Built to Move. Designed to Perform.
Most portable plants force a trade-off: mobility or productivity, speed or stability. MineralsSystem delivers both—with integrated crushing and screening in a single, cohesive plant.
Every component—feeders, crushers, screens, conveyors—is designed and integrated in-house. Not assembled. Orchestrated. That’s vertical integration: single-source accountability, seamless compatibility, no finger-pointing.
Relocation used to mean cranes, conveyor tear-down, days of downtime. Now? Hydraulic extensions. Hours, not days. Back to crushing and screening on the same shift.
Choose field-proven configurations, or challenge our engineers with your rock, your ground, your specs.
Core Advantages
Single-Source Accountability
When one manufacturer builds the entire spread, there is no finger-pointing between vendors. If an issue arises, one team owns the solution—from design to support.
Optimized Circuit Efficiency
Integration goes beyond fit. It ensures that each plant is correctly sized to the next—crusher to screen to conveyor—eliminating bottlenecks and maximizing tons per hour across the entire circuit.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
Matched components mean less wear and tear, lower inventory needs for spare parts, and simplified maintenance. The result is a lower cost per ton over the life of the equipment.
Accelerated Time to Production
Pre-engineered integration removes the guesswork and custom engineering delays on-site. Plants arrive ready to plug and play, getting you from setup to stockpile faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A portable crushing plant is a wheeled-mounted crushing and screening system designed for high mobility. Unlike stationary or modular plants that require crane assistance for relocation, portable plants feature an integrated axle and towing hitch, allowing them to be transported directly by a truck tractor on public roads. They are engineered for rapid deployment—arriving on site and becoming operational within 24 hours—with no concrete foundations required. Portable plants are the preferred choice for contractors and operators who need to move frequently between jobsites or process materials at temporary locations.
At MineralsSystem, we categorize portable plants by their function:
Portable Jaw Plants: Ideal for primary crushing of hard, abrasive rock (like granite or basalt). They handle large feed sizes and reduce material for downstream processing.
Portable Cone Plants: Used for secondary and tertiary crushing, these units produce high-quality, uniform aggregates from hard materials. They combine a high-horsepower crusher with a large screen on a single chassis for superior production.
Portable Impact Plants: Excellent for recycling concrete and asphalt, or crushing softer materials like limestone. They produce a cubical, well-shaped final product.
Portable Screening Plants: Stand-alone or integrated units that sort material into multiple spec products and can be used in closed-circuit operations to return oversize material for re-crushing.
-
Setup is exceptionally fast. Upon arrival at a new site, a portable crushing plant can be operational within 24 hours. The hydraulic landing legs allow for quick leveling and stabilization without the need for extensive concrete foundations or civil works. Once the plant is positioned and leveled, operators simply connect the power supply and auxiliary conveyors, and the plant is ready to begin production. This rapid setup capability enables contractors to respond quickly to new project opportunities and minimizes downtime during site-to-site relocation.
-
No—one of the key advantages of portable plants is that they require no concrete foundations. The plant is equipped with hydraulic landing legs that provide stable support on virtually any firm, level surface. When moving to a new site, the operator simply lowers the legs to level the plant and stabilize it for operation. This eliminates the cost and time associated with pouring and curing concrete foundations, making portable plants ideal for temporary projects, rental fleets, and operations where site conditions may change.
-
In the crushing and screening industry, "portable plants" and "mobile plants" are often confused, but they serve different purposes.
A portable plant is wheeled-mounted with an axle and towing hitch, designed for highway transport between job sites. It arrives on site, levels with hydraulic legs, and is operational within 24 hours—no concrete foundations required. Ideal for contractors who move frequently between projects like road construction or demolition recycling.
A mobile plant is typically track-mounted and self-propelled, designed to move within a single site. It follows the quarry face or navigates tight demolition areas under its own power, reducing haulage needs. However, it requires low-bed trailers for longer relocations.
In short:
Portable plants: Inter-site mobility via public roads.
Mobile plants: On-site maneuverability within one location.
Choose based on whether you need to move between sites or within a site.

Regular maintenance is key to maximizing uptime. A good routine includes:
Daily Inspections: Check fluid levels (engine oil, hydraulic fluid), inspect wear parts (jaw and cheek plates, mantles and bowl liners, blow bars, screen media), and grease all bearings.
Common Issues & Solutions:
Blockages: Often caused by oversized feed or non-crushable material. Use a pre-screen or magnet where possible and monitor feed consistency.
Uneven Wear: Results from inconsistent feeding. Ensure a steady, choke-fed flow into the crusher.
Conveyor Issues: Misalignment or tearing. Regularly check belt alignment and tension.
Overheating: Caused by insufficient lubrication or overloading. Follow the manufacturer's lubrication schedule strictly.
With MineralsSystem's integrated design, maintenance points are accessible, and our support team is always ready to help you troubleshoot.
