Home Made Rock Crusher

[ChrisM]

Manged to get a bit of time in the dungeon the other day and gave the crusher a bit of a hurry up. Cut out and attached the material feeder tube and made a final choice in the outlet side. I opted to work on the side panel for the material outlet only because I felt that given the steel thicknesses Im using by incorporating it into the main drum may have weakened its integrity.At this point in the project I dont want to take any silly chances that can be potentially very painfull to the operators.

Ive put together a temp brace to the unit, this way I can walk around it watching it carefully during the test run. So far the thing runs solid. Ive got no shift or slide from the pulleys and the drum/chain are holding up really well.
I couldnt help myself and dropped a fewrocks into it.......nice
Hopefully this weekend for the real test...

Thats the result of the first pass. Gotta be happy with that.

That is an impressive piece of equipment , hope everything is inline and straight . Don't want it building up a resonance .

It actually took longer to set up a blasted utube account and navigate through it than it took to build this crusher.The test run went ok. I did get a nasty material leak from the top plate but that was an oversee on my part. When I cut the barrell with a grinder I forgot to level out the cut aftewards. Not a huge drama. Apart from that the thing held together strong.
Hope you enjoy guys.
