Abstract
A method and apparatus for wirelessly monitoring and/or controlling the processing operations of a mobile rock crushing plant.
Claims4
A mobile aggregate processing plant comprising:
- multiple processing units cooperatively arranged to crush and size sort aggregate material, the multiple processing units being coupled together by conveyors adapted to help move aggregate material from one processing unit to another, wherein each of the multiple processing units are adapted to be efficiently decoupled from each other, transported over public roadways and recoupled at a second site, and wherein the multiple processing units are each mounted on a movable base, and include a releasable stabilizing mechanism for selectively stabilizing the processing units and controllably rendering them immobile and mobile as desired;
- and
- a mobile control unit wirelessly coupled to and in communication with one or more of the multiple processing units, the control unit adapted to monitor and/or control the multiple processing units.
