The choice between a mobile and a stationary crusher should be based on production requirements, operating conditions and budget: stationary crushers are suitable for permanent sites with high processing volumes, whilst mobile crushers are ideal for work at various remote sites, helping to reduce logistics costs.
Mobile crushers, widely used on construction sites and in mining operations, have hidden drawbacks: low throughput (a drop of 30–40%) when processing hard rock, coupled with a high breakdown rate, rapid wear of components (by 25–30%) and high maintenance costs, as well as imprecise adjustment of the output size, requiring reprocessing; it is therefore important to take these factors into account in advance when making a selection.
