Importing and operating a Chinese rock crusher

[@rongray4118]

5 years later watching this video - we just got our unit and I assembled yesterday... time to crush.

[@donalfinn4205]

Like the genuineness of this fella and his crusher. A lot hasn’t gone right and he admits it and tells it like it is.👍👍☘️

[@kevinpwalker9623]

Wish I could find someone who imports these, or do you have a step by step guide on how to get them into the country?

[@shanethomas772]

Great review answered my questions plus... Thank you for taking the time and making a video👍👍👍👍

[@TheMetalButcher]

Chinese machines are like pre-assembled DIY kits. They're fine, as long as you take it apart and do the other $4k worth of work in making it nice.

What sort of mods do they end up needing?

[@davidwillard7334]

Rough ! Chinese ! Workmanship !!

[@UnitCrane514]

You need a conveyor to feed the crusher that will save on time and your back. Then crack a cold one, sit back, and watch it eat

[@CIPCjake]

Thats not the first time your mother in law's S-10 has bounced like that!

[@waltershoults7132]

2 small bottle jacks or flea market screw jacks will take most of the bounce out of the truck, just in front of the rear tires each side

[@coondogtheman]

Looks like it would shake your truck to pieces, look at that flex.

[@kellyriddle8789]

RIP to that S-10 Frame.

[@unimogdave]

Typically the Toggle plate is a fuse. It should be designed to bend before any other damage occurs.

[@waltershoults7132]

Looks like it was a fun project

[@super6954]

Well you certainly like punishing yourself crushing rocks, Maybe you should buy a licence plate stamping machine and an orange jump suit to L.O.L. I think if I was doing any amount of crushing with that machine I'd figure out a hopper if the machine would take it, and load the rock pile with the rear bucket on the backhoe, at least you'd be sitting down for a while . I'd guess that other company spends a lot of time going through and fixing/ modified the machines for their money. I used to be a dealer for Russian made Belarus tractors, some of those were interesting with quality control to! I've been told the Chinese build one machine/part to many different price levels, the more expensive they get the less crap they are. so yours might be the $400 version, but if you have the $1500 one it will be way better or even perfect. Thanks for the video's you definitely aren't afraid to try different things and show the world how it turns out, good or bad. Take care

[@davidwillard7334]

So How Much !!?? Do ! You ! Want ! To ! Spend !!?? Then ??

[@super6954]

@@davidwillard7334If you buy a hard working machine like a "Rock crusher" for $400 thats made in China and is totally unreliable crap that needs improvement or constant fixing. When the $1500 one works right and is reliable It answers it's self how much a guy should really spend. I still work fixing heavy equipment thats basically worn out . It costs a guy a fortune and it still isn't worth the time or money afterwards. They'd of been better putting the money in another machine that was worth it, and been happy at the end. Those guys are operating on a totally false economy trying to save money, thats actually costing them more in lost time/ production and profit later . I'd bet if the time taken and the costs were put in on this job at true hours/ value it's not worth crushing the free rock there. Truck loads in many area's are probably cheaper from a large industrial machine and just spread it where it's needed ,and use the saved time to do something else.

The frame of the vehicle is flexing, that's going to lead to a failure of the vehicle.

[@acme663ryo]

We have spent a bunch of time checking and the best we can tell the frame isn't flexing at all, the body is flopping around on the rubber mounts. Time will tell I guess.

[@RandomPlaceHolderName]

Guarantee you that vibration can't be good for a vehicle.

[@jonathangeorge9495]

So would you buy Chinese again or go with another brand? How much was the up front cost before having to dig into it and fix/correct all the mistakes.

[@acme663ryo]

I am not sure you could find anything not Chinese. Probably $6000 to functional or about half of what you could get one in the states. Even that would just be another Chinese model just higher quality maybe and with some service options. Having run it i think unless you have a need for a small unit for your own purposes you ste miles ahead just having your rock trucked away or gravel delivered. If you like dicking around with stuff like this like I do then ok. It will never "pay" for itself, too slow, too much of your time.

[@waltershoults7132]

Great job on the crusher!!

[@tom5051666]

How about putting a guard over the belt so it doesn't remove someone's arm by mistake?

Love your set up. The engine sounds like a 1 cylinder Lister diesel. Interesting mod on your Chevrolet truck. The suspension will get a good workout.

[@acme663ryo]

We have mounted the back axle solid buy yeah, the who truck is getting a nice massage.

