propercartridges Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 hi all do any of you people know of anybody in the country but preference would be given to the north to a person who could make a small version of a bleiminster shot machine if you go on u tube type in lead shot making then type this word keihinsdad you will see a machine making I think 400 ils per hour the shot making is what I am after the drying and grading is not a big problem if you go to atesci you will see a big blieminster doing everthing a small version of this please thank you all george Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Why not try John at Folkestone Engineering? To be honest the price you're getting your shot for I wouldn't bother making your own. Edited July 12, 2014 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrowning2 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 So how cheap is lead shot from the manufacture? If you can sell it for £2.50 a kg including vat and make a nice profit it must be Cheap which then follows that you are making £50 £60 or more profit per 1000 cartridges yet the manufactures alway complain they make no profit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 How close does the design have to be to the one on YouTube? (As in 5,5kw heater elements, double boilers, etc.) Only ask as I did my time as a sparky in a switchgear firm attached to the shipyard...and a mate not far from your place is an instrument technician on the rigs. May be a slim chance I can twist my mates arm...plus a contact near me could maybe do the driptray sections. What do such machines cost as the parts won't be cheap?

propercartridges Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 ok I know a bit about the job like I said I want a one similar to that for the drying and grading no problem just a good constant stream this would be with bought lead mixed properly I have all the recipies for the lead last quote I got on a 2 ton furnace with all switchgear was about 7 600 pounds that would do 2 tons at a time so basically while you were sorting out the dropped stuff the next batch could be melting will talk to you tomorrow on the phone see you george Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
