Making a vibrating table for sifting with our own hands
Greetings to all homemade ones on my channel. Today we will consider with you a home-made vibrating table for sifting earth, gravel, forage and whatever your heart desires.
I became interested in this topic, since the summer season has begun and I have planned the construction of an extension to the country house. There is screening for the foundation, but it is dirty and you need to sift it. I decided to look into the Internet and see how much such a vibrating table costs. I looked and was a little depressed))
In general, I decided to see what the people are inventing on this topic and found an interesting homemade product from one bourgeois, which I hasten to share with you.
This is what its sifting table looks like.
The essence of the work is simple. Dirty screenings are poured onto the grid from above, large stones roll in one direction, and clean screenings go to the other. The figure is shown with arrows. The upper table is installed at a slope, and a sheet of tin is installed at the bottom with an inclination to the other side.
And here is how much such devices cost on the Yandex Market. These prices make me cry out loud))
Let's take a quick look at how this miracle works and how it can be upgraded. The tabletop itself is made of a profile pipe, a wooden lathing is screwed around the perimeter. Rods are welded onto the profile pipe. The author of the product nails the mesh of the required caliber onto the wooden crate.
I would make this wooden insert removable. More precisely, I would make several of these wooden inserts with different mesh sizes.
And then the most interesting thing. The motor is probably a washing machine motor, although I could be wrong. On the motor shaft, the author puts a pendulum cut from a piece of thick sheet metal. The pendulum is secured with a bolt. When it rotates, this pendulum creates vibration.
The motor is mounted on a suspension and from above it is closed with an ordinary metal basin, which is fixed on self-tapping screws.
Next, the suspension with a motor is attached to the tabletop, as shown in the photo.
The frame of the vibrating table is connected to the tabletop by means of springs. I do not know what these springs are from, but they look like springs from shock absorbers from a motorcycle. It doesn't matter here, you can use any springs.
We fasten the tabletop to the frame with springs. The author put it all on welding, but I will probably make a bolted connection so that the table is collapsible.
That's what I said above, here the author attaches the mesh to a wooden base with a stapler.
That's all. We turn on the engine and the table starts to vibrate.
The motor is protected from gravel by a metal bowl, there will be too much dust and I think it will get into the engine.
That's the whole idea. I figured out here, I can make a frame and a table, I have an old panzer bed, still a Soviet one. I only need to buy springs, a net and a couple of meters of a profile pipe. I have a washing machine motor. In general, such a table will cost me a maximum of 5,000 rubles and a day of work.
I doubt the use of the engine from the washing machine, since it gives very high rpm, you probably need to buy a regulator of some kind to reduce the rpm. Overall, I liked the idea.
I am waiting for your comments, can you tell me something sensible or give a rational proposal for modernization. And also click like if you liked the material, I will be grateful to you))
