Good fun on the weekend crushing & screening, then a bunch of repairs this week, starting with both discharge conveyors on screener. Motor went out on side conveyor & bearings on the idler roller on the rear conveyor.





These brass bushes on the motor side of the drive roller is just a bad idea! The other end of roller ball bearing inserted in the roller... cheap azz low quality china bearings. Every time I have to take a conveyor apart I change all the bearings with a much higher quality American or European bearing, it'll then run much smoother & quieter and less stress on the drive motor.
