Designing a mobile crusher involves several key considerations to ensure efficiency, durability, and ease of use. Below is a structured approach to designing a mobile crusher:
—
1. Define Requirements
– Material to be Crushed: Rock, concrete, recycling waste, etc.
– Input Size: Maximum feed size (e.g., 500mm).
– Output Size: Desired product size (e.g., 0-20mm).
– Capacity: Tons per hour (e.g., 100-200 TPH).
– Mobility: Track-mounted or wheel-mounted.
– Power Source: Diesel engine, electric motor, or hybrid.
—
2. Select Crusher Type
Choose the appropriate crushing mechanism based on material hardness and desired output:
– Jaw Crusher (Primary crushing for hard materials).
– Impact Crusher (For softer materials, better shape).
– Cone Crusher (Secondary/tertiary crushing for finer output).
– Hammer Crusher (For brittle materials like limestone).
—
3. Chassis & Mobility
– Track-Mounted: Better for rough terrain, self-propelled.
– Wheel-Mounted: Easier transport on roads, may need a truck/trailer.
– Hydraulic Folding System: For compact transport.
—
4. Power & Drive System
– Diesel Engine: Independent power, suitable for remote sites.
– Electric Motor: Lower emissions but requires external power.
– Hybrid Option: Combines diesel and electric for flexibility.
—
5. Feeding System
– Vibrating Grizzly Feeder: Removes fines and regulates feed.
– Hopper Design: Large enough to avoid frequent refilling.
—
6. Discharge & Conveyors
– Main Conveyor Belt: Transports crushed material.
– Side Conveyor (Optional): For stockpiling or secondary screening.
– Adjustable Height/Radial Swivel: For flexible stockpiling.
—
7. Control System
– PLC Automation: For monitoring performance and adjustments.
– Remote Control Option: For safer operation from a distance.
—
8. Safety & Maintenance Features
– Emergency stop buttons.
1. Easy access for maintenance (greasing points, inspectioatches).
2. Dust suppression system (water spray or filters).
