Slick rig! Now if only we could teach golfers to fill in their own divots, you'd have it made! ;-)

Hi, very impressive, we are looking for a machine like this, we are based in Dublin, could you manufacture one for us?
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,Thanks for a nice comment. I do not manufacture these for
sale. There is no market for them. This
project was after-work something to do thing.
I’m proud to say the screener still working after screening around 70 +
yards of dirt. If you can find a mechanically
inclined welder-man, and supply him with materials for the screener, you can
build this thing for less than $2000.

Question for ya, what did you use for the belt material? I want to build a similar project.

[@woodswestminster5339]

Just search ebay for cheapest 12” conveyor belt. I replaced the original belt in the video with similar to this “Black Ribbed 12"Wide 41Ft Long 0.125" Thick Conveyor Belt”. Belt in this video was made of rubber and kept stretching. Believe it or not, I used superglue to connect the ends instead of Clipper Lacing.

[@jamesgraham2178]

very nice, what size motor did you use an what speed is the belt running at.

[@woodswestminster5339]

Thank you James. Motor is 6.5 hp from harbor freight tools. Screen speed is about 600 rpm and conveyor - about 250 rpm.

Woods Westminster EDIT: Engine 3820RPM, screen 829RPM, conveyor 275RPM
