Thanks for making this! There are no glass crushers within a 300mile radius from where I live, and it really sucks. For years I have wanted to bring glass recycling to the area, but the machines are so expensive! Today I was on a call with my mentor, and he talked about his tire recycling business, and how he had to get creative. As he talked, I had the thought that of with my welding/fabrication experience I could build one for a 1/3rd of the cost. Yours is very similar to what I had in mind to build, with just a few differences, that with yours will probably help keep the cost down to produce. Now that my father has all plasma cutting table and proper welder, I've sent this video to him asking if he may sponsor in helping me build one. In the end he get's all the blasting media he wants for free, so it's a win win right? lol Thanks again for showing what is possible with a little ingenuity.
I'm glad you have a dust collector now. I was concerned if your engine's air filter was filtering out all that dust, and was about to sugest submerging the end of the tube into a bucket of water, but a wet/dry vacuum with a wet towel filter will be nice for creating a negative pressure zone inside your glass crusher to prevent dust from comming out the top bottle feeder. Dunking the towel freqently would refresh its wetness and lift much of the glass dust off. I wonder if it's fine enough for making a clay.
I priced a machine to turn glass bottles into powder and they cheapest one was 6000 dollars. I decided hell I can get an old washing machines and turn it into the machine I need for pennies. Thank you for posting this video because I now see what direction I want to go into in the near future.
I've built quite a few things with washing machine motors. They're handy. Due to lower power, you'll have to keep it relatively light duty. I have a 7.5 hp 3 phase motor running this crusher now, and it still bogs down a little if I load it with enough cullet.
@@ArnoldsDesign thank you for the information. I think I insert one bottle at a time. I am also looking into designing a plastic shredder with those same qualifications.
Good idea. I did come up with a crude solution to control the dust a while back. I have a plywood bucket cover with two holes in it. One I connect to the crusher, and the other I connect to a cyclone and then a shop vac. It works well.
Thanks. The only way to control glass size is to vary the speed of the motor. I don't worry too much about that, though, because I run the glass through a screener after it is crushed. Any oversize cullet gets rejected and sent back to the crusher. This is my secondary crusher now. I built a primary crusher which turns bottles into coarse cullet much faster than this one.
Hi Arnold, Tom Copland from Scotland. I like your Machine build well Done!. I am looking to make something like that too. I am doing some Cabinet Blasting on Marine Engines and other parts, I am finding that the purchase of the glass media is expensive so I will watch your video a few time and try and see if I can get the glass down to a workable level, Any tips on that.
Glass is pretty easy to crush, but getting the right mesh size can be tricky. You have to run it through a screener to separate out the sizes you want. It doesn't need to be a gyratory screener like mine, but some sort of vibrating screen will work.
I wish I had a machine like that. Here in Marion county Florida they stop recycling glass (it was not profitable anymore for them) . I least I can use the grounded materials for different purposes. And Yes I have enough glass for storing food and so forth. But enough Wine, Beer and similar bottles to start a business. Eventually I'm gonna have to recycle them other than the original use. At least I can use the sand for other purposes.
What mesh size does the glass dust comes out? Can it be used for blasting? My blasting machine can accept 30 to 400 mesh size but I generally use 30 to 120 at most. I am considering getting or making the machine and sieving the glass dust instead of buying crushed glass which can be expensive
Some people use it for sand blasting (sanding) or you can use it for making new glass. You could use it for sand bags, or cement. Someone wondered if you could make clay with it, which sounds sick. When it’s fine enough it doesn’t cut anymore, so you could use it in the garden too. Maybe, /maybe/ sand boxes. Idk about that tho
I really like your design. What do you think about the idea of changing the angle of the plate on the exit. If you had a larger plate on the exit with an angle aiming 20 degrees closer to the center of the spindle to minimise the grading cycles. The heavy items can get thrown back the lighter items get caught in the air flow and down the exit shaft. You could also the output with an air blade to grade into different buckets.
I just saw your comment. Yes, those are good ideas. This was my first prototype crusher. I'd like to use an air blade to separate labels from glass. I have a gyratory screener that separates grades into differing buckets.
So what is the final product and what is it used for? Decorative pebbles? Run them to a special drum to round them off or use the glass powder for mulch or even planting?
This may be a little late but you could take a bucket lid and cut a whole into the top to fit your hose so that you can screw it on and lose less dust. Then you could get a piece of plastic sheet or maybe a slice from a 2 liter and cut a whole or slit in the top of the bucket and replace it with the plastic so you know when it's full.
Thanks for your thoughts. I actually used that idea I while back and it worked well. I didn't have the clear plastic sight glass you spoke of, so I had to keep checking the level. I have since made this crusher much lower to the ground, so that the discharge chute feeds directly into a bucket or conveyor. The chute now enters through the wall of an enclosed housing where a bucket or conveyor is placed. Attached to the housing wall is a little cyclone dust collector which gets much of the dust from inside the housing.
+Frank Martinez Sorry for the late reply. I just saw your post. I do have my preliminary drawings for the crusher when I designed it, but don't have any formal plans at this time. The screener was just something that I sort of roughly designed in my head, and then refined the design as I built it.
