I have a knot on my forehead from walking back and forth under the last conveyor

As i said before, if a crusher isnt broken its going to break. Its just the sheer amount of violence in one of these machines

“If it’s not one thing it’s another. Always something”. gives me comfort that I’m not the only one.

The contrast between before and after crushing is impressive.

Crushing reclaimed concrete with assorted debris like you are doing is basically a lesson in punishing yourself for waking up in morning.

Yep, a crusher is constant maintenance especially with this kind of contaminated material! Wishing you continued good luck.

Why do I dunk my head when he goes under the crusher😂

The title of this one is very appropriate. Seems crushing takes a lot of attention to keep it running smooth. Kudos to you for taking it on solo and being productive with it, usually always helps to have a second or third set of hands around to keep things going.

Looks like you are getting a fair amount of metal as well as concrete. I can see where running that would be a two or three person job. Checking the recirculating belt, the magnet, the stacker and loading the machine.

For some reason watching your videos is very relaxing

Hell Yeah!!!! That’s the most excited I’ve ever heard Chris get.

You should do an 8 hour fast timelapse of the new pile of base growing from scratch to full. That would be a super cool timelapse.

Chris you need to check the blow bars every day and reset them. They will wear a lot during a shift and you will start getting more on the recirc belt. Your flashing is wore on your recirc belt tail pulley . You should check the distance manually don’t trust the computer settings it will always show what you ask for but if the blow bars are wore and the curtain is wore you have to lie to the computer and set the blow bars lower than what the computer says. Also blow bars will wear a lot more on the side that the recirc belt is on.

Good job Chris! You're Crushing It! :)

Good little bit of behind scenes action on this job!! Sounds like it’s par for the course on this material!!

This is exciting, something new. Always good to have a different job now and then to keep thinks interesting.

Job well done 👍🏻

thanks Chris for showing us all you can. you need many eyes watching that thing constantly.

I admire your patience!!

You are one man show for sure. You're not going to let all that crap get you down. Good stuff. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
