Differences Between Tyre-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plants and Track-Mounted Mobile Crushing Plants

Mobile crushing plants primarily come in two types: tyre-mounted and track-mounted. Their design philosophy eliminates the obstacles posed by crushing sites, environmental conditions, complex foundation configurations, and logistical challenges to crushing operations, making them increasingly popular among users.

While both are mobile crushing plants, tyre-mounted and track-mounted models each have their unique advantages. We will compare them from the following aspects:

1. Mobility  

Truck-mounted mobile crushing plants cannot strictly be classified as fully mobile crushers, as their relocation relies on being towed by a semi-trailer truck. Therefore, their mobility is inferior to that of self-propelled hydraulic track-mounted mobile crushing plants.

2. Applicable Sites  

Since tyre-mounted mobile crushing plants use vehicle-mounted towing, they are more suitable for various sand and gravel material crushing applications in industries such as construction waste processing, earthwork engineering, urban infrastructure and road construction, and building construction.

Crawler-mounted mobile crushers feature a crawler-mounted fully rigid ship-shaped chassis structure, which offers high strength, low ground pressure, excellent manoeuvrability, and good adaptability to mountainous and wetland terrains, even enabling slope climbing operations. As such, they are primarily used in harsh operating environments such as mining and open-pit coal mining.

3. Work Efficiency  

When the tyre-mounted mobile crushing plant is in operation, the hydraulic outriggers beneath the chassis are fixed, enhancing the overall stability of the plant. Stability is the foundation of mobile crushing plant operations. Good stability allows the plant to be equipped with large-scale crushing equipment, meaning the tyre-mounted mobile crushing plant can handle large-scale material crushing operations with extremely high efficiency.

Crawler-mounted mobile crushing plants have weaker stability, resulting in lower crushing efficiency compared to tyre-mounted mobile crushing plants.

4. Equipment Performance  

Tire-mounted mobile crushing plants have a short wheelbase and small turning radius, causing no damage to road surfaces, and can manoeuvre flexibly on ordinary roads and within work areas.

Crawler-mounted mobile crushing plants use tracks for movement, enabling on-site turning. With standard configuration, they can be operated via wireless remote control, making it easy to load the crusher onto a trailer and transport it to the work site.

5. Product Quality  

Currently, wheeled mobile crushing plants are used for the crushing and processing of construction waste. The recycled aggregates produced have good particle shape, facilitating their reuse. The semi-open discharge system is suitable for crushing construction waste containing small amounts of reinforcing bars, producing fine output with minimal over-crushing and well-formed particles, making it particularly suitable for producing eco-friendly bricks.

In summary, both tyre-mounted and track-mounted mobile crushing plants have their own characteristics, and the choice should be based on the user's production requirements. As people pursue efficiency and convenience, mobile crushing plants will be increasingly applied across various industries. Understanding the characteristics of these two types of mobile crushing plants lays the foundation for selecting equipment for current or future needs.
