[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 583502, member: 9124"] I've always been keen to make a portable crusher. Preferably petrol or deisel driven over electric. 240v seems to have great rpm un geared over fuel, but lacks HP. As most 240 electric motors you can almost grab and stall them by hand. High RPM but no balls. And they don't like resistance off the start up. I'm thinking either way a fly wheel would help once optimum rpm is gained. I'm under the impression the most common design adopted is the perfect round cylinder in the load/smash zone? And overloading this "zone" via oversized material / volume , will bog it down , losing (rpm/hp) Am I correct in thinking the collection vent ( processed) material should be variable? Ie: 5mm gate, collect, then refine to 3->mm, so on? And rather than have 50mm material bashing around with 10mm material, thus loading power, loosing rpm/hp etc. Having a tear drop drum in the load/work zone, that only allows material less than say 25mm of the 50mm material to enter. I'm on track of small scale, but I theory might apply to larger scale. [/QUOTE]
