Mobile Crushing Station
Choose a mobile crushing station when the feed is 630 mm or less and the target is 40-250 t/h with frequent site moves. Choose a fixed crushing plant when the feed reaches 700-1000 mm and the target is 250 t/h or more on one site that will run for years.
What Is the Difference Between a Mobile Crushing Station and a Fixed Crushing Plant?
A mobile crushing station carries the feeder, crusher, screen and conveyor on one chassis; a fixed crushing plant installs the same machines separately on concrete foundations. Published figures for the two families sit in different ranges.
A tire-mounted mobile crushing station needs a trailer for traction, while a crawler station walks on its own tracks and needs no concrete foundation or conveyor gallery at the primary stage.
A fixed crushing plant needs a foundation under every machine in the flow, so moving the plant means building the foundation again. That single difference drives the rest of the decision.
Mobile Crushing Station vs Fixed Crushing Plant: Comparison Table
| Parameter | Mobile Crushing Station | Fixed Crushing Plant |
|---|---|---|
| Feed size | 425–630 mm on tire-mounted jaw stations | 350–1000 mm across published lines |
| Capacity band | 30–800 t/h mobile jaw; 80–800 t/h crawler screen | 30–600 t/h across published lines |
| Mounting | Wheeled chassis or hydraulic crawler tracks | Concrete foundation and steel structure |
| Relocation | Towed or self-propelled, no new foundation | Foundation rebuilt at the new site |
| Stage layout | One or two crushing stages on separate chassis | Feeder, jaw, cone and screens fixed in sequence |
| Published models | YDPZ57-8530 to YDPZ75-1142 jaw stations | PE400×600 to C160 jaw lines |
Three Thresholds That Settle Most Cases
• Feed above 700 mm: no published mobile crushing station takes that size, so the choice is a fixed crushing plant.
• Target above 250 t/h: published YDPZ tire-mounted stations stop at 130-250 t/h.
• A site that will be relocated: no foundation is rebuilt for a mobile crushing station.
Mobile Crushing Station
When Should You Choose a Mobile Crushing Station?
Choose a mobile crushing station when the crusher follows the material instead of the material travelling to the crusher. Tire-mounted YDPZ stations cover 40 t/h to 250 t/h with no foundation work.
| Model | Capacity | Crusher | Feeder or Screen | Max Feed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YDPZ57-8530 | 40–100 t/h | PE500×750 jaw | ZSW8530 feeder | 425 mm |
| YDPZ69-9638 | 80–150 t/h | PE600×900 jaw | ZSW9638 feeder | 500 mm |
| YDPZ75-1142 | 130–250 t/h | PE750×1060 jaw | ZSW1142 feeder | 630 mm |
| YDPZ900-1548 | 60–100 t/h | PYB900 cone | 3YK1548 screen | 115 mm |
| YDPZ160-1860 | 80–150 t/h | CS160 cone | 3YK1860 screen | 205 mm |
| YDPZ300-2160 | 130–250 t/h | HPC300 cone | 3YK2160 screen | 190 mm |
Crawler stations reach higher tonnage. A track-mounted jaw station takes 630 mm feed at 50-520 tph and discharges at 80-180 mm; a track-mounted impact station takes 600 mm feed at 100-500 tph for a 0-40 mm product.
Site conditions decide as much as capacity. A 30-60 t/h portable jaw station needs a working area of 30×15 m, and concrete carrying heavy reinforcement must have the steel removed before it is fed.
When Should You Choose a Fixed Crushing Plant?
Choose a fixed crushing plant when one site runs for years and the feed arrives coarse. Published Baichy lines step from 30 tph to 600 tph, and the jaw model grows with the tonnage.
| Published Line | Feed Size | Primary Stage | Secondary Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30–50 tph | ≤350 mm | PE400×600 jaw | PF1007 impact |
| 80–120 t/h | ≤500 mm | PE600×900 jaw | CS110 cone |
| 120–150 tph | ≤500 mm | PE600×900 jaw | CS160 cone |
| 150–200 tph | ≤630 mm | PE750×1060 jaw | CS160 and CS75 cone |
| 200–250 tph | ≤700 mm | C110 jaw | CS160 cone |
| 250–300 tph | ≤700 mm | C110 jaw | HP300 cone |
| 500–600 tph | ≤1000 mm | C160 jaw | HP300 cone |
A 150-200 tph line lists an LC3000X4000 hopper, a ZSW1100X4200 feeder, a PE750X1060 jaw, a CS160 cone, a CS75 cone and two 2YK1860 screens.
Capacity above 250 t/h is where the fixed crushing plant takes over. Published YDPZ tire-mounted stations stop at 130-250 t/h, because a mobile chassis frame is built for small and medium crushers.
Fixed Crushing Plant
FAQ: Mobile and Fixed Crushing Plants
1. Is a mobile crushing station more expensive than a fixed crushing plant?
Baichy's published comparison states that a mobile crushing station costs slightly more than a fixed crushing plant and carries higher maintenance cost. A mobile crushing station is the better match when investment allows it and the site is limited.
2. What is the maximum feed size for a mobile crushing station?
The maximum feed size for a tire-mounted jaw station is 630 mm, on the YDPZ75-1142 with its PE750X1060 jaw. A track-mounted jaw station also accepts 630 mm. Fixed lines above 250 tph accept 700-1000 mm feed, which no published mobile station covers.
3. Do mobile crushing stations need a concrete foundation?
No. A tire-mounted mobile crushing station is towed into position and a crawler station walks on its own tracks, so neither needs a concrete foundation or a conveyor gallery. A fixed crushing plant needs a foundation under every machine, and relocating it means rebuilding that foundation.
4. Can a mobile crushing station process construction waste?
Yes. A 30-60 t/h portable jaw station handles concrete blocks, bricks and tiles at a maximum feed size of 350 mm. Concrete carrying heavy reinforcement needs the steel removed first, and quartzite falls outside the range of that station.
5. How much capacity can a fixed crushing plant reach?
Published fixed lines reach 500-600 tph at 1000 mm feed with a C160 jaw and an HP300 cone. The range steps down through 250-300 tph on a C110 jaw and 150-200 tph on a PE750X1060 jaw with CS160 and CS75 cones.
