Cut CEB Metal

Frame

• Cut 10 pieces of 7/16"x6" heavy u-channel (this link should be filled with (1) a technical drawing from a library of any professional CAD package); (2) a real picture of the material, (3) a real picture or video of someone cutting it (all of: abrasive, cold cut, band, plasma, or oxy torch)

• 6 inch heavy (7/16") u-channel - ( 20 ft )

Step 1. Torch or cold-cut channel to size

Cut the following pieces out of the 6 inch heavy (7/16") u-channel steel:

• A - 2 pieces, 44"
• B - 2 pieces, 29"
• C - 4 pieces, 21"
• D - 2 pieces, 9"

Cylinder and Mounts

• 3”x3”x1/2” (8) (cylinder mounts for both cylinders)
• 1” shaft, 6” long (main cylinder mount)
• 5 X 8 3000PSI Welded Cross-Tube Hydraulic Cylinder Buy

Step 2: Punch holes

Step 2

• A - 1" from the tip of the edge, in the edges of 41 1/2" upright pieces at the following locations: 1", 5", 36.5", 40.5"(more to follow)
• B - Four holes in each of the 28 3/4" pieces such that they are 19.4" apart on the long axis and 4"(?not sure) apart on the short axis. They should form a centred rectangle parallel to each of the 26" pieces.
• C - Four holes in each of the 20 3/4" pieces such that they are 19.4" apart on the long axis and 4"(?not sure) apart on the short axis. They should form a centered rectangle parallel to each of the 18" pieces.
• D -
• E -

Step 3: Bolt pieces together

• [2] 44" long - frame sides - see Note on CEB Frame Height

• [4] 6' long - arms
• [4] 4' long - legs
• [4] 6" long - 2.5"x3/16" square tubing - feet tubes
• [4] 10"x10"x1/4" flats - feet

• [2] 1/4"x2" angle, 21" long - hopper closure
• [2] 1/4"x2" angle - 7" long - hopper closure tab for cylinder alignment

Hopper

• Plasma cut sheet metal
• Punch 3/4" holes in all 28 hinges, in center of rounded part
• Punch holes in hopper sheet metal (all the blue holes, 3/4")

• Bolt all hinges to sheet metal at the red locations marked "1" with 3/4" bolts
• Weld bottom hinges of hopper sheet 1 to hopper mount plate
• Weld top hinges of hopper sheet 1 to grate
• Install hopper supports to hold hopper sheet 1, and bolt with the 2 bolts (1/2")
• Weld hinges to hopper supports for sheet 2
• Weld hinges at base of sheets 2, 3, 4
• Weld hinges between sheets 3&1, 4&1, and between 2&3, and 2&4
• At this point, the entire hopper is erected. It remains to weld the remaining hinges to the grate.
• Upon completing these steps, the 3/4" bolts can be replaced with 1/2" bolts for successive deconstruction and reconstruction of the hopper.

hopper interface plate

• [2] 3/4" pipe, 1" long - cylinder aligner
• [2] u-channel, 3" - cylinder align
