River stone crushing
In the sand and aggregate industry, river pebbles are renowned for their high hardness (exceeding 7 on the Mohs scale) and high silica content, making them a universally acknowledged "tough nut to crack." For medium-scale production lines with an output of 100–150 tons per hour (tph), traditional stationary crushing lines often face critical pain points: difficult permitting processes, high relocation costs, and lengthy foundation construction cycles. In this context, the YMC106 Track-Mounted Mobile Jaw Crushing Station has emerged as the industry's recognized "standard solution."
I. Why Choose the YMC106?
It is custom-engineered specifically for crushing hard rock. Equipped with a jaw crusher featuring a large 1060 × 700 mm feed opening, it not only effortlessly processes large river pebbles but also—thanks to wear-resistant components made of high-manganese steel—significantly minimizes the abrasive wear caused by the pebbles on the machinery. Its core advantage lies in its "mobility"—requiring no concrete foundation, it can be driven directly onto the site and begin operations immediately, with the crushed finished product conveyed via belt directly to the secondary crushing stage.
Applicable Scenarios:
• Simultaneous extraction and crushing operations at river dredging sites.
• Operations at scattered or decentralized sites within infrastructure projects.
• Short-term projects requiring frequent relocation between sites.

II. Why is the YMC106 the Preferred Choice for 100–150 tph Solutions?
Output Matching: The theoretical capacity of the YMC106 ranges from 150 to 300 tph; however, when crushing extremely hard river pebbles—factoring in the influence of the discharge opening setting and feed particle size—its actual stable output falls within the range of 100–180 tph. This range perfectly meets operational requirements of 100–150 tph while providing a 20% operational buffer. This effectively prevents the machine from running at full load continuously over extended periods, thereby extending its service life.
Material Adaptability: River pebbles are characterized by their smooth surfaces and extreme hardness. The YMC106 employs a deep-cavity crushing principle to achieve a high crushing ratio. Furthermore, the angles of its jaw plates have been optimized to effectively prevent river pebbles from "slipping" or bouncing upward within the crushing chamber, thereby ensuring consistent crushing efficiency. Terrain Adaptability: The hydraulically driven tracked chassis boasts exceptional climbing capabilities, delivering performance that far surpasses wheeled equipment on soft, rugged terrains such as riverbanks.

III. Solution Comparison: Crawler-type (YMC106) vs. Wheel-type (Mobile Jaw Crusher)
| Comparison Dimension | Crawler-type Mobile Jaw Crusher (YMC106) | Wheel-type Mobile Jaw Crusher |
| Mobility Method | Self-contained hydraulic drive; wireless remote-controlled movement | Requires a tractor unit for towing and relocation |
| Site Requirements | Extremely Low: Large crawler ground contact area; adaptable to soft or rugged terrain | Moderate to High: Requires a level site; hydraulic outriggers required for stabilization during operation |
| Deployment Speed | Instant Operation: No foundation required; ready for operation within 1 hour | Slower: Requires setting up outriggers; may even require simple ground preparation/foundation work |
| Operational Flexibility | Can move in real-time within quarry zones, following the active mining face | Requires tractor intervention; relocation costs are relatively higher |
| Initial Investment Cost | Higher (due to the hydraulic chassis drive system) | Lower (due to relatively simpler structure) |
| Recommended Application | Preferred choice for complex environments (e.g., riverbeds, mines) | Preferred choice for level sites and long-distance road transport |