GLASS POWDER IS WIDELY USED IN TEXTILES TO GIVE THAT SHINING LOOK. IT HAS GREAT VALUE- BUT NEEDS TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHILE PULVERISING DUE TO HEALTH HAZARDS. GOOD QUALITY FULL BODY COVERAGE IS A MUST.
I always wondered how they made those suits shine. I didn't know full body coverage was required. That is good information to know. I use a respirator now, but why full body?
Would think it would be awesome to mix brown glass with concrete for concrete countertops the finer stuff would be interesting in how it would look replacing sand. Why not soak the bottles and get the paper off before you crush the bottles save a step of having to get the mess of paper out.
I know of a guy who uses coarse crushed glass for concrete counter tops. It looks pretty good, actually. Regarding soaking, I could try that, but then I have to empty the bottles dry them well before crushing. Even high humidity causes problems during screening. Paper removal is problematic in glass abrasive manufacturing. I know of one guy who runs the glass through a furnace to burn the paper off. A good idea, but uses a lot of energy. The technique I use doesn't get 100% of the paper, but very little makes it through.
I think I have a couple hundred in materials. I already had the engine. Right now I am working on finalizing a set of plans to sell so people can build these for themselves. I am making the plans to work with either a 5hp gas engine, or a 3hp electric motor.
At this time I don't. It's pretty complicated to build and set up properly. I would like to build a much simpler type first and then base plans from that. That is in the works.
can you take the crushed glass to a recycle center.I love your machine how much would it cost.I wont to by one from you as i dont have the skill to make my self
+Tim Julian Thanks. Yes, you can take the glass to be recycled. I don't plan to build another crusher like this one, but I have a new design that creates very little dust that I plan to market at some point. It crushes coarser but faster, and can process up to 1 gallon jugs. They will probably be around $2k, solidly built and have an enclosure below the crusher to hold buckets. Much more compact than this one.
+Arnold's Design Please contact me Mr. Arnold I very interested in your machines the glass pulverizer crushing 50lbs or more and the gyratory screener $2000 is a great price for the machines please contact me at jacquelinemmays@yahoo.com your machines are exactly what I need thanks
@@dosticonstructions7392 You can try these guys. mbmmllc.com/ They build hammer mills for all material including glass. I've contacted them before, and the units are heavy duty.
A fixed hammer mill variant. From the amount of glass dust or powder that you getting from the output, I think you over did it. Look into a regular hammer mill. Fixed or swinging hammer doesn't matter in this application. Fixed probably would be fine. Maybe slowing the speed of the hammer and putting a radius bottom to let it scoop as well as hammer. I'll be building a tiny, weeker version of a fixed hammer mill for use in bars. Really simple thing. Won't pulverize like yours but will break the bottles to cullet.
Robert Palmore I've considered getting a regular hammer mill, and might look into that option again. Will they they mill glass to a fine powder? Mine scoops ok, and I have slowed the hammers down about 50%. You should have seen it when I was running it 100%. I want to produce and collect that dust, but not blow it into the next county. It is a very fine abrasive that I use all the time. If you watch my gyratory screener video, you will see that I sift down to -60 mesh, and sometimes higher. The mistake I made is that I made the hammer faces too wide, so they have about 1/2" clearance from either side of the enclosure. Although this makes it scoop well, it also basically turns it into a centrifugal fan which blows the dust. I am planning to make another set much narrower. Like anything, after you build something, you stand back and ask yourself, "Ok, now why didn't I do it this way or that way?" Happens to me with everything I build. I have an idea for a bar room crusher too, that would be virtually dustless for making course cullet.
Yes, a hammer mill will work fine with glass. You make this into a hammer mill rather easy. Put a radius screen in the bottom that is the mesh you want. Make the radius about 1/4" from the hammer. Yes, a large gap from the sides isn't good but not a huge deal. If you make another 1/4" should be good. The output would be under the screen. The target piece and output you have could be covered and make a radius all the way around with the small gap. Nothing wrong with what you have, just needs some refinements. Hammers to fit, radius all around, screen and discharge under the screen and your in business. Solid design. Hammer will last a lifetime. The thicker you make your screen the greater the longevity. Like use a 1/4/" steel plate, drill as many holes the size glass you want and it will last almost as as long as the hammers. Best of luck.
Robert Palmore Since you posted this, I built another mill, which is a fixed hammer design. I am getting very little dust from it. Its main purpose is just to reduce the bottles into cullet, as you were saying. I'm running a grate on the bottom, too, to keep sizes under a half inch. I also fabricated a hopper for the one in this video, and run a cyclone dust collector on it now. I hope to be posting video of it's construction soon. It's going to be a long video, and will take me many hours to edit.
I know you like to do this for therapeutic reasons, I wanted to see if you happen to sell the glass you crush? I'm trying to get some green glass. I'd like the olive-green colored glass as well as the color of green the Cook's champagne is in.
I don't sell specific colors, because I don't get enough of any one color to have enough, plus I'd have to sort by color. That being said, I do sort out all blue glass, because it's rare use, for later crushing.
What the hell is terrra weight? Your system looks great!! Im sorry if your recycling glass for money forget it. Frit! Make frit!! Of various course!! Great machine!! Different blades could produces different grits of frit!! Hmm? I be quiet.

