There's an idea I like it

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Thought I might share my walking on water experience. Live a righteous life and gravity will release its hold upon you.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Very nice! I can't even swim let alone walk on water!

Re: Gravel screener build
 

lolol a bit late for me to do that... the rest of my life wont be enough to repent of all my sins lol

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Since the weather has started warming up, I took the liberty to get started on the infrastructure for the RC work site. I'm going to etch out a nice portion for the gravel screener. http://https://youtu.be/soCc9jUnBK8

Re: Gravel screener build
 

watch it on You tube https://youtu.be/soCc9jUnBK8

Re: Gravel screener build
 

well almost done with the concrete on the lay out. Soon I will also paint it with black top sealer and paint in some road lines. I will be seated about here next to the beer. I think its a perfect distance away.http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psuidq6qtz.jpg

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Great site ! It's tempting to make a visit ..........:)

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Pretty sweet!

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Well it took some time, and I got some more concrete on sale at home depot. I finished the last portion of the road. I took a spin around a few times with the truck and trailer for a test run.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

I'm now ready to expand. NEED more road!!!!!!

Re: Gravel screener build
 

so on the finishing up on the gravel sifter/sorter, I mounted a new geared motor that has the appropriate speed and strength. I chose to go with direct drive for less moving parts. I also had to raise the screen about a 1 1/2".http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pszaj6w8d6.jpg

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Then I raised the height of the bay walls.http://http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psc4levmch.jpg

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Re: Gravel screener build
 

After that I made a cover for the geared motor.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

So this is what I have now.http://http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psqvnlnplu.jpg

Re: Gravel screener build
 

And I now need to find a way to feed this beast.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

I was wondering should I make a shaker feeder or buy another Bruder conveyor to make a feeder.? And was thinking painting it red.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

make the hopper mouth bigger for pay loaders and bad excavtor operators

Re: Gravel screener build
 

I had this trough I was working on a while ago and was thinking it would make a nice vibrating hopper.
http://http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psg7ndzqmz.jpg
I goin to make a few cuts and add a few pieces to it and see if it can work.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Now to add a few pieces.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

And to see what it would look like.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Now getting this thing to vibrate is going to be a task.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Now to figure out how to fasten this down. I have no idea but ill figure something out.
http://http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psrs5lo4zk.jpg

Re: Gravel screener build
 

well I added some springs and mounted the hopper.
http://http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psr8tjwnsk.jpg

Re: Gravel screener build
 

I used the vibrating motor from the Tamiya MFU kit.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

I like this build, you have given me some good idea's.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

The feed hopper is looking great! Nice work.:cool:
I also used a tamiya vibration motor on my feed chute. Controlled by a radio channel so I have complete control of what speed to use. There's another very cheap way to have very good speed control. I like it so much, I bought a few and use for testing stuff and in projects.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Thanks Mario I'm glad you like it. I'm hoping to have it all done by Saturday, Bigford is comin over to move some dirt with me and I will like to make good use of it.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Well I had to add a few more parts took it out for a test run and found it needed a few things.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Well I wound up painting it red and black. Its not my best paint job, but its going to be covered in dust and dirt anyway. for now its nice and shiny. Tomorrow I will give it a test run. And I will take a video of it in action.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Yes sure, i will finish my bruder conversion then im gonna make 1 of these.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

I'm going to have to do another test run before the weather changes. Its going to be sunny tomorrow but a little rain is suppose to pass threw. So before it does I need to find out if its going to need some more modifications.

Re: Gravel screener build
 

Looks great! Looking forward to see it at work :cool:

Re: Gravel screener build
 

So here goes my test run. I shot 2 videos, the first run and then I tinkered with it and shot another. I wound up changing the elevation of it seeing the ground was pitched to wrong way and it seems to work fine. Other than a few thing here and there.
