From Mobile to Stationary: Modernised Primary Crusher for Higher Performance and Efficiency

Baseline Situation

  • An operator aimed to modernise a mobile diesel-electric primary crushing plant.

  • An attachment hopper limited throughput and particle distribution accuracy.

  • The goal was conversion to a stationary solution to increase throughput, product quality, and process reliability while improving energy efficiency.

  • Performance reserves were to rise, fine fractions decrease, and more marketable material be produced.

  • Energy use and CO₂ emissions were to be reduced for sustainable quarry operations.

Solution

GERWIN modernised the mobile primary crusher into a stationary solution. The tipping hopper was modified and a vibrating chute integrated to continuously feed the grizzly and jaw crusher, while material is delivered directly to the processing plant via a belt conveyor. The power supply was converted to fully electric operation, significantly improving efficiency and sustainability.

Result

The modernised stationary primary crusher combines high performance, optimised grain distribution, and sustainable energy use. Throughput and quantity of marketable products were increased, CO₂ emissions reduced – a future-ready solution for efficient quarry processes.
