AI Thread Summary
To calculate the appropriate hydraulic motor for a shredder machine with a 2-1/2 inch diameter shaft and 15 rotating disks, it's crucial to consider the material being shredded, which in this case is soil and clay with a density of approximately 80 lb/ft³. The operation requires processing about 40 cubic yards per hour, which significantly impacts power consumption. Additional details, such as the existing machine's specifications and the specifics of the No. 80 drive chain and sprocket configuration, are necessary for accurate calculations. Understanding the torque requirements and the hydraulic system's capabilities will also be essential in determining the right motor size. Gathering all relevant operational parameters will lead to a more precise motor selection.

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 yds/hr. we are also using a No. 80 drive chain on 12 to 19 tooth sprocket too.


Any ideas welcome.

Thank you

Well the soil and clay shredding operation is the bit which is going to consume the power, so you need more details around this aspect.

Is this an existing machine?
 
Not existing yet.

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

what other info?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