[@super6954]

Pretty well Any single cylinder diesel sounds like an old Lister powered dump truck, it's just like anything with a .236 4 cylinder Perkins, sounds like an old London taxi. I grew up in the U'k listening to this old stuff in the 70's/80's L.O.L

[@unimogdave]

@@acme663ryo Most likely the diesel engine is causing much of the shaking. My crusher is mounted to timbers and is quite smooth. I too am getting tired of the oil flowing out. Wish there was a way of knowing if I am overfilling it.

[@acme663ryo]

@@unimogdave I retapped the oil fills for a grease fitting. So much better. Filling that main cavity took a bunch of grease and the mixture of grease and oil schmoo leaked out for a long time but it has stopped now.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

thanks for the great video! like 15 years ago I was looking high and low for a small jaw crusher. now they're pretty plentiful; at least not totally rare like they were! What kind of rock do you have there would you say? I like how it cleaves nice and square! For driveways, I hear an impact crusher makes the gravel less sharp. Those are now hard to find, but will probably also get more available in the small sizes. Thanks for sharing! I wonder if the Indian units are any better.....Saw a 10HP electric impact crusher online from Portugal the other day. Still trying to get my inquiry responded to lol

[@acme663ryo]

Our rock is a quartzite that varies from hard to OMG hard. Sometimes it makes a noise like breaking glass. I could see it being too sharp for a drive but once down it stays in place.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

If you don't mind my asking, is your property located in Sanders County?

[@acme663ryo]

Yes, by Paradise.

[@willong1000]

@@acme663ryo Thanks for the reply. I thought that the terrain and vegetation looked familiar. I've passed through there numerous times traveling between Port Angeles, WA, and a commercial property that I own in Polson, MT. I used to own a commercial property in Kalispell too; but I sold it this Fall and acquired a little over half a section east of Clinton, just past the Beavertail exit. There's a few lifetimes of rock-cracking opportunities on that acreage, which is why I am watching crusher videos and reviewing other sources of information. I found your candid review and opinions quite helpful. I'm leaning toward purchasing an MBMM 16x10. I was already inclined to buy American, but found the price difference of Chinese crushers was tempting. However, the frustrating communications process with the Chinese just to get a price quote already had me leery of going that route. Your experience with poor quality and importation hassles, particularly undisclosed fees, definitely has me now favoring the MBMM product. Their website states, and their recent videos seem to confirm, that they manufacture their own brand of crushers right here in WA. I intend to visit the factory in person before I make the final purchasing decision. In the meantime, I'm watching a few used crusher auctions up for bids online. Thanks for posting your video and being open and frank about your experience.

[@acme663ryo]

@@willong1000 I think you will get a better machine from BMMM than what I have here. I saw that they are selling a crusher and parts out of Butte right now. One of the public surplus sites, Public Surplus i think.

[@willong1000]

@@acme663ryo Thanks. I found an article about Butte-Silver Bow county planning on selling their crusher and asphalt plant, but I couldn't find an auction listing--I think it is likely completed. Probably way beyond my budget anyhow. What are you using to reduce larger rocks to a size that will fit your crusher? I just bought a Skidril 180 with the thought that, since I don't have to make wages when just working for my projects, I can drill and crack larger rocks with plugs and feathers.

Hi @NelsonStudios ,my name is James and I am interested in buying a 80ton Chinese crusher for a client with a tight budget, I've gotten 3 quotes so far . One seems dirt cheap at 14k , the other two are evenly priced at around 17 and 19k I wanted to know what I should look out for and any modifications I might need to make to it before I give it to a client . In my country most Crushers are Chinese so customers are used to them but I just want to do the best for the client.

to answer the question how to make money with it. start mining a lode mine hire crushing out to gold miner jaw crushers are very notorious at spitting rock out the top. it's part of the fun of one. I have many years working with rock crushers in rock quarries. crushed rock is cheap. the money is made by volume. not really sure why you spent $4k to crush you small amount of rock, but hey it's your thing. that crusher should do at least 10 yards an hour. do not feed it with a conveyor. you need a feed tray. but you should put a conveyor under the truck. to answer another possible question. like I said that crusher looks to be max 10 yard per hour. to sell crushed rock you need at least a 75 yard per hour. plus you need screening equipments. right now it looks like you are making inch and half minus. with a lot of minus. through adjusting I would guess your crusher can make 1/4 to 2 inch.
