The problem I see with going electric is the horsepower needed to run the crusher and trying to start a 3hp single motor the current draw would be huge and more than likely still under rated. Next week I'm taking our old house batteries up to the scrapyard and I have seen shelves of petrol...

G'Day Guy's, Sorry to take so long and as I'm on my shed laptop had to reset my password, now here is a front view of the crusher showing the dual spherical bearing setup which is grease filled. Now I also put a grease nipple under so when greasing the old grease can be purged...

Adelaide Hills in SA mate

G'Day Guy's, Over the years I have posted about this crusher and honestly it's just taking up room in my shed, so it is time time to get it finished and sold as I won't get the chance to use it. Now when I did have it working with that old 10hp Honda motor it did crush the...

G'day Guy's, Well got it cut and fitted up this morning then life got in the way so this weekend I'll burn it all in as I do have a couple of tig welding jobs to do before I can change my caddy over to arc welding. Now that yellow lifting magnet is supposed to do 200kg's...

Jack I have repaired hammer mills throughout my life and the hammers are fixed on all the one's I have done, I have looked at a few homebuilt ones and yes most use floating ones. This design of mine where the hammers are just shy of the choccy blocks will crush anything in it's path period. Got...

G'Day Guy's, Well this arvo over a dram or 2 thinking about this hammer mill design I reckon putting choccy blocks on the ID of the housing to be the outer crushing part. Now this will decrease the diameter of the first draft and by going less over hang of the hammer will...

G'Day Guy's, Well with fog all around on a Sunday morning what better time to get my shed fire raging and use my old drawing machine to sketch out the idea of this hammer mill I've been thinking about for long time. I had 8 of these hammers that came out of concrete hammer...

G'Day Sand surfer by using a VFD on the hydraulic pump motor I can set the hertz to 100 then just a 5K pot can be used to dial in the speed as the VFD will adjust the rpm of the motor. Anyway found a 4-1/2" ali pulley to be the donor for the primary drive and as the pump had a tapered output...
