For large-scale aggregate producers—quarries, cement plants, or construction material suppliers—consistency, durability, and high throughput are non-negotiable. Unlike mobile crushing plants (designed for on-site, temporary use), a non wheeled aggregate crushing plant (fixed aggregate crushing plant) is engineered for permanent installation, delivering reliable performance for years of continuous operation. Built to process hard and medium-hard materials (granite, limestone, basalt) into graded aggregates (5–30mm for concrete, 30–50mm for road bases), it’s the backbone of industries needing steady, high-volume aggregate supply. This article breaks down what makes non wheeled plants essential, their key components, advantages, and ideal applications—helping you decide if it’s the right fit for your large-scale operations.
A non wheeled aggregate crushing plant is a stationary, integrated system designed for long-term aggregate production. Unlike mobile plants (mounted on wheels or tracks), it is installed on a fixed concrete foundation, optimized for maximum stability and efficiency. It processes raw stone (from quarries or mines) through a sequence of crushing, screening, and conveying steps to produce uniform, market-ready aggregates.
● Capacity: 50–500 TPH (tons per hour) – tailored to large-scale needs (e.g., 400–4,000 tons of aggregates daily).
● Material compatibility: Handles hard rocks (Mohs 6–8, e.g., granite) and medium-hard rocks (Mohs 3–5, e.g., limestone).
● Output sizes: Adjustable from 0–5mm (sand) to 50–80mm (coarse aggregates), meeting ASTM C33 (US) or EN 12620 (EU) standards.
A well-designed non wheeled plant follows a linear, efficient workflow—each component working in sync to minimize downtime and maximize output:
● Feeds raw stone (up to 800mm lumps) evenly into the primary crusher, preventing overload.
● Built-in grizzly screens filter out fine particles (≤50mm) early, reducing wear on crushers and improving efficiency.
● Fixed installation ensures stable feeding—critical for maintaining consistent throughput.
● The “workhorse” of the plant: uses compressive force to break large stones into 80–150mm fragments.
● Heavy-duty steel frame and manganese steel jaw plates (Mn13Cr2) resist abrasion from hard rocks (e.g., granite), lasting 6–8 months.
● Ideal models: PE 750×1060 (80–140 TPH) or PE 900×1200 (120–200 TPH) for mid-to-high capacity needs.
● Cone crusher: Best for hard rocks (granite, basalt). Uses a rotating cone to refine 80–150mm fragments into 20–50mm aggregates, producing cubical shapes (low flakiness rate <5%).
● Impact crusher: Suited for medium-hard rocks (limestone, dolomite). High-speed hammers break stone into uniform aggregates, with reversible hammers doubling wear life.
● Separates crushed material into graded sizes (e.g., 0–5mm sand, 5–10mm, 10–20mm, 20–30mm aggregates).
● 3–4 decks ensure precise classification—oversized particles are sent back to the secondary crusher for reprocessing (no waste).
● Weather-resistant design (stainless steel screens) handles outdoor conditions (rain, dust) common in quarries.
● Belt conveyors (width 600–1200mm) transport material between components, with sealed covers to reduce dust.
● Finished aggregates are stored in covered silos (capacity 50–500 tons) to protect from moisture—ensuring quality for concrete or road projects.
A non wheeled aggregate crushing plant is the ultimate choice for large-scale, long-term aggregate production. Its stability, high capacity, and low TCO make it indispensable for quarries, cement plants, and infrastructure projects needing reliable, uniform aggregates. While it’s not designed for temporary or on-site use, its performance and cost savings over time far outweigh the upfront investment.
If you’re planning a permanent aggregate production site and need 50–500 TPH capacity, a non wheeled plant is the smart, future-proof solution.
