Metso Lokotrack LT120, Jaw Crusher.

Really Neat!

I really like the timing belt and drive sprockets, but do you think that plastic roller chain and standard chain sprockets would hold up or would there be too much stress and vibration in this application?

I'm asking because if I attempt something like this, it would be much easier for me to use roller chain and buy sprockets vs machining timing sprockets. Also, where did you find the timing belt?

Thanks for the pictures!

How did you join the conveyor belt? Do you have any pictures of that and what exactly is the belt material? Cloth reinforced rubber?

Thanks!

This timing belt is really strong, I would be suprised if it would tear apart.

Both belt and pulleys are from Maedler.de.

I did join the belt with a glue called Liquisole, I got it from my local food store, its a really common glue around here, got a very strong joint from it, and the joint is still flexible.

The belt material in Neoprene rubber 1.5mm thick.

Well, I got a bit more done to the crusher. I got a new more powerful motor for the feeder, works much better now.

Also got most of the conveyor done, a few more pieces to do but Im almost there.

Here are a few pics.

Not really, I have done a test run, but I forgot that I just had spot welded the fixed crush plate so it came loose and that was the end of that test!

I did re-weld it the other day though, so now it shouldn't break loose.

One more thing I have noticed is that the crush plates should go into each other if you would lay them together, as the sit in the crusher now, the tops of the pattern lines up with each other, guess it would crush better the other way.

That's about it, it's summer now and I don't spend much time in this hobby this time of the year, more of a "get through the winter" kinda hobby.
