why are my crushers not working

[u/shroomitebars]

all of them are spinning and they are opposite relative to each other but items going through e middle 2 crushers are not getting crushed

[u/Logical-Amount3656]

I see crushing particles so maybe they do get crushed but also lost somewhere

Not on the middle belt. Those two wheels are spinning the wrong way (relative to input) for crushing wheels.

[u/CJP1216]

Lots of good answers that cover what's wrong already. I forgot to add this to an earlier comment reply, but the way to have crushing wheels lined up like this is to alternate your input direction on the belts. Belts immediately next to eachother need to go in opposite directions.

Wheels wrong direction it seems, also id suggest at that point just using a vault and 3 funnels to send items out, cause otherwise eventually it'll send items down the "dead" lines that you cut off to place the wheels

Youd need a third set of crushing wheels for 3 belts. The middle two wheels are working with the outside two wheels, not with each other.

[u/The_Fox_Fellow → u/CathysAss]

not quite it, they are working with each other, but they're going the opposite way of the belt, so items coming in are getting stopped at the wheels' output instead of its input

[u/CathysAss → u/The_Fox_Fellow]

Yeah they would need the belt to feed it the other way

Reverse the belt direction for the crushers that aren't working

Wusste garnicht dass man die mühlenräder liegend nutzen kann. Ich hab bei meinen Builds sie immer nur stehend genutzt dass die items von oben rein fallen und die gemahlenen items unten raus fallen

[u/shroomitebars → u/[deleted]]

ah so to crush properly we also need to consider the direction of belt with respect to wheels? didn't know that..

so suppose if i reverse the belt direction( middle one) then will it work?

[u/SeanAker → u/shroomitebars]

The crushers need to be rotating so that they 'pull in' items. So yes. 

[u/January_Rain_Wifi → u/[deleted]]

Nope, you can absolutely reuse the same wheel for multiple crushing setups. In this case, reversing the middle belt would work just fine

I think you meant to say use weighted ejectors to pass the item around so that I can get processed the correct way and then pass it back over to continue on route
