Benefits of Portable Crushing Plants over Stationary Plants
by Stephen Adams SEOOver the past decade, portable crushing plants have gained
ground, offering quarry owners and mining contractors an incredible amount of versatility
and cost efficiency. Being compact, self-driven, and mobile enabled, these
crushers operate close to the mining site, eliminating the need of many dump
trucks and long conveyer belts to transport the final product from the crushing
plant. Another great thing about portable crusher plants is that they can be set
up within a day, which considerably reduces residual losses.
There are many benefits of portable crushing plants over
stationary plants. Some of the major ones are discussed below:
Operating Costs
The operating cost of portable crushing plant is far less as
compared to stationary plants. For starters, since these crushers eliminate the
need for transportation, a tremendous amount of money is saved. Apart from
crushing the material on-site, the portable crushing plant is also capable of
transporting the final product by itself, or you can choose to dump it in a
truck, for which it has a long frame. Moreover, these plants don’t incur high
costs for setting up.
Versatile Configuration
The three basic operations performed by a portable crushing
plant include pre-screening, fine screening, and crushing. It has a discharge
hopper that is used to crush, screen, and transfer the final product all at
once. Thanks to its powerful diesel generator, the portable crushing plant is
able to handle even the most difficult and challenging tasks. Adding to its
versatility, the flexible configuration makes it highly preferred equipment for
a wide range of applications.
Flexibility
The high flexibility of portable crushing plants provides
mining contractors and quarry owners with a chance to enjoy great cost
efficiency. Being smaller in size and more mobile as compared to stationary
plants, they can be easily moved between sites. This is especially beneficial
for those companies that have several quarries or mining sites in a particular
area. They can invest in just one or two portable crushing plants, depending
upon the magnitude of production, along with trailers and trucks, and perform
crushing and screening tasks in all the sites.
Moreover, thanks to their compressed features, they have
very small gestation period, after commissioning. There are also the benefits
of adaptability to plant configuration and capacities when the nature of feed
is changed.
Efficiency
As mentioned before, the material fed to the portable
crushing plant goes through three different stages, each having almost similar
working principles, but specific features. In most of the portable crushing
plants, the jaw crusher is used as the primary crushing equipment, which is
known for producing high-quality final product, multi-functionality, and high
efficiency. The plant, as a whole, has a sturdy structure, capable of
delivering reliable performance and high efficiency in multiple industry sectors.
These are the benefits that portable crushing plants have
over stationary plants. However, there are certain areas where stationary
crushing plants outperform the portable plants, including feed size, higher
output in a single operation, an integrated system of several crushing and
screening units, and several others. It is best that you consider the volume
and needs of your mining and quarry operations before you decide to invest in a
portable or stationary crushing plant.
