[titandigs]

Looks good Lou,
A lot more detail than mine, where did you get the infeed and out feed belts from?
Paul

[tracksntreadslou]

Thank you Aron ,Jason and Paul ..Paul the Belt was sourced at a recycling junk yard ..Not sure where it s original use was for ..I had a heavier belt with the rubber pockets that was too heavy so i cut the pockets or should i say kleats off and glued them on the belt ..5 different glues and this one seem to be holding ok ..I did rip one off testing this weekend tho..Hey Paul ..Im thinking the the belt on a treadmill may even work better if you can find one thats been junked
I have a few buggs to work out and some minor adjustments and we will see ..The bruders had to be drilled out at the end holes to tighten up the belt and speeds a touch fast but i can live with that ..I ran some gravel through and it worked ok

Perhaps reverse the sprockets on the two conveyers for greater speed & capacity... gotta get that tonnage per hour up.

Joe things seemed to be sorting at a consistant speed and after a bit of power supply trouble shooting the machine ran the pretty much nostop full 4 hours on the sunday..I still have some mods and tweeking with the front conveyor ..Rocks would occasionlly jam between the drum and front conveyor on a few of the screws i had on the inside of the drum holding the flange on the outside ..i wil file those off ...there was also material falling off the sides of the front of the conveyor as it entered the trommel ..Some of this would get in between the belt so im going to have to seal that part up and carry on with the shute so everthing falls of the end ..If you see in the vid there is some rolling around the front roller on occasion ..and tighten up the belt just minor stuff

Don't know how I didn't find this thread when I started researching my conveyer and screen? Very neat! I may need to borrow a few of your ideas.
