You guys like orange crush?
No
I don’t no actually
Heck ya. The best pop around.
Another great vid aaron 👌 I'm currently running a Hitachi 3600 digger here in Australia, any chance you can get some footage of one on your channel 😎
Hell yeah with crushed ice💪only thing better is grape pop with crushed ice🤘
When people ask me what I do for a living I say exactly what Aaron said “ I make big rocks small rocks”😂
We run concrete through a impact crusher 4043 TR, into a 512 screener to make 304 and 1&2s. Sometimes we’ll run the 304 through our other screener to make 57s. This just motivated me to record and post some videos. Idk why but this is like the coolest shit ever to me lol
do it! make us some concrete crushing vids! send me a link and ill give ya some views
@@thewitness9305 will do! Thanks!!
Aaron - fun fact about rocks ... When Atlanta built the Mercedes Benz Stadium in 2017, it meant the demise of the GA Dome next door, which became the Home Depot Backyard park.
Every single bit of concrete in the Dome building was broken down, crushed on site, and utilized as the foundation (some 20' deep) for the Backyard, with drainage, dirt, and sod then laid atop.
The end result is a NFL stadium sized grass park used both for pregame tailgates, and recreation for the community next to the new stadium.
would have been nice to see more crusher shots since its the hole video
Same! I love quarry work
Fisher industries also came up with the idea how to build the boarder wall efficiently then implemented it. Amazing company.
thanks for doing a video on crushing man its the heart of the construction industry and nobody talks about it did that job for 10 years
Agreed! Everyone forgets about the crushers. Loud, fast paced when something goes wrong, and just satisfying when it runs well
Love seeing you talk to the workers. Their experience gives them a unique insight that can't be found elsewhere.
Your opener totally reminded me of Mike Rowe and a Dirty Jobs opening! You just forgot, "this is my job". Job well done!
thank you Mark!
I've hauled aggregate all over central KY
Building hyways houses and everything else. Sand, manufactured sand dust #10, #9, flat 8s, 78, 57, DGA PUG( wet DGA) or Road base. #2. Channel liner. Then I had a underground permit to drive underground in the mine to haul out rock too big for the convertor belt.
Dirt and dirt-like doings...are great. Always appreciated!
I have three lockout locks, since there are generally more than once location that needs to be locked out. In the Navy we didn't use lockouts locks, but had lockout tags that were signed by numerous people before hanging them and had to get permission from someone in charge (later in my Navy career I was that person in charge for electronics) to tag out and untag equipment.
You do have great docs on anything you present nice work
They have a water purfier tank to clean gravel screens shake the size rocks 3/4 1/2
Great Job Aaron! As always your irreverent explanations make sense. Keep up the great work!
I LOVE THIS!
The crusher 'bends the rocks over the bars'... got it.
Bringing it to my home town hell ya!
The company I work for is very similar to Fisher Industries, except we don’t manufacture the equipment. Underground limestone mine, to dredging sand and gravel, sand drying operations for our mortar supply company, to asphalt plants, concrete ready mix plants, block manufacturing, and precast walls and bridge girders, and road construction crews. All within 100 mile radius.
that's awesome
Nice job 👌
Really interesting stuff mate. I think here in Oz we're slowly getting to the efficiency scale of the US, but man.
The vertical integration of the company working on I17 is really impressive. They have some serious assets.
Bending rocks 😅, that’s a good one, never seen rocks bend in over 42 years of crushing rocks
i addicted to watch your videos regularly 😅
thank you!!!
This was perfectly timed cause a small crushing crew just moved in by our shop
I was in the drilling blasting front production step of things only crushers I really worked with was gyrating crushers. Did off season crushing and screening jobs here the man brand I always saw was Wirtgen I also ran a massive wirtgen 2200 surface ripping bedrock all day
Gyrating as in "cone," crusher? Think 🤔 u mean what my knowledge is a what I call a cone crusher.
@@kennethbyington516 yes if you look up gyratory crusher you will see a cone style crusher mantle
Ok then we're talking same kind. Cool. 👍 yeah it's neat stuff. I used cone? Impactor and jaw. I wouldn't mind getting back into it either.
