What is gravel crusher? The gravel crusher machine is a highly efficient equipment capable of quickly crushing natural gravel blocks to the required specifications. They are essential in the construction and mining industries, where they are used to produce aggregate materials for roads and building projects.
To start a project, it is necessary for you to build your own crushing plant. And the types of the gravel crushing plant you need largely depends on your site and output requirements. First, let’s dive into understanding which type of gravel crusher plant can aid you in planning your next project!
Types of Gravel Crushing Plants for Choice
AIMIX can provide you with both stationary and mobile crusher plant. Stationary stone crusher is suitable for large-scale crushing needs, while the mobile crushing plant directly transforms the traditional crushing production line into an integrated crushing equipment, reducing the space of crushing production. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Stationary Gravel Crushing Plants – for Long-term Crushing Projects
The stationary crushing plant, having the characteristics of large output and production, needs a fixed factory building. Through the combination of different models, a powerful crushing operation line is formed to complete multi-demand processing operations. They are able to effectively crush and screen gravel of different types and sizes, which can adapt to your different production requirements, objects and means.
- This is a stationary quarry crusher equipment exported by AIMIX.
- The equipment is available in several models, covering the needs of different capacities and applications.
- The structure is sturdy and durable, suitable for the efficient crushing of all kinds of stones, and the weight is moderate and easy to transport, making it an ideal solution for quarries.
However, they can’t be moved to work on different sites, so projects with long-term and high-volume production are better suited.
In addition, we have mobile crushing plant solutions specifically designed for short-term crushing projects, which I will briefly introduce to you below.
Mobile Gravel Crushing Plant – Flexible Movement for Multiple Sites
Mobile crushing plants usually consist of crushers, feeders, screening equipment, etc. It can be moved by trailer for easy operation in different locations.
There are mainly two types of mobile crusher plant, one is a tire type mobile crusher, the other is crawler type mobile crusher.
The main difference is the way they move. The tire crusher uses tires to move, which is more suitable for flat roads such as urban roads and expressways. Crawler crusher move through tracks. This allows it to move freely in rough roads and harsh environments.
We can make solutions according to your different needs, and a variety of solutions are available for you to choose from. Among various crushing solutions, we have cuztomized many combined 4in1 mobile crushing lines for you. Here is one of production lines for reference:

At the same time, our gravel crusher also takes environmental protection factors into account and adopts advanced dust removal equipment to reduce dust pollution to the environment, so you don’t have to worry about interference from environmental protection agency.
Ultimately, the choice of gravel production line depends on your specific operational needs, project scale, location changes, etc. Assessing these factors carefully will help you make the best decision for your gravel crushing operations. Whether you use the stationary or portable gravel crusher plant, the main componets are simliar. Next, let’s learn about its key components.
What Are The Main Components Used In The Gravel Crushing Plant?
In gravel crushing, the following main machines are usually used:
- 1. Feeder: Regulates the flow of gravel into the crusher to ensure a stable feed.
- 2. Jaw type gravel crusher: Crushes large pieces of gravel into smaller sizes for subsequent processing.
- 3. Impact crusher: Uses a high-speed rotor with hammers that rotate rapidly to crush rocks and gravel to make it finer.
- 4. Cone crusher: The gravel is crushed by friction between the rotating workpiece and the fixed wall.
- 5. Screening machine: Divides the crushed gravel into different sizes to meet specific requirements and applications.
- 6. Conveyor belts: Convey the crushed gravel to different locations to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
These machines, sometimes working in tandem with sand making machines, work together to efficiently crush gravel to the required finer size(0-5mm) for different applications. You may have a full understanding of how does a gravel crusher work for sand and aggregate production through the following picture:
What Are the Typical Uses of Crushed Gravel?
Crushed gravel is a versatile material widely used in construction, landscaping, and various engineering applications. To understand its uses, it’s essential to first look at the types of natural gravel suitable for crushing and the typical sizes available on the market.
Natural Gravel Suitable for Crushing
Natural gravel is usually sourced from riverbeds, lakes, or quarries. The most commonly used types include:
- River Gravel: Smooth, rounded stones, especially river pebbles, cobblestones, that are often used for sand and aggregate production, decorative purposes and drainage.
- Crushed Stone: This is quarried rock that is needs to crush into smaller pieces. Main quarried rock include: limestone, granite, basalt, sandstone, gypsum, etc.
Ordinary Sizes of Crushed Gravel
Crushed stone gravel is available in various sizes, each suited for specific applications. Common sizes include:
- 3/4 crushed gravel: Commonly used in concrete mixes, for drainage, and as a base for patios and driveways.
- 3/8 crushed gravel: Often used in asphalt mixtures and for decorative landscaping.
- 1/4 crushed gravel: Ideal for pathways and driveways, providing a compacted surface.
- 1/2 crushed gravel: Suitable for drainage and as a base material for concrete.
- 1 crushed gravel: Commonly used in construction for sub-base preparation.
- 2 inches and larger crushed gravel: Typically used in road construction and as a base for driveways.
