The Sawzall Screener Sifter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The weekly addition of food into each larvae bin means the necessity to reduce the amount of material they leave behind: some of it is frass, some of it is just material they don't eat (i.e. eggshell shards)
The concept is very simple. The sawzall is turned on, the sled slides back and forth rapidly, fine material falls through the window screen while coarse material falls through the larger screen.
Bonus: cameo appearance of a Compost Kitten named Noodle as she steals the show throughout the filming.
I wanted to build the big wood sander shaker one, off that guys video. With Springs and incline (for worm castings). Thanks for sharing!
Looks efficient. The kitten ’helping’ is cute !
It really has sped up the process. Prior to the new sifter, it seemed like by the time I had hand-sifted all the bins, it was time to do it all over again.
Thank you for showing this!!
I guess the next upgrade would be a double-sized sifter, then it would only take 5 minutes for 2 buckets. Or even, if the first screen was long enough to make sure 99% of the small stuff was sifted out, then you could remove the bar between screens, then you wouldn't have to manually move stuff from one screen to the other.
Another option would be use a piece of wood as the barrier and just lift it once the smalls have fallen through? I seen captain Matt's worm farm doing that with his store bought machine
A speed controller plugged into your Sawzall will allow you to adjust the speed and secure the trigger to stay on. Great video and setup! I'd come help if you were in Oregon.
kitten is adorable!
Love your hair. Mine is Purple too!
You can get a concrete vibrator for a good price off amazon or the local hardware store. They’re loud though. You can permanently screw it to your screen frame instead of zip ties.
Now I wish I kept my carter disc grain cleaner when we moved.
I thought about this 2 days ago..... how crazy
عمل رائع .. انت محظوظة بوالديك ، استمر بالتوفيق .
Hello - What`s your process to dry the frass (fine fluffy stuff)? And how long does it take? Thanks
I wish you'd shown us the bucket of lavae.
That's what you're in business for, right?
You're running a very interesting operation.
Do you have a website "with numbers"? E.g. how many pounds of food beget how many pounds of larvae, frass?
Great work.
Good stuff, but need a lapel mic.
Hey awesome stuff btw. I was wondering how do you dry oit the bsfl?
@@samuelguiden3321 I use microwaves
This setup is what I been looking for! How do I build this?
Unfortunately, we don't have any drawn up plans since it came together while researching other sifter-screener rigs
HI - What's your process to dry the fine fluffy stuff (frass)? And how long does it take? thanks
It sits in big caged barrels lined with a breathable material. Depending on weather, 3-6 months
Have you considered an AC variable speed controller?
The saw is already "dialed in" with the metal clamp and once that's set, it's rarely touched. We could try it in the 2.0 version
Dads are the best. I know I’m one lol😂
Hi, Is that jackhammer or drilling machine? Nice idea, but seems bit louder
It is a reciprocating saw from Harbor Freight. I've had to swap out a new one since this video was posted, since I run it quite a bit. Here's a link to the one currently in the screener: www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/power-saws/reciprocating-saws/75-amp-variable-speed-reciprocating-saw-69067.html
Please use mike so we can hear you better.
Noted! I'm better with flies than technology.
Sweet setup!👍
Is your hair purple or is it just me?
What size screens are you using?
The first screen is your basic window screen, vinyl-coated for durability. The second screen is quarter inch construction mesh that's doubled up. I've added another passive screening step that's just a big screen over a tub to get the biggest clumps out. That step makes for overall less material to be moved on the mechanical sifter -- less overall weight for me to move around as well
