BENEFITS OF USING MOBILE CRUSHING AND SCREENING PLANTS IN QUARRYING CRUSHED STONE

Mobile crushers have been used for long time mostly in limestone quarries. They provided advantage of belt conveyor transport and eliminated road construction and truck haulage, and thus resulted in cost savings [1]. Mobile plants for crushing and screening (in further text mobile plants) are increasingly used on mining fields of crushed stone and also with the preparation of the construction material in construction engineering sites (highways, tunnels) and building construction (construction pits). They are used on mining sites of crushed stone where blasted raw material, old spoil dumps and overburden are processed. Depending on the type of the material and on the targeted stone product, an appropriate configuration of the mobile processing plants is set. A common trait is the access of the mobile plants to the raw material, which is a primary advantage, especially in terms of reducing the transport costs.
