In the granite processing industry, traditional fixed production lines once dominated. However, recent field tests in mountainous mining areas have completely reshaped the industry’s understanding — by adopting mobile crushing plants, operators have reduced transportation costs by 50% and increased production efficiency by 30%.
Today, more and more companies are choosing mobile crushers as their first-choice equipment for granite processing. But what makes them so popular?

1. “On-Site Crushing” Redefines the Workflow — Cutting Transport Costs in Half

Mountainous granite mines face long-standing challenges: large raw blocks (often 1–2 meters in size) and extremely high transportation costs from the mine to fixed processing plants. Under the traditional setup, each ton of raw material incurs expensive fuel consumption, over-limit fines, and vehicle wear — adding up to 30–50 RMB per ton.

The mobile crushing plant solves this by moving the crushing process directly to the mining site, enabling “crushing right after blasting”:

• Primary mobile crusher (jaw type): Handles freshly blasted granite up to 2 meters in size, crushing it to 30–50 cm and reducing material volume by over 60%.
• Secondary mobile crusher (cone type): Further crushes 30–50 cm materials to 5–10 cm, increasing material density and vehicle loading capacity from 15 tons to 25 tons per trip.
• The finished materials are then transported by short-distance trucks to the yard below the mountain — eliminating long-distance transport of bulky raw stones.

2. Outstanding Mobility — Conquering Complex Terrain with Ease

Granite mines are usually located in mountainous or hilly regions, where roads are narrow, steep (up to 25°), and muddy. For fixed production lines, massive groundwork is required (road leveling, foundation building), which can take 3–6 months and cost over one million RMB.

The mobile crushing plant outperforms in these harsh conditions:

• Crawler chassis with hydraulic drive: Low ground pressure (0.08–0.12 MPa) ensures smooth travel on muddy or rocky terrain. It can climb slopes up to 30°, reaching mining faces effortlessly.
• No foundation required: Once the machine arrives, operators can stabilize it with hydraulic legs, connect power cables, and start production within 2 hours — eliminating costly infrastructure work.
• Flexible relocation: The plant can move along the ore vein as mining progresses, avoiding equipment idling caused by vein relocation.

3. Flexible Combination, High-Quality Output

Some worry that mobile crushing plants may sacrifice quality for flexibility — but real-world results prove otherwise. Their modular design allows full coverage from coarse crushing to sand making, meeting all performance standards.

• Primary crushing + screening: Jaw-type mobile crusher paired with a vibrating screen removes oversized materials to prevent over-crushing and ensure better particle shape.
• Secondary crushing + sand making: Cone crusher combined with impact crusher controls particle size precisely, achieving ≤5% needle-flake content and over 90% grading uniformity in granite sand.
• Smart monitoring system: Tracks load, particle size, and fuel consumption in real time, automatically issuing alerts to ensure stable, efficient production.

From “long-distance ore transport” to “on-site processing,” and from “months of infrastructure work” to “instant operation,” mobile crushing plants are transforming granite production by reshaping cost structures and boosting efficiency.

For mountainous mines, saving 50% on transport is only the beginning — its adaptability, smart automation, and overall operational benefits are what truly make it the “new favorite” in granite processing.
