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 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
