Dismantling machine

The design of this home appliance quite complicated. If you carefully remove the components, they can be used to create new mechanisms and useful things in the household. What kind of spare parts can be useful?

1. The heart of the washing machine is engineIf it is in working condition, it can become the basis of various new appliances for the home.
2. Drum - manufacturers make it from high-quality stainless steel, because the main burden during washing falls on it. Disconnect all connections and wires, take out the tank from the car and pull out the drum from it.
3. Loading hatch - a very useful thing, carefully dismantled, laid on a rack in the garage.
4. Small parts also do not throw away - they will be useful in the economy.
5. Compact and heavy counterweights and powerful springs - they will always find a use, which will be discussed below.
6. Himself body also useful, so we put the walls and cover in place.

If you are familiar with electronic devices, then the analog board is also useful - there are many different components needed for the repair of electrical appliances in the house.

Now we will consider in more detail what useful mechanisms and things can be made from outdated washing machine.

Useful mechanisms

First of all, it is possible to use spare parts from the old washer for manufacturing useful mechanisms in the household.

Grinding and cutting machine

It is quite simple to give a second life to an electric motor of household appliances - its power is quite enough to make a grinding machine. There are no difficulties for the home craftsman here: fix the motor case on a powerful wooden base (the board section will fit), connect the start and shutdown button, make an adapter on the shaft, where the grinding or cutting wheel will be mounted. Other homemade from the engine from the washer can be viewed here.

Smokehouse

Many people dream of their own smokehouse to surprise their friends with smoked meats, but in the conditions of a city apartment there is nowhere to install it. We offer a version of the mobile counterpart - it is made from the drum of the washing unit with top loading. In a circle, we fix a thin sheet of steel so that the smoke does not go through the perforations, and in the middle we insert a special grid where fish and meat will be laid out for smoking.

A hole is made at the top under the chimney where the smoke will come out; under the grating we place wooden sticks or splinters from oak, alder, cherry or apple. The main task is not to overdo it, the volume of the smokehouse turned out to be small, so it is not necessary to put a lot.The norm is better to find out in advance by the empirical method, from the smallest to the largest. Experts of this business assure that five small bars or dry branches are enough.

Perm removal machine

For those engaged in the breeding of poultry for subsequent implementation in the markets of cities, this improvement will appeal. We are referring to the assembly perosimnogo machines on their own. It works in the same way as the factory analogue, it only looks less aesthetic, but it is cheaper many times.

The principle of operation is not particularly complex:

1. A rather capacious tank is set with special rubber pins (bilami) with a threaded connection at the end, for tight and reliable connection with the housing.
2. The bottom rotates at high speed and is also studded with rubber beams.
3. A bird carcass scalded with boiling water is put into the tank: chicken, goose, duck or broiler.
4. When turned on, the bottom rotates, the bilas force the carcass to move quickly throughout the entire internal space, as a result of which the feathers fly off in different directions.
5. In 2 minutes the carcass is cleaned, only minor remains remain in the area of ​​the inside of the wings, tail and paws.

On the example of some farms, up to 30 carcasses can be plucked per hour in this way.

Amateurs believe that with mechanical plucking, carcasses are damaged, but in practice their presentation is maintained at 100%.

The tank is located horizontally, water is supplied, as shown in the photo. Below is an outlet to remove water and feather, so the bottom is slightly smaller than the diameter of the drum. Water supply favorably affects the whole process of mechanical plucking.

Most cost part - the purchase of durable rubber pins: the cost of one is at least $ 1.5, and they need at least 120 pieces, but the costs will quickly pay off.

Interior details

• then cut a hole for the cartridge and the connection wire;
• we insert the cartridge into the prepared hole, fix the circle on the rear wall of the drum, draw the wire outside;

The container is installed above the gutter, the harvested crop is laid through the hole for laundry, we pour water from the top of the hose, and below the dirty water flows by gravity through the perforations. The original design works like a colander in the kitchen, only much larger - at the entrance we get clean vegetables or mushrooms, quickly and without unnecessary trouble.

Many gardeners use the drum as growth limiter fruit shrubs or protecting the root system of rare flowers from pests - not a single rodent will overcome the steel protection, and excessive moisture will go through the system of holes.

Making a grill

The drum housing is made of stainless steel, and it is resistant to high temperatures, so you can make an original rotating grill, especially since perforations for blowing are already on all sides. We take old pipes, if we don’t have our own welding, we invite a neighbor - and in half an hour we have a barbecue in our yard for cooking kebabs. So that the weather does not spoil the holiday, we build a durable rain shelter from above.

Brazier yourself quite simple to make from the drum frontal cars, with a vertical laying of linen - it is necessary to make minor modifications: trim the side with the grinder, and add a stable support from below.
