A skid-mounted impact crusher plant is a compact, integrated crushing and screening system designed for on-site processing of various materials, including aggregates, construction waste, and ores. Unlike stationary crushing plants, it is mounted on a rigid steel skid (or frame), enabling easy transportation and rapid deployment without the need for complex foundation work. This mobility, combined with its ability to crush and screen materials in a single unit, makes it ideal for construction sites, mining operations, and recycling projects where flexibility and efficiency are paramount. The skid-mounted impact crusher plant combines several key components into a unified system:
● Impact crusher: It is highly effective for processing medium-hard to brittle materials (e.g., limestone, concrete, asphalt) and produces cubical-shaped aggregates, which are desirable for construction applications.
● Vibrating feeder: Delivers raw materials uniformly into the impact crusher, preventing overload and ensuring consistent processing.
● Vibrating screen: Classifies the crushed material into different particle sizes (e.g., 0–5 mm, 5–10 mm, 10–20 mm) using mesh screens.
● Conveyors: Transfer materials between components—from the feeder to the crusher, from the crusher to the screen, and from the screen to product stockpiles or discharge points.
● Skid frame: A robust steel structure that supports all components, providing stability during operation and serving as a base for transportation.
● Power system: Typically equipped with a diesel engine or electric motor to drive the crusher, feeder, screen, and conveyors. Diesel-powered units offer greater flexibility in remote locations without access to electricity.
● Limestone, Dolomite, Granite, Basalt
● Feed size: Up to 500mm
● Output: 0-40mm (adjustable) for concrete, asphalt, and road base
● High cubical product shape for better compaction
● Concrete, Bricks, Asphalt
● Efficient crushing of reinforced concrete (rebar separation possible)
● Produces clean, reusable aggregates for new construction
● Phosphate, Gypsum, Coal, Ferrous/Non-Ferrous Slag
● Pre-crushing for further processing (grinding, leaching)
● Reduces transportation costs by on-site size reduction
● Gold, Copper, Iron Ore (Secondary Crushing)
● Processes run-of-mine (ROM) material before milling
● Helps in heap leaching prep by creating optimal particle size
Skid-mounted impact crusher plants find widespread use across diverse industries:
● in construction and infrastructure, they produce aggregates for road bases, concrete, and building foundations by processing on-site materials, thereby reducing the need to transport raw materials from quarries and cutting both costs and carbon emissions;
● in demolition and recycling, they crush concrete, brick, and asphalt debris from demolition sites into reusable aggregates, supporting sustainable construction practices and minimizing waste sent to landfills;
● in mining and quarrying, they process low-grade ores or overburden in remote locations, enabling on-site beneficiation or preliminary crushing before materials are transported to larger processing facilities;
● and in road maintenance, they crush stones or recycled asphalt to provide a steady supply of aggregates for pothole filling, resurfacing, and shoulder construction.
