RCP Compound

Just an idea for your screener all the vibrator motors we use at work have two equal counter weights with set screws to lock them to the motor shaft so if they are directly cross from each other there isn't any vibration and so you can loosen one and turn it towards the other to create more vibration ect. This way you can adjust how much vibration you have without changing the motor speed. Just a thought if your still using your screener it might cut down on noise or change the direction of the motor to horizontal position.

That's a great idea with the counter weights. The motor I had only has the shaft sticking out on one end so I am only using one weight. I made a weight out of aluminum first but it wasn't heavy enough. Next I glued a strip of lead sheet to the aluminum weight but it still wasn't enough so I ended up making one out of brass. It seems to be a good setup now as too much vibration will start to effect the material moving up the belt. I also added a roller underneath along with a foam wiper and rails up the sides of the belt. I had to make adjustments during filming but after a few trips back into the shop it was working fairly well. I need to make some changes near the top of the belt as that is were dirt is being introduced onto the inside of it causing it to build up near the bottom roller. The wiper I made helps but isn't doing a great job. Next time I'm at a store I will be looking for a stiff brush. Perhaps a windshield scraper type brush will do the trick....

Spent some time working on the pile today. It was a gong show of broken parts and horrible driving but I had some fun too....

Reg, I've got this great white stuff you can use as material to haul. Would you like me to send you some? I've got plenty to spare as you well know. Lol.
My new word I came up with to describe west coast people......Forget tropicana, how about tropicanadian!

In all honesty we could use some of that white stuff here. The weather has been amazing but only a fool would be so short sighted not to see where this is going. I'm not a "global warming", "Green peacer" type at all and I do my fair share of polluting when I can but this is getting scary! We have had no snow at our house other than a very light dusting for 3 years running. We ran the fish boat up the island last week to deliver some fish and the mountains on the central island have no snow at all other than the stuff that doesn't go away. The way the mountains look now is the way they should look in September and it's very dry. Even if we get a bunch of rain it will only be a temporary fix. It's like all the cold weather has moved east and we don't get a winter anymore....
