How Does a Crushing Spread Work? | Turning Boulders To Dust

[@AaronWitt]

You guys like orange crush?

[@notreallyjuicyjohn3214]

No

[@notreallyjuicyjohn3214]

I don’t no actually

[@1farmer608]

Heck ya. The best pop around.

[@shaneleonard190]

Another great vid aaron 👌 I'm currently running a Hitachi 3600 digger here in Australia, any chance you can get some footage of one on your channel 😎

[@burtbrooks7731]

Hell yeah with crushed ice💪only thing better is grape pop with crushed ice🤘

[@blakeraymond5568]

When people ask me what I do for a living I say exactly what Aaron said “ I make big rocks small rocks”😂

[@mikejones-py3cd]

thanks for doing a video on crushing man its the heart of the construction industry and nobody talks about it did that job for 10 years

[@Truckie1245]

Agreed! Everyone forgets about the crushers. Loud, fast paced when something goes wrong, and just satisfying when it runs well

[@jamalcollins521]

We run concrete through a impact crusher 4043 TR, into a 512 screener to make 304 and 1&2s. Sometimes we’ll run the 304 through our other screener to make 57s. This just motivated me to record and post some videos. Idk why but this is like the coolest shit ever to me lol

[@thewitness9305]

do it! make us some concrete crushing vids! send me a link and ill give ya some views

[@jamalcollins521]

Aaron - fun fact about rocks ... When Atlanta built the Mercedes Benz Stadium in 2017, it meant the demise of the GA Dome next door, which became the Home Depot Backyard park. Every single bit of concrete in the Dome building was broken down, crushed on site, and utilized as the foundation (some 20' deep) for the Backyard, with drainage, dirt, and sod then laid atop. The end result is a NFL stadium sized grass park used both for pregame tailgates, and recreation for the community next to the new stadium.

[@ja5onl6]

Fisher industries also came up with the idea how to build the boarder wall efficiently then implemented it. Amazing company.

[@BiosElement]

Love seeing you talk to the workers. Their experience gives them a unique insight that can't be found elsewhere.

[@littlehills739]

would have been nice to see more crusher shots since its the hole video

[@Truckie1245]

Same! I love quarry work

[@metalmicky]

Any amount of rock rushing videos available on KZbin .

[@RipVDub]

Dirt and dirt-like doings...are great. Always appreciated!

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I've hauled aggregate all over central KY Building hyways houses and everything else. Sand, manufactured sand dust #10, #9, flat 8s, 78, 57, DGA PUG( wet DGA) or Road base. #2. Channel liner. Then I had a underground permit to drive underground in the mine to haul out rock too big for the convertor belt.

[@markybear92840]

Your opener totally reminded me of Mike Rowe and a Dirty Jobs opening! You just forgot, "this is my job". Job well done!

[@AaronWitt]

thank you Mark!

[@spurly48]

The company I work for is very similar to Fisher Industries, except we don’t manufacture the equipment. Underground limestone mine, to dredging sand and gravel, sand drying operations for our mortar supply company, to asphalt plants, concrete ready mix plants, block manufacturing, and precast walls and bridge girders, and road construction crews. All within 100 mile radius.

[@AaronWitt]

that's awesome

[@Everydaylove1]

i addicted to watch your videos regularly 😅

[@AaronWitt]

thank you!!!

[@anthonycourteaux8165]

They have a water purfier tank to clean gravel screens shake the size rocks 3/4 1/2

[@terrycormier5492]

You do have great docs on anything you present nice work

[@lesflynn4455]

Really interesting stuff mate. I think here in Oz we're slowly getting to the efficiency scale of the US, but man. The vertical integration of the company working on I17 is really impressive. They have some serious assets.

[@deathaman1125]

This was perfectly timed cause a small crushing crew just moved in by our shop

[@terrapinrocks]

There's gold in that wash. Is there any kind of trap on their plant to collect it? If not there should be.

[@ScreamOG1]

The crusher 'bends the rocks over the bars'... got it.

[@timsziminski2461]

I wonder if the river bed has Gold they should have a couple sluice runs 👍👊

[@Bowiiihowdy]

Some places do.. it's not normally alot

[@lesflynn4455]

I often wonder about that, when we're working around an old creek.

[@jamesbarrett5226]

Came here to say the same thing. Makes me wonder just how much runs through 900,000 tons of material. Even the lowest percentage, would be a good chunk.

[@jacksonmagriplis6617]

Bending rocks 😅, that’s a good one, never seen rocks bend in over 42 years of crushing rocks

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Thank you! How many KW or KVA are each genset? :)

[@volvtech7773]

I was in the drilling blasting front production step of things only crushers I really worked with was gyrating crushers. Did off season crushing and screening jobs here the man brand I always saw was Wirtgen I also ran a massive wirtgen 2200 surface ripping bedrock all day

[@kennethbyington516]

Gyrating as in "cone," crusher? Think 🤔 u mean what my knowledge is a what I call a cone crusher.

[@volvtech7773]

@@kennethbyington516 yes if you look up gyratory crusher you will see a cone style crusher mantle

Ok then we're talking same kind. Cool. 👍 yeah it's neat stuff. I used cone? Impactor and jaw. I wouldn't mind getting back into it either.

What is cobble? Is that like a type of rock?

[@marshallbrumfield]

Learned something new today! Very neat!

[@AaronWitt]

love it!!

[@markymarc136]

So the trucks dump right next to the conveyor, but what feeds the conveyor?

[@blakejordan1855]

They’ve built a ramp and so the dump truck is dumping straight onto the belt that’s what he meant they canceled out the need for another loader

[@rs2352]

Videos of this caliber should be offered in STEM Classes in School. If the kids can see the 'end game', getting started in the game is that much easier. The range of STEM involved in such a 'cradle to grave' operation is deceptively vast....

[@jimsestito8207]

More lanes less traffic? If you build it... Be great to see Fish Sand and Gravel making 1.5" ballast stones to put down a high speed rail line along this I-17, come on!

No rail going up this pass as it's a 2000 ft or so climb in 8 miles.

[@RoundaboutASMR]

Definitely not missing that thumbnail haha

[@dundonrl]

I have three lockout locks, since there are generally more than once location that needs to be locked out. In the Navy we didn't use lockouts locks, but had lockout tags that were signed by numerous people before hanging them and had to get permission from someone in charge (later in my Navy career I was that person in charge for electronics) to tag out and untag equipment.

[@reidaren6378]

I'd rather have a mobile jaw crusher and a mobile cone crusher at the 349 and load directly into an A60 with a wheel loader. We do that alot in Sweden and we produce macadam at the same time as like a 1/2" material. That's how we Swedes do it at least🤪

[@peterferan4389]

A large conical stockpile segregated the aggregate..not good. Roading requires cubical shape aggregate not round or you can't compact it therefore maiking big rocks into small ones is what is done in a mine....making construction aggregates is as complex as the end use
