[QUOTE="Gaff, post: 1493980, member: 37285"] Hi Ian. I have a small shop but still in one sitting I can produce 4 bags of shavings. It didn't take long to figure out getting rid of the shavings was going to be a bl***y nightmare. At £50 a ton to dump at the local tip and only 1/4 of that needed to fill the van to the gunnels. Nobody who makes briquettes want to pick up small amounts like that they're only interested in RORO skips full. So did you hear the one about the bloke who paid two and a half grand to a bloke in Latvia on Ebay. It arrived broken, it was continuously tripping out the electrics and I had to become an electrical engineer to figure out what on earth was going on, found the hopper motor had a dead short in it. The bloke I bought it from on Ebay wasn't happy that I stopped his payment but in the end the Czechia manufactures were and still are being really helpful. They shipped out a new motor under warranty no questions asked and the part was changed and fixed captain Ebay got paid and I started processing 40 odd bags of sawdust. The press it's self has been working really well for the last 3 years. It's by far the hardest working machine in the workshop it's run for hundreds of hours. It's slow with the light fluffy shavings I feed it (it can take 8 hours to process 4 bags) but faster on sawdust. It's noisy but I can still hear the radio stood 15ft away. It broke after a lump of wood got in the hopper and wedged in so the hopper stirrer couldn't rotate but that was my fault and a quick weld on a nut sorted that out and it turned up with a pinprick hole in the rear weld of the ram but I just hang a tray under that with some sawdust in it. I've only changed the sawdust twice in all the time I've had it. The thing is what do you do with the shavings well it costs £50 to dump and pence to briquette. I now have 3 log burning stoves so I'm paying pence to heat my home, it's a no brainer . Profilis the manufactures have answered every email I've sent about the ram motor by the next morning, it's now fixed and running fine again. Hope this helps. G. [/QUOTE]
