Gravel screener build
I've began working on a gravel sifting/screener. I don't have plans or specs or have ever seen one up close. I'm building with pictures, videos and any information I can find on company website.
I am also wrestling with the idea of having it on a stationary base or on a trailer for mobility. Since this will be my second screener build I'm attempting to do something a bit more challenging. The first one was an attempt on making a bar separator and wound up with a vibrating screen. So here is what I have so far. And PLEASE If you have any ideas or have made one or have up close pictures please don't be shy and reply.http:// |

Re: Gravel screener build
Thanks PUMPTECH. I drilled pilot holes and cut the PVC with a jig saw, I used a downward facing blade so I can see the lines as I cut. It was doing the measurement and making straight lines on a round object that took the most time.
I will be posting some pics of the inside and show how I got the screens fastened in. |

Re: Gravel screener build
seeing that pipe gives me an idea. in the water well drilling industry they have machines to slot casing. I wonder if I can get one of the guys to take some 7 or 8" casing and cut 4 large "slot" windows in the section.... might work, might not.... hmm.

Ideally I was getting that a semi truck exhaust pipe would be best, on that thought since BIGFORD is the only trucker I know in my reach I'm going to ask him if he has any old exhaust pipe around him. might get lucky. |

Re: Gravel screener build
I think a lot of guys are using air and oil filter screens for trommels. Works well and very cheap if you know a place to get them used.

Re: Gravel screener build
Thanks man If you have any 5 or 6 inch pipe close to 30 inches long would be dynamite, any old air filter would be good as well good for the screen.

Re: Gravel screener build
I have that size pipe Pvc or steel ? And I will get you the mesh from the air cleaners no problem

Re: Gravel screener build
I would say steel, it should have a more authentic look some what when I'm done. OH the thinner the pipe the better. Thanks

Re: Gravel screener build
This is the outer mesh from an air cleaner that I use in my 275 MF tractor, measures close to 5 inches diameter. The ends are made from oak.
The tube in the background I can't remember where I got that from, the diameter a bit smaller, closer to 4 inches. The holes are much too small for screening dirt, be a good tube for sifting pit run to get sandblast sand quality.