Did you not read my last reply to you? This is not one of those useless hardware store paper masks. I am wearing an N100 sealed respirator. I have since switched to the cartridge type. An N100 respirator filters out 99.97% of dust down to .3 microns. And the dust cloud in this video was only for a few seconds. I now use a cyclone dust collector when crushing. There is also no free silica in glass. Free silica would only be made if I was crushing sandstone. And why are you talking to me in third person?
home made or manufactured , if there is a visable plume, something is terribly wrong ...you dont see a plume from the crushers at walmart so ..common sense should be a sufficient that there is no argument here . it can be difficult to admit that what one has invested time and effort in is a mistake..its happened to me too many times

like an enclosed container or something. for safety
Good idea. I did come up with a crude solution to control the dust a while back. I have a plywood bucket cover with two holes in it. One I connect to the crusher, and the other I connect to a cyclone and then a shop vac. It works well.

Would it brake the glass finer if you speeded the machine up? Good video, thank you for uploading
Yes. I now have a vfd to an electric motor and vary the speed depending on size I need.
How does it compare to real sand? What is it like when wet?
So what is the final product and what is it used for? Decorative pebbles? Run them to a special drum to round them off or use the glass powder for mulch or even planting?

Why not discharge in to a water-filled bucket to keep the silica dust to a minimum?

What do you do with the dust once you are done?
I grade it in a screener, and then use it in abrasive blasting. The grades I don't use, I sell.
how much does it cost if i want to buy?
