RCP Compound

Fantastic showing of metal fab skills again Reg, that hopper sits over the belt perfectly!

I got to get busy soon with my own conveyer system, I'm running out space to store dry fines again already!

Thanks Joe. I wasn't sure if it would work so I just had it clamped in place. Not much dirt gets by between the chute and the belt. I guess working with dry sand may require a brush or rubber between the two. I kinda had a feeling that the sides of the hopper were too flat but I wanted a 10"x10" area without a lot of height so that small machines could load it too. This soil is very wet and sticky at the moment so hopefully when it dries out a bit it will be fine. I had thought about rubber mounting the hopper and adding a small vibrating motor but I am afraid it will vibrate the belt causing the material to roll back down. I guess I will just do some more trial and error and see what happens. So far I am pretty pleased with the way it works considering there are no rollers mid belt and the most expensive piece on it is the $15 gear motor.
