hey guys my name is jason with mount baker mining and metals and on today's video we're going to do
something a little bit different we have a real opportunity for somebody out there we have a 16 by
24 jaw crusher module that's completed and ready to go ready for immediate sale we had a customer
who ordered one of these and then uh his design changed a little bit and he went with a little bit
different machine that we built for him and that's fine we were happy to accommodate the customer
but we have a 16 by 24 module that is ready to go we've got uh obviously i can't run it for you
i can't run this unit today but i'm gonna pull some footage from the exact same model as this
one and show you how this thing works and then we can go through some of the details on it and
i've got a another little thing i want to show you at the end of the video so stay tuned for
that but first let's see how this thing works this is a view looking down into our hopper this is the
material we're going to crush today it's about 12 inch to maybe six or five inch at the smallest
the hopper will vibrate the rocks will work their way down into the drum mount there
they crush down to about one inch minus and then discharge out the conveyor belt into that tote
so this is the results from our 16 by 24 jaw crusher module test
they made a real nice one inch minus product
there's some of the larger stuff and then you can see there's some fines in there too
so
we get requests to crush lots of different things through our jaw crushers and one of
the customers wanted to crush recycled glass bottles first to reduce the volume of them
which it does by about three or four times but also to allow him to magnet out any steel or
use an eddy current to flip out any aluminum pieces that may be in his glass bottle so this
is a really cool one to do for us and listen to that glass crush just it just sounds really cool
so
all right let's go over some of the details of this thing i'm standing in the hopper now the
feed hopper the material gets fed uh down there into the jaw crusher and this hopper
is a little over six and a half feet wide both in length and width so it's pretty much square
let's see if i can get this here's a look here's a look down the jaws there
and those jaws are adjustable down to about one inch minus up to about four or five inch
minus here's another little look you can see the teeth of the jaw plates overlap there so
this can actually this is set pretty tight so it can crush down to about one inch minus
here's a look at the back of the crusher this is how you adjust the jaw gap so this bolt
and spring here goes all the way through and keeps tension on the back of of the swing jaw
here so that just holds tension against the swing jaw so it's not flapping out and banging against
the stationary jaw these two rods here as you tighten those down they pull up a wedge here
in the back let's see if i can get a shot of this i don't know if i'm going to be able to see this
but there's a wedge here and a wedge here and as those pull up it pushes this whole jaw crusher
shuttle and toggle plate and that goes down to the bottom of the swing jaw and it pushes that whole
mechanism forward to tighten the jaws and correspondingly if you drop those wedges down
this whole thing moves back and opens up so the jaw crusher opens and you get a larger
a larger crush out of it here's a shot of the motor plate on the crusher it's a
40 horsepower electric motor 60 hertz but you can wire at 230 or 460.
so that's the power for that the vibrating motor on the vibrating hopper and the motor
on the conveyor are both also three phase but they're in the half horse to two horse range
so as you saw in the previous section of the video the material gets fed here into the jaw crusher
hopper the hopper vibrates the material down through the jaw crusher and then the jaw crusher
drops the material onto a conveyor belt that goes in here on those little rails you see there
so those two rails come out here support the conveyor and the discharge conveyor hangs up you
know kind of out here somewhere and drops it into a pile or a toad or a bunker so you can access it
here's the vibrating motor on the hopper so that thing it's a counter balance
weights on each side of those shafts there on that shaft so as that thing rotates around the
whole the whole hopper vibrates like this and the material slowly feeds down into the jaw crusher
now some of you guys may be thinking man that's an awesome crusher but i don't have three phase
or i don't have enough power to run that unit and uh this is that little uh kind of unique thing we
have right now in the shop this is a caterpillar gen set it's a 50 kw gen set it's in great shape
and so this unit can go with the jaw crusher module and it'll power the whole the whole system
so you can put this thing in your gravel pit or at your yard or your construction site and off this
generator and the jaw crusher you have a totally enclosed unit ready to go so you don't need three
phase power if uh you take this cat generator if you wanted to purchase the jaw crusher module
this thing's got a control panel it's all ready to go we've had our electrician
walk through the whole thing he wired up the panel for us
it's uh it's really good it's been load tested we got the muffler there
it's a nice caterpillar generator let's see if i can get a shot of this name plate here
there's the model number generator there's the kva there's the kilowatt
and it can be wired either for 230 or 460 volts
so i mean this thing in as itself is a pretty cool piece of equipment
but when you pair that cat generator with that jaw crusher module you have a totally enclosed system
and we've sold we've sold modules in the past with diesel motors on them but i really really prefer
to use generators instead and surprisingly the generator is actually a cheaper route
to go to find a tier 4 or those new epa diesel motors to run that jaw crusher
it's actually more expensive to put a diesel motor on the jaw crusher than it is to buy
a three-phase generator and the three-phase generators are so much more universal you can run
not only the jaw crusher module off these but then you have a whole power pack that you can run other
pieces of equipment on you can do switches and and switch stuff around you can do lighting you
can do all sorts of stuff so the generator is the much preferred method uh for power in these big
three-phase piece of equipment that we sell like i said the beginning of the video this is going to
be a real opportunity for someone it's ready for pretty much immediate shipment and between this
and that cat generator you got a totally enclosed uh system ready to go ready to crush your rock or
your concrete or your recycling debris whatever you got so give us a call shoot us an email uh the
the info is in the bottom corner of the screen there so you can find us i'll also put our contact
information and links in the description so uh if you guys are interested reach out and uh grab this
thing while we got it because it won't last very long most of our equipment is uh made to order
so we don't have stuff sitting around in inventory and on the off chance that we do get something
like this sitting around it doesn't last very long so if you're interested give us a call or shoot us
an email otherwise oh one more thing uh we have a lot of you guys been asking about hats and shirts
we've got hats and shirts now on our youtube store so you can check that out on our channel there's a
little tab on the on our youtube channel for the store i'll put a link to that in the description
as well so i hope you guys enjoyed the video thanks for watching and we'll see on the next one
