need ideas for feeding a trommel sifter
Hi,
Here's a motorized compost trommel sifter I built: http://steveandlizthompson.shutterfly.com/ It works great, but after loading two yards through it with a shovel, I looked at my tractor with a FEL, and thought that there must be an easier way! But I'm stuck. How to create a system that is loaded by the FEL to feed the sifter? Conveyor belt, corkscrew in a trough, modified small grain silo? I'm a hobby welder with no industrial experience, and I don't know where to look for ideas. I've got a pvc pipe, 6 feet long, 18 inches in diameter, 1/2 inch walls, that I could rip to create a trough. I even thought of modifying a post hole auger, but it's not long enough. Any ideas feasible for a DIYer would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve |

Thanks, Steve I would use the front end loader to get the material up high and into a bin. Then an auger in the bottom of the bin to push the material out of the bin and into a chute that empties into the trommel. If the bin has three sloping sides, the auger would not have to be very long. Alternate would be air driven ram with the piston pvc pipe for the cylinder. If I remember correctly, there was something about making augers in sci.engr.joining.welding a good while back. Ernie was probably the one who posted how to make them. Or part of a grain auger. Dan |

Thanks, Steve Trommel sifters we used for gold mining had a feeder end and an output end. On the feeder end was a cone shaped feed, then a 90 done with several bends that fed into the center of one end. The trommel was made to tilt so that when the trommel was filled with oversize, it was tilted, and the oversize material came out the other end. It operated at a slight tilt so as to take materials from the feeder end to the discharge end. Most times, at the right angle, it was almost automatic, as it would feed on one end, and when full enough, the rocks would tumble out the other end, fines going through the mesh. HTH Steve |

Dan huh! if i may be so bold as to offer my two cents. i think if it were me i'd build a 5 foot wide "U" shaped trough on the infeed side, dump the material into the trough with the loader and push it in bit by bit with a hoe (or some other custom made implement). probably with lip of the trough protruding two or three inches inside the trommel, probably with a close fit so the material won't dribble out between the trough and the drum. maybe with a (short, 6 inches?) sheet metal extension on the infeed side of the trommel drum? as you're suggesting the lifting and loading of the material is probably the hard part. i'd imagine simply only just removing the lifting and loading by use of the front end loader would substantially reduce the effort. oh, and of course put the trough on an incline so the material more or less kinda wants to go into the trommel anyhow. i'd think it would be very difficult to completely automate the feed on such a small scale. it would seem to me it would need some sort of feedback mechanism, too much material, too little material, etc. but then i'm not a trommel designer/builder. btw, very nice impressive trommel. good luck with it in any event. b.w. |

To start, I'd make a bin large enough to hit with your front-end loader, with a trough that extends into the end of the trommel. Dump compost into the bin and push it through the trough by hand -- you won't be lifting it, so it won't be nearly as much work as shoveling. When you get tired of that, someone suggested an auger, which is probably an excellent second step. -- www.wescottdesign.com |

When you get tired of that, someone suggested an auger, which is probably an excellent second step. O.P. here Building a trough to hand push the compost would be too easy. This is my first motorized project, and I'm on a motorized roll right now! In all the homebuilt sifters I've seen pictures of, everybody built the rectangular frame, and tilted the trommel inside the frame. It was pretty easy to set the trommel in square and then tilt the frame. I didn't know what slope to use, so I made it adjustable, 0 to 6 inches. If I were to make another, it would be fixed at 2 inches. It killed me to have to buy new bicycle rims. I looked for weeks and just couldn't find any 26" wheels. When I started looking online for rims, I learned that since the late 80's, most rims are alloys. I found steel rims, with spokes and hubs for $15 each, plus shipping. I've been researching augers, primarily grain type, trying to get some ideas. Too expensive to buy for this project, but I'll be watching Craigs list. Tthere's an organic compost and vermiculture farm not too far away. I stopped to look at their setup. They have two commercial 15 foot trommels supported 7 feet off the ground, so their FEL can pick up the sifted material. To feed it, they built a 10 foot square platform on the input side. The FEL puts a couple loads on the platform, and then they SHOVEL IT IN BY HAND! Hundreds and hundreds of yards per year! And I don't want to shovel 10-12 yards per year; I think I'm getting lazy in my old age! |

You could build a device called a Texas Feeder. It consists of a hopper of
a size appropriate for your loader. At the bottom is a flat plate that slides toward the trommel and then away. It is driven by a motor driving a crank with a rod hooked to the end of the flat plate away from the trommel. As the plate moves toward the trommel it carries the material out of an opening in the end of the hopper toward the trommel. At the same time the material in the hopper fills the space on the end of the plate away from the trommel. As the plate moves away from the trommel, the material cannot be drawn back into the hopper because of the weight of the material in the hopper so it falls off the end of the hopper into the trommel. The feed rate can be controlled by the size of the opening in the hopper, possibly by a sliding gate, or by the speed of the motor. "Leon Fisk" wrote in message ...

Oy, vay! http://steveandlizthompson.shutterfly.com/ As for painting the sifter, I figured it would spend most of it's time in the storage shed, why bother. Apparently, I better reconsider! Rightio! Protective plastic sleeves, maybe. Bogus gate my ass! I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a design. I finally found the right design, watching a video of U.S. soldiers doing a house to house search in Baghdad; there was a railing outside a house that struck my fancy. Consider that my contribution to international diplomacy; with that, I'm outta here before Gummer shows up. |
