Tire Type and Crawler Type, 5 aspects of comparison let you see the difference

May 19, 2021

There are mainly two types of mobile crushing stations: tire type and crawler type. The design concept eliminates the obstacles that the crushing site, environment, complex basic configuration and complex logistics bring to the crushing operation, so it is welcomed by more and more users. This article starts from the differentiation of the two mobile crushing stations and analyzes their characteristics for everyone.

Mobile Crusher

1. Mobility

The tire-type mobile crushing plant cannot be completely called a mobile crusher in fact, because its transition movement depends on the semi-trailer head for traction, so it is not as good as the self-hydraulic-driven crawler-type mobile crushing station in terms of mobility up.

2. Applicable venue

Because the tire-type mobile crushing station adopts vehicle-mounted traction, it is more suitable for the crushing of various sand and gravel materials in some construction waste treatment, earth and stone engineering, urban infrastructure and road construction, construction and other industries. The chassis of the crawler mobile crusher adopts a crawler-type fully rigid ship structure, with high strength, low grounding ratio, good possibility, and good adaptability to mountains and wetlands, and can even achieve climbing operations, so it is mostly used for mining, in harsh operating environments such as open-pit coal mining.

3. Work efficiency

When the tire-type mobile crushing station works, because the hydraulic outriggers under the frame are fixed, the stability of the whole station is increased. Stability is the basis of the mobile crushing station. Good stability allows the whole station to be equipped with large the crusher equipment, that is to say, the tire-type mobile crushing station can carry out the crushing operation of large materials, and the work efficiency is extremely high. The crawler-type mobile crushing station has weak stability, which in turn leads to its crushing capacity without the high efficiency of the tire mobile crushing station.

4. Equipment performance

The mobile tire crushing station has a short wheelbase, a small turning radius, does not damage the road surface, and can be driven flexibly on ordinary roads and work areas. The crawler-type mobile crushing station uses crawler walking, which can realize in-situ steering. With standard configuration, through wireless remote control, it is very easy to drive the crusher to the trailer and transport it to the work site.

5. Finished effect

Currently, the wheeled mobile crushing station is used in the crushing treatment of construction waste, and the recycled aggregate produced by it has a good shape, which is conducive to recycling. The semi-open discharging system is suitable for crushing construction waste containing a small amount of steel bars, with fine discharging, less over-crushing, and good particle formation. It is especially suitable for the production of environmentally friendly bricks.

In summary, tire-type and crawler-type mobile crushing stations have their own characteristics, and the specific selection should be based on the user’s production requirements. With people’s pursuit of efficiency and convenience, mobile crushing stations will be more used in all walks of life. Understanding the characteristics of these two mobile crushing stations will lay the foundation for current or future equipment selection.
