Q: Why choose a Diesel Engine over an Electric Motor for mobile crushing?
The diesel engine option is ideal for remote mining sites, road construction, and quarries where electricity is unavailable or unstable. It provides full autonomy and high torque for crushing hard materials. However, if your site has a stable grid, our electric motor option is more energy-efficient and has lower operating costs.
Q: How “mobile” is the equipment? Can it be towed on highways?
Our mobile jaw crushers are built on a high-strength tire chassis. Smaller models (like the PE150x250) can be easily towed by small tractors or trucks within a work site. For highway transport, we recommend checking local regulations regarding towing speeds and braking systems, as these units are primarily designed for off-road/site mobility.
Q: What is the maximum hardness of material this machine can process?
APEX mobile jaw crushers are engineered to process materials with a compression strength of up to 350Mpa. This includes exceptionally hard rocks like basalt, granite, and iron ore. It is also highly effective for construction waste and cement clinker recycling.
Q: What maintenance is required for the diesel power system?
Standard diesel maintenance applies: regular oil changes, air filter cleaning, and fuel system inspections. Because crushing creates dust, we have optimized our engine placement and cooling systems, but we recommend cleaning the air filters daily in high-dust environments to ensure long-term engine health.
