(OP)


Looking for ideas on a thrust bearing for a shredder machine w/ a 2-1/2 dia shaft. Shaft length is 30" w/ 15 mounted rotating chewing disks. We are shredding soils and clay at about 40 yds/hr. Would like a common HD bearing w/ low profile. About No. 80 drive chain on sprocket too.

Any ideas welcome.

Thank you

 

RE: shredder

(OP)
ok, lets try this.

Would like to know how to calculate which hydraulic motor to turn a 2-1/2 dia shaft at a length of 30",with 15 mounted rotating chewing disks for a shredder machine. We are shredding soils and clay at about 40 yd3/hr. we are also using a No. 80 drive chain on 12 to 19 tooth sprocket too.

Soils are about 80lb/ft3 density and loading is, well 40 yd3/hr

Any ideas welcome.

Thank you  

RE: shredder

What's wrong with the machine you're using now?
