RCP Compound
I have been following along with my fellow Canadians projects and construction sites. The more I see of them the more envious I become so it was time to start something of my own. I don't really have a master plan but I thought that I needed some material to work with first. My Dad had an old screen out of a screening plant so I rigged up a haywire frame on my S10 dump and got sifting dirt. Once I had a bit of nice material hauled and dumped beside the shop I started to build my first road into the bush. Of course I had to do a little logging first with the skidder before the road base could be hauled in....
Here's how I got things started. More videos to come and hopefully more progress in the near future! I need a big road for my 1/10 equipment so this is going to take a while! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afqf...tJ-DusnO8Onw7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKoT...tJ-DusnO8Onw7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Nf...tJ-DusnO8Onw7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4cC...tJ-DusnO8Onw7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIOT...tJ-DusnO8Onw7A Reg |

I know it's hard to find fellow 1/10th scale buddies but the compound will keep you busy and if friends visit I'm sure you'll let them help operate equipment for ya:D:D I'm glad your doing this Reg. With your talent and imagination, can't wait to see what you create.:cool: Mario |
Re: RCP Compound
Thanks Mario. No need to worry about a scale difference here. I figure making everything to fit the bigger scale will only make more room for the "Lil ones"! Just watch out if the KW850 is loaded and headed your way!lol

Re: RCP Compound
Lol,, I see how your are!! :). So if I visit over winter I'll have a place for the dozer.? Right? But have to commute from Seattle :). Lol!! I sometimes travel with my wife when she visits family in Seattle. January/February time. If i do I'm sure I'll look into stopping by. I wonder what the TSA agents would think of my wife having the dozer undercarriage in her carry-on?? Or better yet how long I would have to sit in some terrorist holding facility trying to explain what a sabertooth esc and windshield wiper motors are doing in my luggage!!!

Re: RCP Compound
Well I am trying to follow Mario's lead with the screener idea. I through this together this afternoon but it needs a lot of adjusting to work properly. I used a 12v motor and TIG welded another shaft to the side of the motor shaft creating a crankshaft...There was a lot of shafting going on...:eek: Anyway this hooks to a connecting rod that attaches to the screen deck. The deck sits on springs and has two different screens. If I can get it working decent, I will build some conveyors to move all three sorts further out. The material I am processing in the video has already been screened down to less than half inch so not much really gets separated out. It really needs some more bracing so that it doesn't hammer around so much! Only the screen should shake right:o.
Here's what I built today....http://youtu.be/g7L3tEt4n7M http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps018993a8.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps34d922fa.jpg |
Re: RCP Compound
I'm a little confused.:confused::confused:......
A master of metal builds a screener out of wood? :confused::confused: Tough to powder coat isn't it ?? :lol: It's working Reg! That's what counts! I've come to accept there is no such thing as a silent screener and to **** with the neighbours!:cop::lol: |

Re: RCP Compound
Woah Reg you have been busy! Winter (yarder building season) will be here soon enough :D
hmm..... http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/...1&d=1301947179 |
Re: RCP Compound
Instead of a crankshaft, how about a vibrating screen with a counterweight on the motor, motor secured to the screen & screen resting on springs? I've been doing it this way for yrs. It's virtually as noisy, but a lot less moving parts & metal fatigue.
My future stationary screener will be a lot like Lou's trommel, now that I have finally sourced a perfect conveyer belt material. Very quiet & a lot less dust & debris flying around. |
