A used crushing station (also known as a mobile or stationary crushing plant) is a pre-owned setup designed to process raw materials like rocks, ores, or demolition waste into smaller, reusable aggregates. These stations are commonly used in mining, construction, and recycling industries.
Key Features of a Used Crushing Station:
1. Types of Crushers:
– Jaw Crushers: Primary crushing of hard materials.
– Impact Crushers: For softer materials and recycling.
– Cone Crushers: Secondary/tertiary crushing for finer output.
– Gyratory Crushers: Heavy-duty primary crushing (common in mining).
2. Mobility Options:
– Track-Mounted: Mobile units for on-site movement (e.g., Metso Lokotrack, Sandvik QJ).
– Wheeled: Semi-mobile setups for easier transport.
– Stationary: Fixed installations for high-volume processing.
3. Components Included:
– Feeders (vibrating/grizzly)
– Conveyors (transferring crushed material)
– Screens (for sorting sizes)
– Control systems (automated or manual)
4. Common Brands:
– Sandvik, Metso, Terex Pegson, Kleemann, Rubble Master, Eagle Crusher.
Advantages of Buying Used:
✔ Lower upfront cost compared to new equipment.
✔ Faster availability (no manufacturing lead time).
✔ Proven performance if well-maintained.
Things to Check Before Purchase:
– Maintenance History: Service records and wear parts condition (liners, bearings).
– Hours/Usage: Similar to mileage on vehicles; impacts lifespan.
– Compatibility: Ensure it fits your material type (hard rock vs. asphalt recycling).
– Inspection: Test run to check noise, vibration, and output quality.
