Rotary sieve for DIY soil.

Cool, simple design . That I would make some "hopper" to pour "material" from the front and covers for these gears, because "he doesn't sleep badly".

I thought about it too but due to material shortages I abandoned the idea. After a few tons of shifted soil I can safely say that it is better without a hopper. Maybe it would look nice but the shovel would have to be raised higher. Long-stemmed shank is enough.

Old engine and covers I can't get. Contrary to appearances, after 2-3 hours of work in hot weather has a temperature of about 50 ° C so overheating is not a threat.

Why such a large distance from the front of the frame to the drum?
You can see that because of this the axle bends when throwing soil.
A cover from above would be useful, because a lot of soil flies around.

The aforementioned funnel (chute) was supposed to be there. But as I wrote earlier: I would have to lift each chute with soil about 30cm higher and this is really a lot when loading manually. Secondly, if the drum was closer, charging would be difficult. The rim is 62cm after bringing it closer to the angle, the feed would decrease to half the diameter.

The axis is only a 3/4 inch water pipe. In this configuration, the whole bends but it works like a shock absorber and it seems to me that it is not bad at all.

It flutters in the drum. Outside, the spoil falls very close.

At the moment, I would only add a thin flat bar hoop on the discharge side. It happens that a stone bounces and falls out.

I have a question - did you try to screen the aggregate there? Would the construction stand to screen such material? I mean personal conviction - because I am thinking of such a design with the difference that you can screen unsorted aggregate.

@beretus Personally, aggregate was not sifted because I did not have such assumptions during the construction. I think that the sieve can handle it provided you make a funnel with a regulating slide. The point is to dispense a solid, not a large amount of aggregate at a time. Unless you would use a thicker wire mesh then you can throw the szyp directly on the mesh.

And as the mesh was attached to the wheel because for welding it is probably too thin

Ordinary wire for reinforcements.

A little expensive piece of sheet metal just around the fan will improve cooling. On the front you can put a piece of mesh even of plastic.

And what kind of colleague does anarchism write? This engine has a low speed of just 1,400 rpm. and then it's made of plastic that is really hard to break even by force, good old Polish material. They don't do that today. What is different now is a drama. I would be more afraid of a drum mesh pebble that could fall into a fan when tossed. Oh, this may end badly for staff and onlookers.

It took me a while but finally I assembled my drum screen. The assumptions were similar except that I did not want to have an axis throughout the entire length of the drum.
Short description:
The motor from the washing machine, old holey barrel with cut out holes, welded mesh, wheels from a baby stroller, scraper from an old bicycle, some V-belts, a reduction roller, some steel profiles partly bought (for legs).
The most important thing the author mentioned is the final drum revolutions. In the Master's movie I calculated some 55-56 rpm and I initially got 71 and it would be ok for the clinker but for screening composted soil it was too much. At the end I got 49-50 rev / min and that's ok.

I added a few more amenities - adjustable feet to set the drum angle and transport wheels. The cost of materials that I had to buy was about PLN 350, the rest was around the house.
I work like this:

What is a net? Where do you buy one?

In my humble opinion, there should be a hopper and, in addition, a rim - a bank a few centimetres high to prevent the backfilled soil from escaping from the drum. The hopper has the advantage that the soil goes right to the beginning of the screen and not further into the screen when shoveling. Do you have a patent for clogging the mesh with residues of undecomposed plant fibres?
