Mogmans creations 🤔

[Mogman]

Very busy at the moment but going to build a Trommel wash plant to clean the gravel out of a reed bed

Got some flat bar rolled to make the flights

Going to use these wheels from suit case trailers of the airport

Looks like it will be another Mogman masterclass in building what you need for a project. Keep the updates coming as you can now easily post photos.

Will do Graham now I can upload pictures
Got everything I need for the ‘project’ apart from time
My biggest problem is I forget to take pictures while in the process of building stuff and before you know it there is a big gap in the building picture show

This will be the tank that it will be built on just got to cut it in half long ways and weld a partition in to hold back the solids from the water

Woooo! let me find some emojis, this baby needs fireworks, bursting stars and the whole 9yards of clapping hands, thumbs up and pint glasses chinking together.

If this thread isn't a perfect example of what we were missing Julian, what more can I say.

Brings back so many happy memories of Mog creations

Had a few hrs at it today so fully welded the internal spiral then set about a drive for it

Used the motor and gearbox from a roller shutter door, had to turn the cog the was on the output from the gearbox (chain drive to the door) to fit a turned down hub from the same trailer axles that the other wheels are from, trouble was the trailer hub is cast so made it an interference fit the drilled and tapped a hole where they join, screwed a bolt in which had the head cut off but a slot for a screwdriver to tighten it

All works quite well but a bit fast I think but not bad for a pile of scrap so far may have to get a VFD from somewhere (hopefully one will turn up on the yard) and may need some expanded metal for the drive wheel to grip on as it slips when first turned on but if I slow the motor down it could be ok

 

[Mogman]

This was the cog that I turned down to fit the hub

And you can see how it fits to the hub

 

[Komatsu]

Going to be good following this through to the end

have you considered a flange or two to stop it riding down the drive wheels Mog ... be embarrassing to have it migrate off the end

All in hand got a couple of casters with cast centres to fit as not made the chassis for it yet, the beam it’s sat on is only temporary to get the rollers lined up, got a couple of 6” H section to mount it on properly, but glad your keeping an eye out for me

Had an hour this afternoon

Welded an axle to the main tank and also welded a baffle inside it

So the trommel

Got an old dock leveller that was scrapped and welded it to the trommel chassis to make the tipping hopper

Cut the flappy bit to make the hinge and a chute to get the stone into the drum

And then welded the ring I had to stop the drum from traveling fore and aft, made the small wheels that run on the ring but not fitted them yet
