Portable crushing plants have revolutionized the US construction and mining industries by offering flexible, on-site aggregate processing. These self-contained systems eliminate hauling costs and reduce project timelines significantly.
A typical portable crushing plant includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher (e.g., 30″x42″ opening, 150-300 HP)
2. Secondary Cone Crusher (e.g., 400 HP, 5.5″ closed-side setting)
3. Vibrating Screens (e.g., 6’x20′ triple deck, 25° incline)
4. Radial Stackers (e.g., 36″ wide, 80′ discharge height)
| Model | Capacity (TPH) | Power (HP) | Weight (lbs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PP1548 | 150-250 | 250 | 85,000 |
| PP1860 | 300-450 | 400 | 120,000 |
| PP2160 | 500-650 | 600 | 180,000 |
• Setup time under 24 hours with hydraulic folding conveyors
• Fuel-efficient Tier IV Final diesel engines
• Remote-controlled troubleshooting
• EPA-compliant dust suppression systems
A contractor recently deployed a PP1860 model to produce:
– Base material: 1.5″ minus at 350 TPH
– Clean stone: #57 at 120 TPH
– Screenings: 1/4″ minus at 80 TPH
Achieving ROI within 7 months through reduced transportation costs.
