project.
Next, we build your mobile crusher to your specifications. This generally takes between six-to-eight weeks, although the time will vary depending on your needs. A primary crusher takes the longest to assemble; secondary crushers require less, tertiary crushers still less, and so on down the line.
Finally, we transport the crusher to your site and offer setup and startup assistance. We prefer to test the machine out at the site to ensure that it&#;s covered under warranties.
If you are considering a mobile crusher, here&#;s why it makes sense to choose a machine from Mellott.
We have decades of experience in designing crushers to fit your needs and we have the ability to nail down exactly what our clients are looking for.
Other crusher suppliers only provide certain brands of equipment. We offer tailor-made portable equipment to suit the needs of any site. That means we can customize a machine to your needs. Take our MC300HPS-CC Portable Cone Plant, which includes a cone crusher, 3 deck horizontal screen, and multiple conveyors designed for our customers&#; needs, with other customizable features.
Finally, our biggest advantage in crushing comes from our own crushing teams. Whenever you work with Mellott you can rest assured that our recommendations reflect the most effective and efficient rock crushing practices with our in-house industry-grade mobile crushing equipment.
We created our mobile crusher product line because, decades ago, our contract crushing teams wanted better equipment. Instead of buying it from others, we began to construct it ourselves. Today, we&#;re able to create industry-leading machines that our own customers use. They offer us valuable feedback to continually improve.

Mobile crushing plants, also known as mobile crushers, are often used for their multiple capabilities, such as stone, waste and building material crushing. The main purpose of the plant is to reduce the size of larger rocks.
While standard crushing plants offer similar solutions, mobile crushing plants have added unique benefits &#; replacing stationary crushing systems as a first option, since they reduce the need for hauling, cut operational costs, and are easily movable on and between production sites.
Cost savings
A primary benefit of mobile crushing plants is that they can operate on-site, which eliminates the need to transport materials back and forth from a crushing plant. Mobile crushers can deliver the crushed product itself, significantly reducing transport costs if you were to use a static crushing system.
Unlike mobile crushers, stationary crushing plants require a significant amount of time to install, it may take weeks before it is even functional for use. Mobile crushers do not require instalments and can travel through all types of terrain &#; lowering processing and operating costs as well as transportation costs &#; which is due to the plant&#;s mobility, high work capacity and compactness.
Mobile crushers can crush materials, screen and then transport them to the right location &#; this is a process that would usually require three machines, meaning that the mobile crusher would save three times the cost of the usual procedure.
Levels of efficiency and the ability to adapt
Mobile crushers are the most advanced in crushing technology, offering higher levels of efficiency in comparison to standard crushers. No process is too difficult for a strong mobile operation, as they can position and re-position the machine to where they are working &#; reducing the requirement for excess machines when transporting materials.
While they can work on their own, mobile crushers can work with other machines and product requirements to offer a more flexible process. For example, a mobile jaw crusher provides personal customisation to meet the specific requirements of the customer. With flexible configuration, mobile jaw crushers can quickly meet any expected production targets &#; making mobile crushing plants a machine that can meet the needs of every job with ease.
Versatility
Along with the ability to crush materials, mobile crushing plants can carry out pre-screening and fine-screening, meaning the machine can screen, crush and dispose of materials at the same time, all while providing a level of mobility that allows for a much more versatile offering compared to static crushers.
How K&B Crushers can help
Here at K&B Crushers, each mobile concrete crusher for hire is fully equipped with its own dust suppression system. With a water supply, we can directly connect to each crusher to minimise dust and dampen down the crushed material as it is processed by the crushing equipment.
Our crushers offer their own board drive system, allowing for greater flexibility of optional crushing locations within a site boundary. With the ease of the mobility of these large machines, prime positioning for maximum site efficiency is always provided. We advise our clients on the most practical positioning of the crushing plant to help minimise both dust and noise to the site and the surrounding vicinity.
