Rock Trommel

Oops sorry this is a power trac thread and you're afraid of tractor owners. Should I be afraid now? Are y'all going to hunt me down and tar and feather me?

They do make a cement mixer, but I think it would require a little cutting.

And it would work for the trommel project, too.

OK here is an image of my screen. The size of the screen is actually 8' x 8', I used two 4' x 8' pieces of expanded metal side by side. It is elevated about 12" to allow material to build up as it is separated.

This is not going to be as efficient in collecting all of the fines as the trommel, but for the price and simplicity, I can screen the rocks several times to improve separation efficiency.

The structure below the horizontal bar behind the screen allows me to pick up the entire assembly with the FEL and move it around.

I reduced the pixel count of the image for faster loading. Zoom in to see the details of the expanded metal.