As the core equipment for primary crushing (coarse crushing), the YMC106 is capable of operating independently; however, in a river pebble processing line with a capacity of 100–150 t/h, producing finished materials that meet construction standards (e.g., 5–10 mm, 10–20 mm, etc.) typically requires pairing it with secondary crushing, screening, and auxiliary equipment.
For river pebbles (high-hardness materials), the most scientifically sound and economical equipment configuration is as follows:
Track-Mounted Jaw Crushing Station — Customer Site
1. Classic "Hard Rock" Two-Stage Configuration (Most Common)
Configuration: YMC106 (Jaw Crusher) + Tracked Cone Crushing Station + Tracked Screening Station
Paired Equipment: Mobile Cone Crusher (e.g., a mobile station equipped with an HP300 or GP200 series crushing unit).
Rationale for Pairing:
Material Adaptability: River pebbles are extremely hard and highly abrasive. After the jaw crusher completes the initial reduction, the cone crusher—utilizing the inter-particle crushing principle—serves as the ideal secondary crushing device for processing river pebbles.
Wear Part Costs: If an impact crusher were used for the secondary stage, the rapid wear of the blow bars when processing river pebbles would result in prohibitively high operating costs. Cone crushers, conversely, offer significantly longer service life for their bowl liners and mantle liners.
Finished Product Shape: Cone crushers significantly improve the particle shape of crushed river pebbles, effectively reducing the proportion of flaky and needle-like particles.

2. Premium Manufactured Sand Configuration (Sand-Making Focus)
Configuration: YMC106 (Jaw Crusher) + Mobile Cone Crusher + Mobile Impact Crusher (VSI Sand Maker) + Mobile Screening Station
Paired Equipment: Mobile Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) Crushing Station.
Rationale for Pairing:
If the client's requirement for the finished product is premium manufactured sand (0–5 mm), a combination of only a jaw crusher and a cone crusher is insufficient to achieve the desired level of fineness. The impact crusher utilizes the "stone-on-stone" crushing principle; it is employed for final-stage shaping and sand production, yielding sand with a continuous gradation and high sphericity.
3. Closed-Circuit Configuration (Compact Solution)
Solution: YMC106 (Jaw Crusher) + Track-Mounted Integrated Crushing & Screening Station
Complementary Equipment: A cone crushing station equipped with a return conveyor system.
Rationale for Pairing:
Ideal for projects with limited site space. Crushed material flows directly into a screening system integrated into the secondary crushing unit; oversized material that fails to pass the screen is returned to the cone crusher via a return conveyor for re-crushing.
4. Auxiliary Support Equipment
In addition to the core crusher, the YMC106 typically requires the following auxiliary equipment:
Track-Mounted Stacker:
Given the high output of mobile crushing stations—and the relatively short length of their built-in discharge conveyors—the discharge point can quickly become overloaded. Pairing the unit with a mobile stacker allows for the creation of large stockpiles, thereby reducing the frequency of material transfer by wheel loaders and saving on both labor and fuel costs.
Sand Washer:
River pebbles often contain clay impurities. When producing finished sand products, a downstream wheel-bucket or spiral-type sand washer is typically required to enhance the cleanliness of the sand and aggregate.
Iron Separator:
Typically installed on the YMC106's discharge conveyor, this device prevents ferrous contaminants—such as iron rods or steel rebar—entrained within the material from damaging the downstream cone crusher. ---
5. Summary Table of Recommended Configuration Schemes (100-150 t/h)
| Scheme Name | Equipment Combination (Fully Track-Mounted) | Finished Products | Advantages |
| Standard Aggregate Line | YMC106 + YMC300 (Cone Crusher) + YMS518 (Screening Station) | 1-2, 1-3 Sized Gravel | The most cost-effective and wear-resistant solution specifically for river pebbles. |
| Versatile Manufactured Sand Line | YMC106 + Cone Crusher + VSI Sand Maker + Screening Station | Manufactured Sand + Gravel | Highest added value; suitable for suppliers operating mixing plants. |
| Simplified Road Material Line | YMC106 + Mobile Impact Crusher (with Screening) | Water-Stabilized Base Material / Base Course Material | Low investment cost; however, not recommended for extremely hard river pebbles. |
Recommendation: For river pebble processing schemes in the 100-150 t/h range, the combination of YMC106 + Mobile Cone Crusher + Mobile Screening Station constitutes the "Golden Triangle" for optimal cost-performance. This combination ensures that when facing high-hardness river pebbles, you can not only effectively crush the material but also keep the long-term maintenance costs for wear parts within a controllable range.
