Thanks for the link Bo. I notice the minimum drum diameter they recommend is 3" and that's probably due to the staples that keep it together can't make a tight radius.And that's for a commercial use , for what I'm doing this might work? I might have to enquire further. Thanks again

Hey Mario, Izzy had a belt made for my belt trailer that is continuous and is vulcanized so it doesn't have a seam and its a real nice . Give him a holler it will work perfect and can be made any length

Looks good Mario!! Man I miss working with wood!! A couple years ago, before I had any metal equipment , I built a springer tug. I got detailed with the superstructure. All wood and I thought that was unforgiving!! That tug is a good part of the reason I bought a mill/lathe combo!!! I really wish I could make hydraulics from wood!!! Good idea to build and learn, that what I need to start doing . Keep up the pics!! .

Well, I did lots tonight and got nothing accomplished
Call it an evening of beads and rubber belt experiments. ....did I just say that?

It looks like it's going to work great Mario. Are these conveyors going to be stationary or mobile so you can move them with the dozer or a truck?

Thanks Mike. It's still a work in progress but I'm liking the results so far.

Thanks Kent. Both conveyors will be very location specific and stationary. i do have a bruder conveyor that can be used in various spots around the pit. and who knows what future things might come along

I don't want to high jack coopers thread and thought best to share on mine....
Thanks to the efforts and experience of a few forum members I've come to realize that I need to change some of my construction site plans.
I've run into a conveyor capability issue.
I want to be able to collect screener material directly onto a conveyor and fill a hopper similar to a duratoy Sandmaster. That way I can load my Izzy tri axle dump trailer without scratching or doing any damage contacting it with the hoe or loader and use to haul the road building material around.
Problem is, the black pete truck has a stack clearance of 11" so the hopper will sit high to begin with. I'd also like the hopper to have the capacity to fill atleast one trailer load.....starting to look like this hopper is going to be atleast 2ft high! So a conveyor at 20 degrees won't work unless I run it from an elevated area which means I can't feed with the loader.......

So, plan B. The hopper will not be a drive under type but have a funnel bottom at ground level which feeds a conveyor ( #3) to load the trucks. That way, No worries about height clearance or truck width for friends who visit and run their trucks in the yard.
i should have taken measurements and figured this out in the fall! The yard is gone and buried in snow now but I really want to get a jump start for next season and build as much as I can now so I don't waste the play season with building stuff!
All comments and suggestions welcome!

Hey Mario, just back under the sandmaster, like we do when hauling wet batch concrete from the drum.
Cheers, Neil.

[woodhog]

Mario,most of the sandmasters are raised to fit the trucks under,but you can cut the bottom of the hopper where the funnel goes down the square tube off and gain a little clearance. also if you are gonna load rough dirt in it you will have to take the grate out of it or it will stay plugged all the time.

[Cooper]

Hey Mario, just put a super fast race motor on the belt!! It will shoot it up there then!! Like those gravel chuckers they have for some dump trucks lol!!
