How I Built My Home Made Rock Crusher

[@josephatherton2781]

Good one mate , you done a good job building that crusher , It look great

[@matthewschroebel421]

Excellent idea. An expanded steel safety guard over the belt would be a nice addition.

[@whez08]

Thanks for explaining everything in such clear manner. Maybe some time you can do a short video of the crusher running with the front plate removed (of course without throwing any rocks into it). Anyway, that's one of the best vids on the subject around.

[@schristiansen3151]

The front support bearing is mounted in the front plate so that could get ugly fast.

[@cherylordaz5232]

honestly, great video. clear, concise and great build. Easy to understand and follow. Thank you.

[@LXRPostalProspecting]

That's a nice machine you made, well done.

[@UnhingedHarry]

Some good tips, thanks.

[@philparrott4424]

Good work, wanting to build slightly bigger on to crush glass here in the Philippines.

[@slg7300]

Planning my build.. Would holes on the bottom 1 or 3 plates for the processed material to fall be better. Gravity usually makes things fall down. I'm thinking a bigger flale shaft would be better to maybe 1 inch? Would horizontal weld lines on inside plates help brake material better? What would be a better/harder material than chain or attached to end of chains?

[@TimeSurfer206]

I like it! One thought, and one question: The thought: Have you pondered adding a nut and bolt to the final link of chain, to give the flails a better head, and: The question: What RPM are you running the shaft? I'm going electric.

[@aaronfrazier5841]

RE : The Dust Exhaust Pipe ... One idea you might like to try is to weld on a metal sleeve to which you push the Duct Pipe onto ... hold it on with a large metal pressure clamp ring that is much like a hose clamp but larger !!

[@shanelee8085]

Good job brother, get a green belt from the parts store, they are for heavy use. And drill holes in the bottom for your heavier ore will sink.

[@Puddin]

I've not had any issues with the belt on there now. Though when i do to change it I'll keep that in mind

[@cliffandrews]

Nice job.👍

[@MummyMaeandSonPhilipAbbey]

Hi Puddin, what a great job you did, can you please tell us the Width and length of the shaft and also what size bearings.

[@kennethkustren9381]

I believe you should add a reservoir and 1/4" dripline. Such as would cut the dust to minimum. just a small tap, like used for adding a line to your refridgerator from your potable water source.

[@charlesjean174]

Actual measurements would be really appreciated

[@efecan82]

that was very helpful, thanks!

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

you can make a tensioner on the belt

[@liliputjack8308]

I'm thinking of making such a mill. In a 50 cm diameter mill, what is the power of the gasoline engine I'm going to need?

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

imma gonna build me one 😊

[@rkb6783]

Results of your crushed materials. As in size ? Microns ? Chunks ?

[@robertfarnham3652]

For where you put the sticky tape I would actually go and get myself a 3-inch fight to a 6-in pipe and weld it and then make it so there you can slide a pipe onto it and take it off if you want

[@peterwiley4383]

What do u think of running it as a direct drive? Did you overlap the steel, 135’s.

[@ekobudi68]

Excuse master, may be can u send me technical draw that cruisher. I wanna made that. Thank u.

[@flavioeliseo]

Excellent video! Which diameter did you made the holes in the wall? 1/8"?

[@joshuafrigillana6240]

If you put a glass on the pulverizer machine , will it still work ?

[@heilj1]

What diameter of shaft did you use and was it keyed? Also what was the outside diameter of the pulleys?

[@djp1952]

How far between chains and inside of box?

[@johnmurphy8593]

Building chain impact mill here. . . .Just wondering what size drill holes you have drilled for your exhaust port. . . . and how many. . . .I did my barrel out of 500mm x 150mm (20" x 6") line pipe that was 10mm (3/8") thick . .. . .my first attempt. . . ..my shaft is 25mm (1") and chain is Grade 8 HT steel Galvanised . . . . .Still got a way to go. . . .Have plans of coupling this to a recirculating wet sluice. . ..As I live in a dry region of South OZ. . .

[@Puddin]

In this vid I use 4mm holes for the exhaust. After using it though I'd recommend double the amount of holes I have in this vid.

[@johnmurphy8593]

@@Puddin thanks man. . . ..really appreciate the info. . .. will let ya know how i go..

[@barsos1]

Very nice job mate.jas

[@triac777]

Flanged pillow block bearings.

[@mrdiyguy123]

What is the point of turning a rock into dust? I guess I don't understand the point of this machine.

[@Puddin]

If you wish to fully extract elements from rock you need to have it crushed as fine as possible. I originally built it to crush gold ore but ended up using it primarily for manganese ore.

[@mrdiyguy123]

@@Puddin Thanks. I learned something new!

[@downunderdan5132]

Have a look at a Metso product called a knitter crusher - very similar in principle 😎😉

[@charlesjean174]

Hi Sir, any chance you would be in a position to assist me build one of my own. Am in Kiambu Kenya

[@mineyourbusiness3193]

How many barings do you need?

[@markhooper5822]

How deep is it 8 inch deep 10 inch deep?

[@jimfamille7025]

why not use a carrage bolts inside ..!??

[@chafikmondial]

But where is the ground terrace comes out?

[@andrewgivens5070]

I need help building a stamp mill. Want to collaborate?

[@BrokenRRT]

Are the chains long enough?

[@OHBINEY]

What's the engine type and hp

[@reltcl1995]

I got a question would this crush mountain rock in Virginia

[@lyon406]

It would be better to use rock from West Virginia mountains.

[@veisal1]

Hello thank you for the great video, if it is not a problem for you, can you send me your drawings on rock crusher width brace, kind of like drawings, thanks in advance

[@Arrcom1]

good video

[@d.jensen5153]

I spent two seasons in the octagon.

[@Mr_Damion_Scott]

how much to make me one?

[@ninjidigger8479]

Hey! Can you PM me everything I will need to build such a rock crusher dimensions, part names, etc? I want to build one as soon as possible. You can also add my Facebook if you're interested. Thanks!

[@scralet017greer3]

This guy has never even built a dog house.

[@gamingprooriginaljesse8264]

i wonder why are they so expensive >.>

[@handleismyhandle]

It costs a fortune to make a metal shaft rotate and short lengths of chain cost thousands of dollars also. It's not like you could just rotate a shaft between some $20 bearings inside of an old propane tank with a couple pieces of chain welded on. Obviously.

[@handleismyhandle]

You need osmium-technetium chain prepared in vacuum under zero gravity or or rocks will not break.

[@nicktohzyu]

why not use an electric motor?

[@handleismyhandle]

Probably used gasoline engine for portability is my guess. Also, crushing is very loud, this way you can use mill away from people.

[@chrisbernhardt8406]

Are you willing to make me a crusher

[@daviddrury3581]

how thick is the body

[@Puddin]

I used 1/4" mild steel for the whole body

[@jintuboruah1623]

😂😂😂😂😂😂
