I can't believe I have never done this, great idea! Love the peeler one. I've only just found your channel, was recommended on my analytics page, have joined you 👍
I process electric wires in diameter from over 30mm and all the way down to o.2mm wires, without any tools. I don't even waste precious time cutting off the plugs/connectors. The solution is: Pyrolysis. Years ago I bought a professional stripping machine; waste of time! In each pyrolysis run 50 kg of wires are processed in each batch. Processing time: 1 hour; total working time: maximum 10 minutes! After completion of the pyrolysis process all connector pins are easy to pull off, as they are completely free of any plastic. Don't waste you time by trying to pull small gold plated pins out of plastic connectors; they are pressed into the plastic, or the plug is moulded around them. Gold plated pins are separated out for later gold recovery, the rest is thrown directly into the brass bucket. Pyrolyzed wires are easy to sort out into individual fractions: Bare bright copper, for electro refining to 99.999% purity / low value aluminium wires, for melting into bars / tinned wires, for valuable tin recovery / nickel wires, for nickel recovery. 99.9% of all scrappers consider the plastic insulation as annoying garbage. How foolish! By pyrolysis you'll recover every single bit of value. The yield is not only the metals, but also Raw Pyrolysis Oil, which in a later process is cracked into free petrol/gasoline for the car, free diesel for the truck, and free viscous oil for the metal melting furnace as well as free heating of the workshop. A word of caution: All internal wires from electronics contains Fire Retardants (FR)! Usually brominated, which means hazardous Bromine will be released during pyrolysis. Such wires are always processed separately. The Bromine is recovered and sold as either elementary Bromine or NaBr. Warning: If anyone want to engage into pyrolysis he/she must be aware that 99% of electric wire insulation is made from Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic. PVC plastic contains 57% Chlorine. Upon heating, during the pyrolysis process, a huge quantity of deadly Chlorine gas is released. It's important that this gas under no circumstances is released. The pyrolysis unit must be constructed as a fully closed system capable of capturing all Chlorine. The Chlorine gas is converted into free HCl (hydrochloric acid), a very useful chemical for hydrometallurgical processing of e-waste, Precious Metals recovery, and many other processes. Also be aware that after pyrolysis of electric wires, the carbon residue in the pyrolysis vessel will be contaminated with poisonous Antimony. This dangerous element must be extracted before the carbon can be used. As the boiling point of Antimony is 1635 C no vapor is created, all Antimony will remain in the carbon residue. It's worth mentioning that this video only show stripping of single strand electric wire. Try this method on multistrand wire and you'll cut into the individual thin copper threads, resulting in an inevitable loss of a great part of your copper. Further the insulation is extremely thin on o.2mm or o.4mm wires, making it impossible to strip such thin wires by this method. I recover 100% of the copper by pyrolysis. A final remark: Potato peelers and also graters have a very fine thin sharp edge. Plastic is well known for wearing down cutting equipment very fast, due to the added fillers. Among the worst is plastic made for wire insulation, containing not only plasticizers for softening, but also a large amount of fillers for UV protection and enhanced weather protection; some of these are very abrasive. Kitchen utensils used for this purpose will become dull in no time.
I strip all of my wire by hand. I use my multi tool, needle nose pliers would serve the same purpose. I put a 1x6 plank of wood on my coffee table and I use the box cutter i keep for work to cut the insulation as I pull the wire with my multi tool. It works better than any other method I've tried. Replacement blades are cheap. You get a feel for it.
If we are buying tones of scrap cable wires, how to negotiate the price of copper. We cannot estimate the kgs of copper without stripping of the wire right. Need some expert advice
Stripping cable is a time taken v price paid for stripped cable / bright wire. The majority of cable is not worth stripping as your hourly wage is very small. Stripping cable by hand is hard on your fingers and wrists, if doing a lot of it buy a machine
The question you need to ask is it worth the time ... if u strip 1 pound every 15 minutes (which wouldn't be easy ) BARE bright is around $3.50 a pound I think?? You are making $14 per hour , where if you scrap it with the insulation on you get around $1.20 per pound , it takes no extra work and you are gaining the weight of the insulation itself. The stranded wire is definitely not worth stripping , cash it in as is..
That's a great idea .....love this never thought about a grader
I can't believe I haven't thought of this. Thank you
Same. The cheese grater!
Genius I am definitely going to try this thanks
I can't believe I have never done this, great idea! Love the peeler one. I've only just found your channel, was recommended on my analytics page, have joined you 👍
You are flipping awesome!!!! The potatoes peeler works great
Yes my friend you are the King. Great video, Thank you. T.