That’s crazy I used to work for fisher about 6 months ago
Get in there change some them crushing shoes,💪😜I ran a plant for our company for a couple months crushing steel slag to put into asphalt and bub I’m telling ya you gotta pay attention cause it’ll get western real quick , your killin it with your content brother👊good job explaining everything
thank you Burt!!
@@AaronWitt we all should be thanking you boys for doing an excellent job shining light on the excavation world, most people think we just sit on our ass all day in the A/C or heat and it’s all puppy dogs n rainbows!! We actually had a guy die Monday from another company in the same town, busted sewer main bout 7 foot deep they didn’t put a ditch box in, and he paid the price with his life, it’s dangerous and it’s hard work operator or laborer, maybe a ditch safety vlog would be a good future topic, thanks again man keep up the good work
Awesome video Aaron making big rocks into little rocks
Best frikken' job ever!! 35 yrs
I wonder if the river bed has Gold they should have a couple sluice runs 👍👊
Some places do.. it's not normally alot
I often wonder about that, when we're working around an old creek.
Came here to say the same thing. Makes me wonder just how much runs through 900,000 tons of material. Even the lowest percentage, would be a good chunk.
Dig out the mountains make gravel
Definitely not missing that thumbnail haha
Wirtgen Group baby!!!
There's no kleeman there
@@nathanschneider8586 commented before watching when ever I was around crushers, screening plants and convoyers was always alot of white with the orange strips
Thank you! How many KW or KVA are each genset? :)
I see there dumping trucks into a dozer trap rather than using a feed bin and loader to feed the jaw....very smart!
You’re just down the road from me! Another awesome video.
Have you done anything with Freeport McMoRan in Morenci? I worked there for about 5 years.
No... you'd think it's a top secret military base when it comes to us visiting. Haven't found a good way in yet
@@AaronWitt Dang. They can be pretty tight on security from what I remember and don’t do a whole lot of publicity… It would be a cool visit, but their loss.
You in Phoenix often? I work for Reliable Plant Maintenance. We maintain, build, demo and revamp all these plants. Fisher, Vulcan, Cemex, Cal Portland...etc. Hot plants, batch plants and sand & gravel. If you ever wanna check out some really slick work trucks and what it takes to be a contractor on this stuff come check us out
If you want to see a cool quarry go to McLean Quarry on Mt Cheam about 85 miles east of Vancouver B.C on the T.C.H. (trans Canada highway #1)
Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) if you don’t lock out, you could get tagged out playing the lotto “LOTO” with your life 😂
More lanes less traffic? If you build it... Be great to see Fish Sand and Gravel making 1.5" ballast stones to put down a high speed rail line along this I-17, come on!
No rail going up this pass as it's a 2000 ft or so climb in 8 miles.
Learned something new today! Very neat!
love it!!
Videos of this caliber should be offered in STEM Classes in School.
If the kids can see the 'end game', getting started in the game is that much easier.
The range of STEM involved in such a 'cradle to grave' operation is deceptively vast....
Yaaaya
I have a BS in construction management. I only worked in the field for 18 months fresh out of college in 2007 before the depression of 2008. Now I work in another field but this video reminded me of my soils lab.
There's gold in that wash. Is there any kind of trap on their plant to collect it? If not there should be.
What is cobble? Is that like a type of rock?
So the trucks dump right next to the conveyor, but what feeds the conveyor?
They’ve built a ramp and so the dump truck is dumping straight onto the belt that’s what he meant they canceled out the need for another loader
Where is the fearless flame flacker at he must be Dronin in Kazakhstan, it was a Rockin Vid👍👍👍👍🥌🥌🥌🥌🥌
I like you your job
Another Damm good video brother 💪✌️
thanks for watching!
I’d recommend you to check out grinding mill relines. #Kaltech
Thats were i blew sand of electricity box in the ground got static electricity flew back 20 ft
Hey Aaron did you visit Bauma?
