duratoy conveyor
I have seen a video some where for this conveyor, but do you think I can find it again?:confused::confused: Some one has made it r/c controlled.
Any help in finding it would be great. |
Re: duratoy conveyor

Re: duratoy conveyor
I bought mine off ebay a couple months ago. But you can get one from DHS Diecast. I haven't finished converting mine completely to motor drive and possibly remote yet.
http://www.dhsdiecast.com/shop/produ...roduct_id=6031 Here's a picture of mine Stepside took, but you can't see the motor setup. The gearmotor I had laying around turned the wrong direction so I added two spur gears to reverse direction but the torque made the thin steel on the Sandmaster flex popping the teeth over one another. I'm going to get a DC motor next to try with direct drive through a Lovejoy jaw coupling. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...inFever014.jpg |
Re: duratoy conveyor
On mine I have a 12v windshield wiper motor you can switch direction and they have plenty of torque.to power it I use a 12v power supply mounted on the hopper that way if needed you could put power to a trackhoe or anything12v operated.I haven't got the door ex operating but I have ideas on that:D

Re: duratoy conveyor
Man, there is some really nice stuff on that web site

Re: duratoy conveyor
Any pictures of the drive setup would be great.
Thanks Paul |
Re: duratoy conveyor
i dont have any pics but i will try to get some .on the drive i took a bushing the same size as the turn crank and threaded the same thread as the wndshield wiper motor.when you run it backwards,which is the direction the conveyor needs to run it will tighten up on motor shaft.i used the mount plate for the motor and put holes on plate from the turn crank support to hold the motor :)

Re: duratoy conveyor
Here are pics of my Duratoy Conveyor Conversion:

The only other things I did to it was had some sheet metal bent to raise up the hopper and I cut a 2x6 to size to raise up the lower hopper. I think I also got 10-32 bolts 1.5" long to mount the motor to the hopper. |
Re: duratoy conveyor
Nice post Rod, thanks for sharing the pics and an itemized list of what you used.:cool:

Re: duratoy conveyor
no problem! I got a PM from titandigs on it, but figured I'd post it since it wasn't on the forum.... was another casualty of the garden...

Re: duratoy conveyor
Very cool Rod. I just ordered one myself so I was gonna ask.
|
Re: duratoy conveyor
Thanks Rod for the wealth of info and pictures this will be of great help as I have ordered 2 units for myself and a friend in our club.
Hey Neil have you purchased any of these belts from this supplier before? RcGUYFARMS great video I see you have a motor on the shute how do you time it to only open then stop when fully open? And the same for closing? Thanks Paul |
Re: duratoy conveyor
Hey Rod Thanks for posting the picks I was planing on getting my motor mounted this week but I could not find the picks on how you did it. Very clean nice work you did on it..

Re: duratoy conveyor
Hey Paul, I just saw them in an email last week, didn't know the stuff was even available.
Cheer's, Neil. |

Re: duratoy conveyor
Great pictures and detail, rcguyfarms this was the video i was thinking of.
When we receive our units I will measure the belt lenght unless told before by one of the owners who have one. Then will contact that site Neil and get a price from them. I wanted to make a stronger version of the Bruder conveyors I have so this may be the solution for the belt. |

Re: duratoy conveyor
