If you guys want to auto action on the outlet door, Robs almost there. All you have to do is cut or file notches at 90 deg to the arm attachment point on the wheel. Install a micro switch with the same 12 volts as the motor runs on using the normally open contacts. Momentarily supply power and the switch closes and will run till it drops into the next slot and shuts off. I hope this make sense as this is how our rail switches work at our live steam track.

Uh Huh! I was just about to start scouring your posts to find this :)

Sorry had to cut and run early, had a not so important issue with a phone bill that my wife wanted me to fix up immediately.. and well, gotta keep 'em happy I guess :)

Good to meet you guys and hopefully I'll have my machine up and running for next meet.

Cool thread! A nice option for loading trucks, if you don't have a loader or excavator. It would just require someone to shovel some dirt by hand, onto the conveyer. Thanks for posting all the information guys. Someday I might have to get one of these.

A short video showing the automation of the conveyor now fitted with a vibration unit as the ground rubber tends to hold in the hopper.Will post another view when I can upload it.

The vibrator was a smart addition. It seems to work well, good job. Maybe its me but I can't see the video posted about the child powered conveyor.

Ha ha! That's awesome. The kid powered conveyors look like a child sweatshop or something.

It must be DC-Kids :rolleyes:

Re: duratoy conveyor
 

Roughly what is the wall angle in the hopper? I am looking at building a hopper for rubber and don't want issues.

Thanks
