Materials processing
Economically efficient processing of natural stone and recycling materials
Great flexibility, outstanding performance
Natural crushed stone and recycled materials in graded grain sizes are used as standard aggregate for concrete, as well as for base, binder and surface courses in road and civil construction. But how are large chunks of rock converted into aggregate of defined size?

Crushers are on the move
What are the advantages of mobile crushers?
Versatility and flexibility in application are the major advantages that mobile crushers play in comparison to stationary crushing plants.
What are mobile crushers used for?
Mobile crushers are used in quarries, in mining, on job sites, and in the recycling industry. The robust plants mounted on crawler tracks are capable of processing both rock and recycling material, producing mineral aggregate and recycled building materials respectively for the construction industry.
What are the differences between the various crushing techniques?
Crushing techniques distinguish between pressure crushing and impact crushing.
Jaw Crushers or Cone Crushers use the so-called pressure crushing technique where material is reduced in size mainly by high pressure between slow-moving wear parts.
Impact Crushers use the so-called impact crushing technique, in which the rock is accelerated by a massive fast-moving rotor and reduced in size by impacting against breaker walls.
What about the hardness of the rock to be processed?
Jaw crushers are widely used for crushing medium-hard to hard rock, and are mostly used as primary crushers. Impact crushers work as both primary and secondary crushers for processing soft to medium-hard rock, producing larger quantities of fines. Cone crushers are used predominantly as secondary crushers for hard rock.
