• Introduction to Small Portable Mobile Crushing Stations

  Small-scale portable mobile crushing plants are pieces of equipment typically utilized in mining operations, construction waste recycling, road construction, and stone processing.

  Common Types and Configurations

  • Crushing Method: Jaw crushers are the most common choice (suitable for coarse crushing), though hammer crushers (suitable for medium to fine crushing) are also available.

  • Power System: Most units are equipped with diesel engines, allowing for independent field operations without the need for an external power supply; some models also support electric motor drives.

  • Mobility: Typically mounted on a wheeled mobile chassis, facilitating easy towing by vehicles.

  The production capacity of small-scale portable mobile crushing plants varies significantly, depending on the specific equipment model, the hardness of the material being crushed, and the required finished product particle size. The following provides a detailed breakdown of capacity ranges and an analysis of the production line requirements they are suited to meet:

  Small-scale Portable Mobile Crushing Plants Capacity Range

  This category of equipment is typically pided into three tiers; you can identify the appropriate tier based on the scale of your project:

  1. Micro/Laboratory Grade:

  • Capacity: 1 – 10 t/h

  • Characteristics: Typically no larger than a pushcart and equipped with a small diesel engine; primarily used for laboratory sampling, small-scale home workshops, or extremely small-scale gold ore beneficiation.

  2. Small Standard Grade:

  • Capacity: 10 – 50 t/h (the best-selling range)

  • Characteristics: This represents the most common "portable" model currently available on the market. It is capable of meeting the basic requirements of small-scale quarries or road repair projects. It can process approximately 80 – 400 tons of material per day (based on an 8-hour shift).

  3. Medium-Small Industrial Grade:

  • Capacity: 50 – 150 t/h

  • Characteristics: Slightly larger in size, typically utilizing a heavy-duty, wheeled trailer chassis. This grade is capable of meeting the demands of small-scale construction waste recycling facilities or rural road construction projects.

• Production Line Requirements and Constraints

  While the equipment itself is portable, successfully operating a production line requires attention to the following key metrics:

  A. Feed Size Requirements (Max Feeding Size)

  • Constraint: The feed opening on small, portable equipment is typically limited in size.

  • Requirement: Raw material dimensions generally must be kept below 200mm – 400mm. If your raw material consists of massive blasted rock, you will need to perform preliminary manual blasting or crushing, or opt for a larger model of jaw crusher.

  B. Finished Product Size Requirements (Output Sizes)

  Configuration:

  • Single-Unit Crushing: If your only objective is to break large rocks into smaller pieces, a single mobile jaw crusher will suffice.

  • Screening Requirements: If you need to simultaneously produce multiple aggregate specifications—such as 0–5mm (sand), 10–20mm (gravel), and 20–30mm (larger stone)—you must install a mobile vibrating screen downstream from the crusher.

  C. Power Requirements (Power Source)

  • Diesel Engine: Suitable for remote areas lacking access to grid electricity; maintenance is simple, though long-term fuel costs are higher than those associated with electric power.

  • Dual-Power (Diesel-Electric): It is recommended to select a model equipped with an electric motor; in locations where grid power is available, switching to electric drive can significantly reduce operating costs.

  D. Site Requirements (Footprint)

  • Space: Unlike stationary production lines—which typically require thousands of square meters—a small mobile crushing station requires only 30 to 100 square meters of level, hardened ground to commence operations.

  • Ancillary Equipment: You will typically require a loader to feed material into the hopper, as well as one or two dump trucks to transport the finished products away.
