He is half loading the bucket to make the crusher run in smooth and give the fines a chance to get through the griddle he is actually bang on just giving it enough time to clear then next bucket goes in.
Who thought taking an expensive piece of equipment like a 982 & charging the hopper of the first crusher from the end was a good idea, should be fired. Is the 982 a substitute for a smaller machine like a 950 that's in the shop for repairs? If not, anyone thinking the purchase of a 982 & underutilizing it like shown in the video; unless the company is planning an expansion, should also be fired.
@@evjone how would you know a jaw crusher is in good condition when looking to buy one, I could get my hands on an old Parker 30-18 but don't know much about them? I've seen it crush a few bricks and blocks but at suspiciously low rpm
@@atm451 The only way is to use your eyes and ears, run it. There are only one thing to worry about on old crushers,: The bearings, look for grease, look for damage, feel for heat while running, and most of all listen to it run. You can tell right away if this is going to be a 10K dollar repair coming up. Some old crushers has less value then a set of new main shaft bearings.
@@evjone I would have to travel a bit to see it in person. I uploaded 3 videos on my RU-vid channel of you would like to give me your opinion. I know there not great video , it's all I have to go on for now .. thanks 👍
