Working on getting a set up like this for my 3 haul off yards piles have just been building tired of buying gravel for base. Right now I just rent one for a month and just crush what I can to get by. But start about the start up cost unless I go lease for new machines or buy older machines to get by.
Primary crusher for sure a jaw impacter gets real expensive for anything over 1 ft and above don’t care what bars and curtain wear pieces you buy comes down to mass and energy but 1 and smaller a impact crusher will out eat a jaw hands down and make alot of smaller agg on first pass
Where I dump concrete at they have a semi trailer with cement hammers busted up big chunks spits it out different sizes they can do a hundred thousand yards in no time that machine you looking at is not Tough Enough
Makes it look so easy...must be massive crushing power...and takes big chunks. Wonder if based on cost of such a beast and operating costs make process an economical way of getting rid or concrete chunks and converting them into usable material? Charlie is no slouch!
Dana a lot of people buy crushed concrete in place of limestone. It's a lot cheaper for a product that gets the job done but just doesn't have the curb appeal. So for construction access drive or a commercial application he can for sure sell it all day long and do well. Plus the homeowners that want to save a buck will buy it too. A lot of times companies like Mr Charlie's are paid to get rid of it so crushing it and selling it is a bonus!
@@danarelyea9152 raw stone from the quarry has to go through a crusher just like this, so costs are about the same between crushing virgin rock or making recycled gravel. The sale price for recycled gravel is lower than for virgin gravel, but it's enough to cover the costs of the crushing generally, plus it disposes of the concrete which saves whatever that would have cost. Some customers or types of work require virgin gravel (for appearance on a nice driveway, or base layers under a freeway) , but a lot are able to use recycled crushed concrete just fine.
nice little beer fund with the rebar pile. I took in about 120lbs of junk from my yard yesterday and got 7$ there plenty there for beer for the whole crew
I live up in NY got a 30 acre place a year and a half ago .. lots of rock in the one field and around the hay field some of the rock as big as a small car engine .. have not checked the rock yet too see if sand stone don't think it is ,, that machine would save me lots of money in buying stone for the driveways ,, would have to see how much a machine cost to do the job vrs buying the stone ?? great video ,,
