Tire-Mounted Mobile Screening Station
Baichy Heavy Industry’s YDPZ series wheeled mobile screening stations feature a highly integrated "feeding-screening-conveying" system, providing a powerful, foundation-free, and ready-to-use mobile grading solution for medium-to-large stone processing plants. At its core, the equipment utilizes a customizable high-efficiency vibrating screen (with 0 to 4 decks) and can operate in seamless closed-loop coordination with wheeled mobile crushing stations. A single unit enables the one-stop, precision production of four types of high-value premium aggregates—0–5mm manufactured sand, 5–10mm fine crushed stone, 10–20mm crushed stone, and 20–30mm crushed stone—thereby slashing initial civil engineering investment costs by 30%–50% and reducing overall site-transfer costs by over 80%.
1. Eliminating the constraints of traditional foundations
Wheeled mobile screening stations break down spatial and temporal barriers for stone processing plants.
Traditional fixed screening lines often impose a heavy investment burden on small and medium-sized stone plants due to long construction periods, high logistics costs for relocation, and complex approval processes. Baichy Heavy Industry’s YDPZ series achieves rapid "plug-and-play" deployment by highly integrating heavy-duty circular vibrating screens, foldable conveyors, and a unified mobile chassis, eliminating the need for costly concrete foundation pouring. The unit can be towed directly to material stockpiles or alongside crushers for on-site sorting, drastically shortening raw material transport distances and cutting the comprehensive pre-production preparation time by more than 80%.
2. Precision grading creates premium value
Flexible 0–4 deck screen configurations meet the strictest standards for manufactured sand and aggregate.
The precision of aggregate grading and material cleanliness are the key factors determining whether a quarry's finished products can command a premium price. Baichy Heavy Industry’s wheeled screening equipment can be fitted with up to four decks of highly wear-resistant circular vibrating screens (such as the 3YK or 4YK series), allowing users to customize aperture sizes and mesh types for each deck according to specific project requirements. Driven by a high-frequency, high-amplitude exciter, material rapidly loosens and stratifies on the screen surface. This enables the precise, single-pass separation of four finished product grades—0–5mm manufactured sand, 5–10mm fine crushed stone (pea gravel), 10–20mm crushed stone, and 20–30mm crushed stone—along with one return material stream. The finished products feature uniform particle size and rounded shapes, while the unit's overall sorting efficiency increases by over 35%.
3. A Comparison of Two Approaches
Economic Analysis of Wheeled Mobile Screening Stations vs. Stationary Screening Systems.
When selecting equipment for a quarry, the total lifecycle operating cost is a primary consideration for mine owners. The table below provides a quantitative comparison of the key performance metrics for wheeled mobile screening stations versus stationary screening lines in actual stone processing operations:
| Evaluation Dimension | Stationary Screening System Configuration | Baichy Heavy Industry Wheeled Mobile Screening Station |
| Infrastructure & Construction | Requires large-scale reinforced concrete foundation pouring; construction takes 30–45 days and entails high civil engineering costs and lengthy environmental approval processes. | Features a heavy-duty steel chassis with integrated hydraulic support legs; simply level the unit on-site to begin operations—production can start within 24 hours. |
| Relocation & Transfer Costs | Foundations are difficult to dismantle, and steel structures often must be cut up and scrapped; relocating to a new site is equivalent to investing in an entirely new line, with a total turnaround time exceeding 15 days. | Can be towed directly by a truck tractor; folding conveyors are deployed and retracted via a hydraulic pump station, allowing for on-site relocation within 3–5 hours. |
| On-site Transport & Loss | Cannot operate close to the crushing face; requires long-distance transfer via conveyors or heavy-duty dump trucks, resulting in high transport costs and significant secondary dust pollution. | Capable of operating immediately adjacent to mobile crushing stations or raw material stockpiles; discharge is stockpiled on-site, cutting on-site logistics and transfer costs by over 40%. |
| Process Configuration Flexibility | Upgrading is extremely difficult, requiring re-welding of steel structures and conveyor modifications; once built, the on-site process layout cannot be altered. | Modular process design allows for seamless integration into closed- or open-circuit workflows with wheeled mobile jaw, impact, or cone crushers. |

Tire-Mounted-Mobile-Screening-Station
While high efficiency in inpidual units is the baseline, system-level process integration and optimal equipment matching are the keys to doubling the production capacity of aggregate plants. Baichy Heavy Industry’s wheeled screening stations are typically paired with wheeled mobile jaw, impact, or cone crushing stations to form closed-circuit or open-circuit multi-stage crushing and screening lines. In a typical 150 t/h granite crushing production line, large rocks undergo primary coarse crushing in a wheeled mobile jaw crushing station, are conveyed to a mobile cone crushing station for secondary fine crushing, and the resulting mixture finally enters the YDPZ1860 mobile screening station. Through precise separation using 3 or 4 screening decks, qualified finished products (0–5mm, 5–10mm, 10–20mm, and 20–30mm) are transported via multiple side conveyors to designated stockpiles, while oversized material (>30mm) is automatically returned to the cone crusher via a return conveyor for a second round of crushing. This closed-circuit, large-loop design not only eliminates the leakage of substandard material but also boosts the production line's single-pass output by over 20%.

