Mobile or stationary equipment: how to think total cost

Two right answers

Both mobile and stationary solutions can be the right choice – depending on how long you process at the same site, and how much capacity you actually use.

Mobile equipment from e.g. Terex Ecotec provides flexibility when the project moves or when you want to trial a process before committing capital to a new building.

Three questions before investing

1. How many operating hours per year do you need at full load?
2. How often must the equipment be relocated, and what does rigging and transport cost per move?
3. Do you have electricity for electric variants where the machine will be situated?

Conclusion

Start with material flow and logistics – not with brand names. Once the picture is clear, it is easier to choose between mobile recycling equipment and stationary solutions under shredders and sorting plants.
