ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled rock crushing machine prepared according to the present invention utilizes the drive unit to a conventional excavator of the type normally found in the construction industry. For simplified repairs or replacement of its components, each of the components on the self-propelled rock crushing machine are removably secured to its vehicular frame. The components include a hopper that stores material to be crushed, an apron feeder that collects material from the hopper and carries the material toward the crushing device, a grizzly separator that separates undersize material from the larger material to be crushed, a crushing device, and a discharge conveyor that receives crushed material and discharges the same from its outer end. A water tank and pump also are provided for preparing properly moisturized crushed material which is suited for backfill operations. Because the discharge conveyor is placed immediately below the vehicular frame, the rock crushing machine of the present invention has a ground clearance of approximately seventeen inches, which enables it to crush while moving over rugged construction terrain. Hydraulic motors are provided for operation of each of the components, and the water pump also is hydraulically operated. Each motor and the pump are connected to the hydraulic system of the drive unit, and controls are provided for operation of the same. The separate controls offer variable speed control for each component to provide versatile operation under various conditions.