4-in-one mobile crushing and screening plant
We firmly believe that authentic on-site operational data and genuine user feedback are the ultimate benchmarks for evaluating equipment quality and return on investment. In 2025, a major infrastructure contractor in Rwanda purchased a complete Baichy Heavy Industry YDPZ wheeled mobile crushing and screening line to supply roadbed materials and manufactured sand for high-standard local highway projects. The project utilized a YDPZ69-9638 mobile jaw crushing station for primary crushing and a YDPZ-HP300 hydraulic cone crushing station, with product grading handled by a YDPZ1860 wheeled mobile screening station equipped with three screening decks. Processing metamorphic sandstone with a Mohs hardness of 7.2, the entire system operated continuously and stably at a throughput of 150 tons per hour, with a daily operating schedule of 12 hours. The project produces high-quality manufactured sand (0–5 mm), fine crushed stone (5–10 mm), and concrete aggregates (10–20 mm and 20–30 mm). The product gradation and particle shape—specifically the content of flaky and elongated particles (under 8%)—fully meet the project's rigorous specifications, allowing the client to recoup the entire equipment investment within six months.
Recommended Applications: Medium-to-large-scale aggregate production lines; aggregate supply for major highway and railway infrastructure; screening of auxiliary materials for cement plants; mobile construction waste recycling.
Cautionary Note: If the feed material has high moisture content and contains more than 30% ultra-fine clay, it is recommended to install a sand washing/desliming system or a pre-vibrating grizzly screen ahead of the circular vibrating screen. This prevents clay from coating the stones, which would otherwise compromise screening efficiency.
FAQs:
Q1: How many aggregate sizes can a wheeled mobile screening station sort simultaneously?
A1: The number of finished product sizes depends on the number of screen decks installed. Generally, configuring *n* screen decks allows for the simultaneous separation of *n*+1 different particle sizes. Baichy Heavy Industry’s YDPZ mobile screening station supports up to four screen decks; for instance, a three-deck configuration can precisely produce four finished aggregate sizes (0–5 mm, 5–10 mm, 10–20 mm, and 20–30 mm), while the oversized material (oversize) can be returned upstream for further crushing as a fifth material stream.
Q2: Why pair a wheeled mobile screening station with a wheeled mobile crushing station in a stone processing plant?
A2: This combined operational model completely eliminates intermediate transportation costs and enables a fully closed-loop production process. The wheeled mobile crushing station handles primary, secondary, and tertiary crushing of the rock, while the wheeled mobile screening station manages final screening, classification, and the return of oversized material. The two units are highly integrated and synchronized in movement, allowing for simultaneous crushing and screening right at the mining face; this enables the rapid setup of a complete aggregate production line—capable of an hourly output of 50–800 tons—anywhere, anytime.
Q3: Will the screening station experience screen clogging when dealing with rainy weather or materials that are wet, sticky, or high in clay content?
A3: To address challenging conditions where wet, sticky, or high-clay materials tend to clog screen apertures, Baichy Heavy Industry offers specialized technical upgrades. We can equip the circular vibrating screen with bouncing ball cleaning devices, anti-clogging polyurethane screens, or high-frequency self-cleaning systems. These effectively prevent wet material from accumulating or sticking in the mesh, ensuring high throughput and continuous production capability even during the rainy season.
Q4: How should one choose between wheeled and tracked mobile screening stations?
A4: Selection depends primarily on the frequency of site relocation and road conditions. Wheeled mobile screening stations offer a price advantage and can be towed by a truck tractor for long-distance highway transport, making them ideal for engineering teams handling short-to-medium-term projects across different locations. In contrast, tracked mobile screening stations offer superior off-road capability, allowing them to navigate muddy or rugged terrain within the mining area without a towing vehicle; however, they generally have a higher purchase cost and cannot be driven long distances on public roads.
Q5: Is it convenient to replace the screens on the wheeled screening station? How long does a replacement take?
A5: Baichy Heavy Industry prioritizes ease of daily maintenance; our screens feature side-tensioning or quick-install clamping bar designs. Replacing a screen deck requires only two operators using specialized tools and can be completed within 1.5 to 2 hours. This significantly minimizes downtime when switching between screens of different specifications.
Q6: How does the wheeled screening station operate if the mining site is in a remote area without access to the external power grid?
A6: Baichy Heavy Industry’s YDPZ series supports dual-mode operation: diesel-electric hybrid and pure electric drive. For operations in remote, off-grid wilderness areas, the equipment can be fitted with a factory-installed diesel generator set from a leading brand (such as Cummins or Yuchai) to provide independent power for the vibrating screen and belt conveyor; once grid power becomes available on-site, the system allows for a one-touch switch to external mains power, directly cutting operating energy costs by more than 50%.
