Trommel made from left overs
Hi guys,
After seeing the fantastic Trommels on YouTube I thought I would give it a go with the leftover scraps in my shed. Here are a couple of videos of the testing. This is a work in progress/ prototype. Any thoughts? Paul http://youtu.be/AzmcAvdUSK8 http://youtu.be/cplkz_r_iF4 http://youtu.be/iSBsDuOSW1Q |

Re: Trommel made from left overs
The use of your Duratoy conveyer & hopper would be perfect to feed this trommel... then 3 bruder conveyers on the sides to fill trks with sized material.

Re: Trommel made from left overs
Hi Joe, I have another Duratoy conveyor on its way, should be here in a couple of weeks along with A separate conveyor belt assembly.
I will be looking at making new conveyors from Ali at the same size as the Bruder one to be able to use the belts. Paul |

Re: Trommel made from left overs
Trommel is norwegian for drum.
Right on Paul, looking forward to seeing it all come together.

Re: Trommel made from left overs
Great use of extra materials! Trommels are interesting to watch work and now you have a source of 1:14 mulch and bedding. So, where can you buy 1:14 scale landscaping plants? Really nice job on the build.

Re: Trommel made from left overs
Great job on the trommel Paul..Sorts very good and very simple You could use some vibrating motors to help the material slide down the shoots ..I am currentley working on one myself and getting close to finishing..i will post some new picks on my thread

Re: Trommel made from left overs
I got side tracked and thought I would give it a lick of paint and add some work lights.
Thanks for looking Paul |

Re: Trommel made from left overs
Good to see Paul.
Will you hang the trough/feeder spout from the conveyer? Can you purchase just the conveyer (what's shown) by itself? If so, much of a price reduction? Looking forward to the video... 8 - 10mins, I wanna thoroughly see it work.

Re: Trommel made from left overs
Your drum speed might be too slow... my screener bucket spins at about 60rpm, I tip it a couple of degrees from level and the material comes quickly, even damp soil... get the lumps tumbling, that'll vibrate the drum & shake all the fines out. Your feeder trough, could line with puck board - very slippery plastic.
