Mobile crushers are equipment that has been in use for many years mainly in the sector of limestone quarries. They provide a benefit of “belt conveyor” transport, eliminating tuck haulage which has resulted in significant cost savings over the years.
Mobile plants used for screening(cribado) and crushing are also used commonly in mining fields and to prepare construction materials on construction sites. These include building construction and engineering sites such as roadways, tunnels, and highways. On mining sites, they are also used to crush stones where overburden, old-spoil dumps, and blasted-raw materials are processed. Dependent on the material types and stone products, a suitable configuration for a mobile crushing and screening plant will be set.
The Categories Of Stone Screening And Crushing Plants
The Stone Crushing and Screening Plants are currently available in two types. These include:
– Mobile screening and crushing plants
– Fixed screening and crushing plants
The stone screening and crushing characteristics work on a similar working principle. However, depending on what they are used for they are separated into two different categories. The fixed screening and crushing plants are typically used in areas where the machinery is needed over an extended period of time. One of these examples where a fixed plant is better suited is on a mining site. The mobile crushing and screening plants are typically used in an area where the processing time is relatively short. An example of this typically includes different types of construction sites, including commercial and residential.
Screening and crushing plants are mainly used and produced according to the areas and materials that these plants are used for. The primary equipment for screening and crushing plants include crushers, screens, feeders, tapes, and washing units (optional).
The Importance Of Screening Operations
Screening with the use of sieves is vital for the majority of quarrying and mining operations(operaciones mineras). Different materials or stones that are extracted from most areas are usually not found in their pure form. In many cases, these materials are combined with other materials or structures. For this reason, it is important to expose these materials to a process of separation. Another important part of the process includes washing the stones. Through this process, the product is cleaned and prepared for the next stage.
Another important factor in sieving processes is the hardness and size of the materials. For this reason, it is important to choose the correct equipment. When the machine operates in specific capacities, sieving is easy to perform. One of the other added benefits associated with most of these plants is that they come with technical-service(servicio tecnico) support. The manufacturers of these plants provide necessary assistance and guidance to their customers when it comes to the installation of the plant and any breakdown situations.
Screening and crushing plants also go by the name of Concave Facilities. Due to the capabilities of screening and crushing plants, it becomes possible to break stone and other materials down into much smaller dimensions, making these usable for the next stage of the process.