Fine ideal too.simple nice to share
Great ideas here, you don't need any fancy equipment!
Try using those ideas with bigger gauged wire, or a large quantity of it. Nope, a’int gonna….
Get a bigger cheese grater 😂@@6980869
Bravo à vous,
Merc
Au plaisir. 👍👍👍
Awesome getting into electro cultural ❤
Grest ideas! Simple, safe and easy to use. Thank you for sharing.
Thank You
@@CopperKinghow you get do you get the copper out of a HDMI cable if they any copper
Obrigado por compartilhar ❤
Where did you buy the initial hand vegetable grater?
Thanks for tricks
Cool, but how's it work on multi strand wire..?
I've watched a bunch of video's like this. The tiny multi strand wire is the hardest to strip.
I strip all of my wire by hand. I use my multi tool, needle nose pliers would serve the same purpose. I put a 1x6 plank of wood on my coffee table and I use the box cutter i keep for work to cut the insulation as I pull the wire with my multi tool. It works better than any other method I've tried.

I’ve tried a lot of different methods but when your stripping a few hundred pounds at a time a machine is money well spent imo
Ótima ideia de reaproveitamento que legal aqui e BRASIL
Good idea 👌👍🏻
Thank You
Вот это круто. Завтра попробую
What about the thin wires with a lot of coper lines? You can "clean" these wires if you heat them with a hummer...
If we are buying tones of scrap cable wires, how to negotiate the price of copper. We cannot estimate the kgs of copper without stripping of the wire right. Need some expert advice
I think shaving blade will also good 👍
Good ideas
Thank you broo!❤
Love it ty
Просто гениально.....

Sir ji wire se copper nikaalne ke liye jo pehle tool use kiya uska name kya hai sir ji please reply
Peeler for fruit vegtables
شكرا جزيلا لك لان عندي اسلاك وممنوع اشعال النار في مدينتي 🇮🇶
Any links that sell that device?
Where did you purchase your stripper.
Thanks bro❤❤❤❤
🤗🤗❤️
Так так.Пойду проверю🤔
NO FUCKING WAY!!! omfg that's crazy with the potatoe peeler!!!
What is the name of first mover
Patotopealer
A potato/vegetable peeler.
Where I sell copper?
Super
Thanks
Faz no frecsivel no rigido é fácil
Necesito un rayador de verduras para pelar cables , genial es lo mas 😀
Use a 🥔 peeler. Same. Thing 😊
Нужно посмотреть, найти у Вас видео по витым проводам
useful :)
Name of the tool bro
Just drill a hole in some wood then run a screw till it’s tight and pull

Faxibal wire
Tenta no fio flexivel 😂
Viva Christo Rey
interesting to see that you can use a beard shaver and a Cheese grater to strip wires
Show!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
احرقه افضل من هذا التعب❤❤😢
You can sell this copper for more right
Yeh naram wire hogi, kadak wire nahi hogi
Is that an old razor or potato peeler or?
신박하네
damn,i didnt know wat copper was, me and my dad threw away a tv, and hundreds of cables😢
How is that even possible?
A potato peeler is good
Why you do that
Одножильный провод проще всего чистить. На многожильном проводе твой метод не будет работать!
растворитель лучше всего
Romanian "korn"
Hardly worth the effort with those cables.
way too much time to get each pound of bare copper! Better ways to spend your time!
Yeah, but if you're gonna throw it away, you might as well make a little money. Every nickel counts in this economy
😅😅 0:45
Is that a potato peeler?
وحنا نولع فيه النار هههههههههههه
На тёрке с ума сойдешь чистить
Ehh
ЗБС способ
😂

Might depend on your volume
