Building a rotary trommel for sifting soil and compost

[@tonyedward6909]

at 1st I thought it was over engineered, but now I love! You sir are a genius.

[@markwitmer5498]

And to think, I did this by hand for hours and hours just a month ago. I kept thinking, "There's definitely a more efficient way of doing this"... Your rotary trommel rocks.

[@motorahead5991]

Nice! I built one of these to sift a while back. I recommend further reducing the speed and adding support under the center wheel. It's going to sag and stretch the belt as soon as you put a little weight in it.

i know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?

Fantastic build, May I recommend putting a wheelbarrow underneath to catch that black gold

[@GeraldineForgeandBlades]

Thanks for your comment. Yes I use a wheelbarrow depending on the task I am doing.

What did he use for it to rotate

[@todosusarem3333]

GENIAL

[@christopherstein2024]

I never knew trommel was a word used in English. I only know it from German.

[@Bowcase]

Running just a smidge to fast. But nice build.

[@GeraldineForgeandBlades]

Thanks, the speed was determined by the gearing I had available. Yes it could benefit by running slower but also a longer trommel sieve would also help, giving more time for the material to sift through.

Could you tell us the sieve size that you have used? Thanks.

[@GeraldineForgeandBlades]

Hi, I’ve used a 6mm mesh size. You could use a larger size depending on your requirement but the 6mm has worked well for me so far.

@@GeraldineForgeandBlades Thank you for sharing. Appreciate that.
