Testing a mini rock crusher

Doing maintenance on a mini rock crusher, running bluestone though it, then running blue shale though it.

[@mariesophie3053]

The enclosed garage looks great .

[@scottbrady6240]

Bro has leveled up for sure, real fine like.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

I thought for a minute Andrew put a power operator n the roll up door! :But nope (good) the stock operators on it are just smooth! :)

[@citichap]

@@MikeBaxterABC I think Andrew opted for the chains instead of a power motor is because it's a great way for him to keep in shape.

[@xiangjiashen4060]

The enclosed garage is way better then the old

[@andreydre3653]

He is becoming the Westin diesel of work equipment 🙌🙌🙌

[@therealwulf]

Sitting inside the hopper of a rock crusher AS IT IS RUNNING is definitely one of the sketchier things Andrew has done.

[@TheSubatomicCheese]

And sticking your hands in the hopper trying to hold advancing rocks back as it's running. And trying to move it/get it unstuck while standing on a pile of rocks behind and having it roll back. One literal slip-up off those rocks and it could have easily rolled back on him. In the long run, that little machine is an accident waiting to happen if Andrew keeps it. A larger machine is more stable, easier to move (read as, safer), and could handle more rock easier (again, safer).

[@rider573]

And almost rolling it over off the pallet 0.5 seconds after starting.

[@bjem2287]

I am getting concerned that Andrew is drawing ever closer to getting a serious injury. I'm the same age as him and you can't keep doing the things he does forever.

[@WoLpH]

Honestly... it doesn't draw you in so it still seems one of the less sketchy things he's done if you ask me. I fully trust him to not get hurt as long as he's paying attention, I just hope there won't be a day when he's a little bit off his game...

[@Splunkzop]

@@rider573 I was thinking he would be setting up a ramp to drive it off the pallet without tipping it. Next thing he does is tip it over. Sitting on the machine while it is running? If he does stupid things all the time, how is he still alive? How does he still have all his limbs? If he is that lucky, he should buy a lottery ticket.

[@richardnott9587]

I believe the last scene should be it trying to get on the trailer to take it back. Thank you for showing us this machine.

[@jrogertrudel6356]

Agreed

[@MrPGT]

Or used as a second stage, fed by his big crusher.

[@retro8696]

I just took off like 3 tuck loads of old busted cinder blocks this thing would have saved me a lot of time and I could have used the powder/crushed cinder blocks for filling holes.

[@guytech7310]

its only got a 14 HP engine in it. Probably to reduce the chance of something breaking. Some times machines are under powered because more power causes parts to fail.

[@user-su8oq6wh5h]

Don't think that little engine will last many hours, you know it's as cheap as possible.

[@gameknight0130]

hey Andrew, I used to work in an aggregate mine that ran jaw crushers, and we had one of the largest ones in our company. the jaws on that mini one don't look like they're any sort of special material, maybe cast steel. you should most definitely be wary in that sense because with harder rocks (granite, etc.) are prone to shooting back out of the jaws. one thing we do to minimize that chance as much as possible, is our jaw plates are chrome steel-structured and manganese-faced. if you're looking into keeping that unit long-term (which I wouldn't recommend, by the way. it's laughably undersized) is to definitely look into those types of jaw plates for your own safety, others' safety, and the longevity of your crusher

[@LibertyDankmeme]

this one is actually a good size for walnuts at christmas time

[@young11984]

That machine doesnt have longevity designed into it anywhere for Andrews work ethic, about 3-4 times of moving it and having to push it around it will probably be pinched up in a bucket😂, maybe the larger one will have more power and move effortlessly.

[@LibertyDankmeme]

@@young11984 yea i know - the walnut crusher thing for Christmas time is a joke

[@guytech7310]

FYI: From upsen specs: "The jaw plate is made of high manganese 18" If it was cast steel it would broke already.

[@TechGorilla1987]

I used to help replace the 10K lb jaw dies on large primary crushers.

[@lemagreengreen]

That is incredibly neat. I've seen those super cheap little AliBaba imported Chinese jaw crushers and they apparently work pretty good but this is on a different level, would be pretty ideal for a small property owner. "Survived testing by Andrew Camarata" should be some sort of industry certification at this point

[@chrisgodfrey-um9yz]

It is a cute toy but given the effort and time I am sure you can get granular a delivered cheaper

"Fisher price my first crusher" Nice little piece of equipment, Andrew. Great for DIY garden renovation jobs where paving slabs need recycling for hardcore to make a slab or Pathway. Small enough to get through a side gate or doorway and small enough to position by the sofa at Christmas to crush your walnuts

This thing reminds me of the elephant and the streaker. Elephant said to the streaker, "it's cute but can it pick up peanuts"!

The best use of this is driveways and backyards where the only access is a small path and getting rock delivered is impractical.

[@ewanstewart8011]

Well done for greasing the machine before you started to use it. I noticed that the lower end of the conveyor belt was getting a build up of material underneath it which will in the long run cause excessive wear,and the exhaust fumes were a bit much when it was overloaded ,Apart from that it seems okay, I would say that it is more suited to crushing building rubble 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dear Mr. Camarata. 👍👌👏 You are absolutely right! This crusher needs a more powerful engine or to be geared down for having more torque. Also for the driving unit (it's a joke).