Jaw beginning process of system
You should check out our operation sometime your in pennsylvania we process high calcium limestone for them to burn in a power plant
Do you by any chance work for Glasgow? I worked at their McCoy quarry many moons ago.
No Glenn O Hawbaker Inc
550 ya the smart way of doing it no need to move it 3 times when you can move it twice and save fuel
Reno Nevada
I wasa formen for plant
I chortled when Aaron said it was easy to dig. I'd invite you to come watch me dig a hole for a bush with a shovel in my front yard. The only thing that touches Arizona dirt is a digging bar.
I'd rather have a mobile jaw crusher and a mobile cone crusher at the 349 and load directly into an A60 with a wheel loader. We do that alot in Sweden and we produce macadam at the same time as like a 1/2" material. That's how we Swedes do it at least🤪
Walter reed extradition from there
That was a great video 5 star
thank you!!
As yes the old adding more lanes to fix traffic 🤦♂️
Which is literally how you fix traffic issues, genius.
900.000 tons is about half a million m3... thats not too much...
they are measuring quantities in million m3 in mining and road construction...
we scraped our jaw crusher went to impactor better controll of product
Materials
Great video and awesome visuals.
Slightly off-putting you didn't give that guy the time of day though ... at least his title and name?
5 days 12 hrs is the perfect schedule....well 4, 10s is but no overtime....my bro did a job 7days 12hrs week for 6 mo straight...he made like 3 years of money jn that 6 months...he bought allot of shit....said he wouldn't do it again tho
Silicocis from crushing
So know that I know how to make big rocks into small rocks how do I make smaller rocks into smallest rocks?
Aaron not knowing about lock out tag out is hilarious
i need work weth you ...
I,am live in saudi arepia...
Plaes.
8:42
Ben stiller do it
Loto
COOL 👌😎 Machines... Cool channel...👌😎
A large conical stockpile segregated the aggregate..not good. Roading requires cubical shape aggregate not round or you can't compact it therefore maiking big rocks into small ones is what is done in a mine....making construction aggregates is as complex as the end use
900kt is crazy
So…. Is a broken up large rock a small rock?
What president are you?
Ashalt concrete
مرحبا هل توجد وظيفة
Visit Tony's plant from gold rush 🇿🇦
It’s not rocks. Is called aggregates.
ok Rob
Information density is way too low.
It would have been nice to show the rock crushing more and you talking less
no the question is can u make small rocks into big rocks not lets make big rocks into small rocks
Very shallow information on "turning boulders to dust"
Never touch one that is not yours
Interstate, blah, blah, blah..... What is the equipment? Lock out tag out, yeah? what about the rock going crunch behind you. Lockpick lawyer has the locks. Okay Cobble learned new term. Geology, really? What about the HEAVY EQUIPMENT? Leaving with a case of blue balls,
You would never find near that that’s Cilicia dust not good for you at all can make your lungs fell like concrete not good for the environment either should have water spraying all over to keep dust down but good try.
Ok Karen
I’m a Karen you just said that to a big Kentucky boy now how big a boy are you because I will take you to the ground I had family members die from that crap being right by there house you know were they are now in the ground, and that Machine is still killing people so next time think of other ass hole.
@Zachary Higgs plenty of people around the country work in gravel pits and rock crushing operations every day and they seem to be doing just fine
@@tomlorenzen4062 tell them to give me a call when they are 70, I will leave my phone on vibrate but I will never get any calls because nun of them will live past 70 around that crap my great uncle was a coal miner for 22 years he died at 57 years young and he actually fought for better coal mining conditions for over 6 years in Frankfort Kentucky they didn’t change anything until 1999 but you know what your talking about right?
Guy yaps too much….need more video of the working action
All you ever do is TALK, we want to see the machine that make road fill not you TALKING ALL THE TIME
You did not tell what the machinery do.Just bla bla bla.
thanks for watching Frank! Glad you enjoyed it
@@AaronWitt enjoyed the video but definitely would of been cool to see the breakdown of the equipment. You went into a little detail with the feeder and jaw but there is lots after those components
fisher sand and gravel suck the big one
Build a train track, why its always the stupid way.
