Hey guys my name is Jason with Mount Baker Mining and Metals and today I
wanted to show off one of our new products behind me. This is a 16 by 24
jaw crusher module, but it's run with about a 50 horsepower Perkins diesel. So
we'll get it fired up well show you how it works and then I'll walk around and
explain in detail about operation and instructions about how to make it run.
So this is, again, about a 50 horsepower Perkins engine that runs this unit. It's
a water-cooled engine and it's a four-cylinder diesel. We've installed an
over center clutch here so you can start the diesel, get the RPM where you like it,
and then engage the jaw crusher. The starting procedure, I'll go through it
real quick, and then we'll actually get it started here. So you get the key going,
you have the glow plugs. I like to start it up and get it about 1200 to
1400 rpm. Engage the jaw crusher, so it's a little bit easier on
the clutch, and then you use the throttle up here to increase the RPM of the
diesel until the jaw crusher is running about 275 to 300 rpm. And on the RPM
gauge here on them on the engine, that's about in the 2000 range. Okay so now I'll
take you on a little walk around to the jaw crusher and show you some of the
other features. Here's the fuel tank, so you can fuel it's a diesel tank about 15
gallons. We have the battery under here. And then walking down this way this is
this is really essentially a standard 16 by 24 jaw crusher other than the power
that run the jaw crusher. And then because this is going to a place where
there isn't any three-phase power, the customer is going to run the two
electric motors, the one vibrating motor here which is one and a half horsepower,
and then the two horsepower conveyor motor are still both three-phase. So
we've actually installed a phase converter here so that he can run off a
single-phase 220 volt generator that you can buy at any hardware store. And you
put single-phase power into the phase converter and it generates three-phase
power to the two three-phase motors. This phase converter is rated for two to
five horsepower, and that's important because you have to turn on the conveyor
first to get enough power being used by the phase converter to then run the
vibrating motor, you can't run the vibrating motor first, you have to turn the
conveyor on. They turn the conveyor on first,
and then the vibrating motor... to vibrate the hopper.
So with the diesel engine and then the ability to run off single-phase power,
you can really run this unit it any gravel pit or operation anywhere in the
world. You do not need three-phase power to run this unit. And so here's the
results from us crushing our sample through the the jaw crusher module. This
again is a combination of granite countertops and quartz pieces. Also we
had some of those big quartz boulders in there to kind of mix it up a little bit
and essentially run two samples at once. But you can see that the crush is really
nice, it's almost all under one inch probably with quite a bit of fines in
there. And we have the jaw crusher set as fine as it'll go on this particular
machine, for the customer spec. So he's really happy with the product and we're
gonna get it shipped off to him here shortly. So I hope you guys enjoyed the
video. Thanks for watching, and if you have any questions on our 16 by
24 diesel powered jaw crusher module or any of our other equipment,
please don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email, all of which is in
the description below. So thanks again for watching and we'll see on the next one
