I think this is the right sub-forum for this bit if not it can be moved.
I want to make a motorised sieve/vibrator for sieving garden soil. I have a mulcher that has seen better days and I could nick the 1 (?) hp induction motor from that.
The idea that springs to mind is to attach an eccentric disc to the shaft of the motor, which would be inserted into a metal ring (perhaps a bearing race) set in the side of a sieve tray. The tray would have to be mounted on springs to account for the motion.
It would be best if the tray was easily removed for removing the sieved out stones/roots etc. Perhaps four clips to hold it in position.
For the tray itself it would be best if it were metal sided for strength, but maybe I can get away with timber with some decent sized screw holding it together. The sieve would be 10-15mm mesh.
What does the brains trust think please?
