Scraper pan

scraperpan05 · Nov 19, 2008

I used a parker 1/2 tube bender. I flared all the ends with a hydraulic crimper. 1/2 tube with wall thickness .049. No brazing, just 1/2 sleeve and 1/2 nuts all JIC fittings.

OK, I was basing my assumption of brazing on using ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal) fittings from Parker. Thanks for the info.

Here are some new pictures of the cylinder I had to change . Now the arpon open's 14" instead of 8'' works much better.

A great deal of skill and time must have gone into this scraper, but the picture looks like your scraper is located in a fairly well established subdivision? And you're already starting your second scraper? What's the story?

I'll bet scraperpan's land borders a typical suburban neighborhood. If so, he can just sit back and smile that he isn't crammed into a 1/10 acre lot like sardines in a can, or cube rats in a cube farm.

His last pictures brought a question to mind...
Will a scraper pan, if heavy enough, with a sharp enough cutting edge pick up ice and snow for removal from streets and driveways? Not that I have a need for one, it was more or less just a thought for somebody who lives in an area that has a need for a scraper pan and a snowblower, but not enough use (or funds) to purchase both?

Actually he has a single cylinder behind the bowl that picks up the back of the bowl and tips it forward to dump. You can see that on the first page and the first post about picture 3. it is very similar method as the company with the german sounding name that makes scrapers--Hoelscher or something like that.
