What is a Mobile Impact Crusher?
A Mobile Impact Crusher, also known as a mobile impact crushing plant or portable impact crusher, is a mobile crushing unit designed for medium to fine crushing of soft to medium-hard materials. It adopts the impact crushing principle, where materials are broken by high-speed rotor impact and collision with impact plates. The processing capacity ranges from 80–350 t/h depending on configuration.
In a complete crushing line, the mobile impact crusher usually works after a primary jaw crusher for secondary crushing. Upstream equipment includes vibrating feeders and jaw crushers for initial size reduction, while downstream systems such as vibrating screens, belt conveyors, and magnetic separators are used for classification and material recovery. It is widely used in construction waste recycling, aggregate production, and road base material processing.
Working Principle
The equipment operates on the impact crushing principle. Material is fed continuously into the crushing chamber and accelerated by a high-speed rotor. Under strong rotational force, particles collide with blow bars and are thrown against impact plates for repeated breaking. This process continues until the material reaches the required gradation and exits through the discharge opening.
In a mobile configuration, the crusher is integrated with feeder, conveyor, and optional screening units on a tracked or wheeled chassis. Oversized material can be returned to the crushing chamber through a closed-loop system, ensuring stable product size control and continuous on-site operation without fixed installation.
Types of Mobile Impact Crushers
Zhongyi offers several mobile impact crusher configurations to meet different site conditions and material processing needs. The equipment is available in tracked, wheeled, and integrated crushing–screening versions, suitable for secondary and fine crushing in aggregate production, demolition waste recycling, and road construction projects.
Depending on the project, we can configure standalone impact crushers or complete closed-circuit mobile lines with screening and return systems. Rotor type, chassis form, and layout can be adjusted based on feed material and final size requirements, making the equipment suitable for both fixed-site and frequently moving operations.
Tracked Mobile Impact Crusher
Tracked mobile impact crusher is a self-propelled unit designed for direct operation in mining sites, demolition areas, and uneven terrain. It integrates feeding, impact crushing, and conveying on a crawler chassis, allowing quick deployment without foundation work. Typical feed size is up to 500–800 mm, with a capacity of 80–350 t/h and adjustable output size of 20–100 mm.
Wheeled Mobile Impact Crusher
Wheeled mobile impact crusher is a trailer-mounted system designed for projects that require frequent relocation between fixed sites with road access. It offers fast transport and relatively lower operating cost, making it suitable for construction and aggregate production. Feed size is generally ≤500–700 mm, with capacity ranging from 60–300 t/h and output size of 20–100 mm.
Integrated Mobile Impact Crushing & Screening Plant
Integrated mobile impact crushing and screening plant combines impact crushing, screening, and material recirculation into one closed-circuit system. It is commonly used where finished aggregate grading is required in a single operation. The system handles feed sizes up to 400–700 mm, with capacity of 80–320 t/h and multi-grade output from 0–100 mm depending on screen configuration.

Mobile Impact Crusher vs Mobile Jaw Crusher
Mobile impact crushers and mobile jaw crushers are both widely used in mobile crushing operations, but they are designed for different stages and material characteristics. Jaw crushers are typically used for primary crushing of large, hard materials, while impact crushers are used for secondary or fine crushing where product shape and grading are more important. Choosing between them depends on feed size, material hardness, and final product requirements.
| Item | Mobile Jaw Crusher | Mobile Impact Crusher |
|---|---|---|
| Crushing stage | Primary crushing | Secondary / fine crushing |
| Crushing method | Compression (squeezing between jaw plates) | Impact (high-speed rotor striking) |
| Feed size | Up to 600–1000 mm | Up to 400–800 mm |
| Output size | 60–150 mm (coarse) | 20–100 mm (finer) |
| Finished product shape | Angular, slightly rough | More cubical, better grading |
| Suitable materials | Hard and abrasive rock, large boulders | Medium-hard to soft materials, recycled concrete |
| Typical applications | Primary reduction in mining & quarrying | Aggregate shaping, construction waste recycling |
| Wear parts consumption | Relatively lower | Higher due to impact force |
| Mobility use case | Heavy-duty primary site processing | Flexible secondary on-site processing |
In practice, both machines are often used together in a complete mobile crushing line, with jaw crusher for primary reduction and impact crusher for shaping and final sizing.
