A meeting participant reported that the gravel crusher's clutch failed and that parts had been ordered, leaving crushing operations paused until repairs are complete. "The clutch of course went out in it," the speaker said, adding that Tom had arranged parts and was aiming to have the unit fixed in about two weeks depending on parts arrival.
Staff described progress on electrical repairs: a new control panel has been installed and the big conveyor started without problems, but one drive that controls the feeder still needs troubleshooting. "I just have to work on the one drive that controls the feeder; it's been acting up," the same participant said. The speakers emphasized that the clutch is a mechanical failure separate from the electrical issues and that the unit's age and corrosion had contributed to the breakdown.
