You guys like orange crush?

When people ask me what I do for a living I say exactly what Aaron said “ I make big rocks small rocks”😂

We run concrete through a impact crusher 4043 TR, into a 512 screener to make 304 and 1&2s. Sometimes we’ll run the 304 through our other screener to make 57s. This just motivated me to record and post some videos. Idk why but this is like the coolest shit ever to me lol

Aaron - fun fact about rocks ... When Atlanta built the Mercedes Benz Stadium in 2017, it meant the demise of the GA Dome next door, which became the Home Depot Backyard park. Every single bit of concrete in the Dome building was broken down, crushed on site, and utilized as the foundation (some 20' deep) for the Backyard, with drainage, dirt, and sod then laid atop. The end result is a NFL stadium sized grass park used both for pregame tailgates, and recreation for the community next to the new stadium.

Fisher industries also came up with the idea how to build the boarder wall efficiently then implemented it. Amazing company.
-
thanks for doing a video on crushing man its the heart of the construction industry and nobody talks about it did that job for 10 years
-
would have been nice to see more crusher shots since its the hole video
-
Love seeing you talk to the workers. Their experience gives them a unique insight that can't be found elsewhere.

I've hauled aggregate all over central KY Building hyways houses and everything else. Sand, manufactured sand dust #10, #9, flat 8s, 78, 57, DGA PUG( wet DGA) or Road base. #2. Channel liner. Then I had a underground permit to drive underground in the mine to haul out rock too big for the convertor belt.

Your opener totally reminded me of Mike Rowe and a Dirty Jobs opening! You just forgot, "this is my job". Job well done!
-
Dirt and dirt-like doings...are great. Always appreciated!
-
I have three lockout locks, since there are generally more than once location that needs to be locked out. In the Navy we didn't use lockouts locks, but had lockout tags that were signed by numerous people before hanging them and had to get permission from someone in charge (later in my Navy career I was that person in charge for electronics) to tag out and untag equipment.

The company I work for is very similar to Fisher Industries, except we don’t manufacture the equipment. Underground limestone mine, to dredging sand and gravel, sand drying operations for our mortar supply company, to asphalt plants, concrete ready mix plants, block manufacturing, and precast walls and bridge girders, and road construction crews. All within 100 mile radius.

They have a water purfier tank to clean gravel screens shake the size rocks 3/4 1/2
-
The crusher 'bends the rocks over the bars'... got it.
-
i addicted to watch your videos regularly 😅
-
Bending rocks 😅, that’s a good one, never seen rocks bend in over 42 years of crushing rocks
-
This was perfectly timed cause a small crushing crew just moved in by our shop
