Ore Processor - Part TWO

 

The basic layout of the Ore processor is this:

1. The stones come down from the cliff side onto a conveyor belt on the back of the module.  This conveyor belt runs right to left.
2. Goes through the crushing facility.
3. Then out of sight, the stones are processed underneath into small energy packets.
4. These energy packets then show up on another conveyor belt at the front of the module, that also runs right to left.
5. At this point they would be removed and ferried over to the space port for shipment.

 The conveyor in the back is a complete conveyor part, part number 92715c01 as shown here.

This provided the best choice for he stone movement and here is a video of what I was trying to do.

 

 

Here is the initial placement of the controller.

 

This shows the motor placement and the second conveyor.   The conveyor is built using the Technic link tread, part number 3873.  The back conveyor is using a standard M motor with a worm gear box to convert the direction 90 degrees to the large gear.  Then a chain will drive a small gear and then the conveyor.  As the video shows it runs at about the right speed. The front conveyor is using one of the small motors I found and then gear reduction section to slow it down.  I had to use the small tread links because there was just no room for the larger ones.  It all fits, but there is not much room left over.
