Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
WOW Lou that cable system worked out great! Starting to take shape now. I guess this year instead of wood pellets we'll have to take some dirt to screen for gold.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Hey Lou she's looking great. What voltage are you running on the Bruder conveyors, looks a lot faster than mine. Probable better thou as the belt won't clog up.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Nifty!
What is & where did you get the motor drives for the Bruder conveyers? Is the battery that's running the end conveyer getting low on charge? I'm thinking your trommel rpm should be faster too.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Looks like you will have dirt going in all directions Lou. Looks like it is time to start GOLD MINNING with models. Then they could start to pay for themselfs...

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Thanks everyone..Im kinda likin how its turning out ...Havent worked on it much threw the holidays but will get hard at er soon ..Rob in running a 13.5 volt converter ..running a bit fast on the bruders..Joe the gear motors came from rob ..He found them at https://solarbotics.com/catalog/moto...s/gear-motors/ Very cheap and easy installation ..took about an hour ..Im going to see how everything works with gravel or dirt going through the plant before i make any changes for speed on everthing ..so far almost every thing came from my parts boxes and havent had to spend too much $..Lol

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

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
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 |
