A fixed crusher plant is a stationary facility used in quarries, mining, and construction to crush large rocks and ores into desired sizes. It is commonly used for long-term and large-scale projects.
Working Principle:
Fixed crusher plants consist of several key components and operate in the following stages:
- Feeding Unit: Raw materials are fed into the plant using a hopper or vibrating feeder.
- Primary Crusher: Large rocks are broken down into smaller pieces using a jaw crusher or impact crusher.
- Secondary Crusher: The material is further crushed using a cone crusher or secondary impact crusher.
- Tertiary Crusher (Optional): If finer material is needed, a tertiary impact crusher is used.
- Screening Unit: The crushed material is classified into different sizes using vibrating screens.
- Belt Conveyors: The processed material is transported to storage areas or directly for shipment.
Advantages:
- High Capacity: Can process large volumes of material.
- Low Operating Costs: Requires less maintenance and fuel compared to mobile plants.
- Quality Output: Screening ensures homogeneous and properly sized material.
- Durability: Built for long-term efficient operation.
Fixed crusher plants are ideal for long-term mining and construction projects, offering significant advantages in large-scale production.
