The construction industry in India is an evergreen business opportunity. India is currently on the forefront of an economic boost and the government is leaving no stone unturned to make it evident. The major cities of India are getting much-needed facelifts. From rampant construction work to changing the infrastructure from the ground up, the change is massive. In such times, there is a higher need for construction and quarry equipment. The stone and rock crushing units are in an all-time high demand right now. With avenues for construction popping up at almost every other corner, the demand does not seem to be dying anytime soon.
To fulfill all these construction needs, a lot of equipment is required at the mining site. One of the key equipment is a rock crusher. It’s a large machine built to crush huge rocks, boulders, and stones of all kinds. There are two kinds of rock crusher units available in the market- stationary rock crushers and mobile rock crushers. Mobile rock crushers are designed to move from one location to another, while static rock crushers are designed to remain in the same location.
Many buyers opt for the combination of both types of equipment to increase the flexibility of operations at the site. However, both types of crushers have their own advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific application. Mobile rock crushers are typically more flexible and versatile than static crushers, as they can be easily transported to different locations and used in a variety of applications. This is particularly useful for contractors and operators who need to move their equipment from one job site to another. Additionally, mobile rock crushers can be set up quickly and easily, which can save time and reduce costs. On the other hand, static rock crushers are typically more durable and reliable than mobile crushers. They are designed to be used in a fixed location and are often larger and more powerful than mobile crushers. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications where a lot of material needs to be processed.
However, when making a decision about which one to buy, a lot of factors need to be taken into consideration.
- Installation Time and Longevity
When setting up a rock crushing plant, it is crucial to understand beforehand how time-consuming the process of installation is going to be. Static rock crushing unit takes weeks to set up because of the exhaustive nature of equipment needed for it to function. One also needs to take into account the terrain of the site and the climactic conditions of the area. Whereas, in the case of mobile crushing units, there is hardly any assembly line installation required. A mobile crushing plant takes a day at max to set up and can begin operations almost instantly. When it comes to the life span, both of these crushing units have a very high lifespan of almost 5-10 years. If maintained properly and serviced regularly, these crushing units can last a very long period of time.
- Maintenance
No matter how powerful and efficient a machine is, if it is not regularly serviced it will start to deteriorate and its performance will begin to decline. When making a decision on which rock crusher to buy, do keep in mind the ease of maintenance of each of these crushers.
- Cost-effectiveness
No decision is complete without taking into account the cost aspect associated with it. Along with the actual cost of the crushing unit, also take into account the associated costs like transportation costs, manual labor costs for setting up the unit (stationary rock crusher), assembly parts costs, and so on.
Ultimately, the choice between a mobile or static rock crusher depends on the specific needs of the application. For example, if you need to process large volumes of material and have a fixed location, a static crusher might be the better choice. But, if you need more flexibility and the ability to move your equipment around, a mobile crusher might be the better option.
