I had the same idea to place on a angle to clear the dirt. If it's straight across all the fines will bunch up and get by the brush.
Which reminds me, had a crazy thought as I'm sitting looking around my man cave and saw some wiper blades I've been collecting to use as treads on the conveyor if needed. I might try to use a wiper blade? I'll take some pics and show you what I mean.

I was thinking something like this might be worth a try??

today was a funny day, spent a good half hour looking at the crusher trying to figure out how and where to mount the motors for the conveyors and crusher drive.

but since I didn't have any motors I decided to paint it.

no sooner had I finished painting it I hear " hi mate , got a package for you .
my mate the courier driver turns up with my motors and now the thing is covered in wet paint!!!!! dam.

at least tomorrows activities are sorted.



any way heres the crusher being delivered back to the shed , its not exactly the colour I wanted but it was on special so at least I saved a couple of bucks.

had to stop for a lunch break , I have some update pictures.

got main drive in and now need to source or make a drive belt.

conveyor motors , I know how im going to fit them but need material to finish them.

so Ive made a start on some walk ways ect, need to try and weld some fencing wire to see if I can make some hand rails.



will see how many times I burn my fingers later.



got the fines shut in and sorted





where the fines will fall through

if learnt something today, if you use a mig welder to weld galvanised fence wire you are lighting a fuse.

Ive welded galv steel before and its not that great, clean the galv off and its not too bad. but the wire just started burning and fizzled out about 10mm shorter than what I started with.

plan B was needed , I had a length of tig welder filler.

cut and bend to suite and weld with mig , works nicely.

Unfortunately I only had 1 length so got to get some more to finish the safety rails.



Bob seem impressed with the crusher.



this is where the main conveyor drive will be







rocks come down this way







safety rails, check .







I have no idea what he's up to in this photo, I think he wants to be fired even before it has run.







time to light the fire , its way too cold to be in the shed.



cheers andy
