May be your intent to "colliquify" but it's REALLY exTRUsion not exSCREWsion. But truly you've REALLY impressed me with your energy and intent. I hope you get rich in your recycling ventures
Thats a great Idea and a great way to repurpose something. Harbor freight sells something similar to a trampoline but has the tarp I-lets pressed in them that I've been wanting to buy. Harbor Freight also sells the crimps you could put on the trampoline.
Very efficient, good equipment sets one up for speed and accuracy. Looks like you’ve got it going on . First time viewing and I subscribed. Thank You .
Most impressive and efficient transformer tear down I have ever seen. I would not want to be on receiving end of that hammer swing 😀. Always enjoy your scrapping videos because you maximize everybit of scrap. So Many scrappers just settle for shred - that's not scrapping.
My husband used to work in a electric motor and transformer repair shop. Tearing down stuff they almost always used air chisels. They had a gas furnace with a blower on it to burn the paper and coatings off the transformer coils. If you have a part that is full of screws or light bolts zip them off with and air chisel. Easy, easy fast.
@@ProjectShopFl 1977 - 1981 - that would of been around $150 - $175 for a rewound. $900 that is a lot for that small of motor but if you got to have it, you got to have it. Can't halt production. Have a great and good one.
Sold my house a week before the renter next door moved in...he’s a one man Metal scraper...I didn’t notice until the none stop loud banging ...I think it’s illegal to do a recovering/ recycling business in residential...He dismantled refrigeration and stuff...I reported the guy..
I can't wait to see the hammer Mill, Shredder and sluice All In Action. Sounds like project shops industrial revolution. I'd also absolutely love to see a 500-pound Ingot.
Scrap flips/ hit and run/ Get N Go Bro. I've been in this flip game for a few minutes. Pays my bills and I can't get fired from punching a mofo hahaha. Money in the bank!
carabiner tip is great! I'm leery of those container weighs at the scrap yards, as far as gross weight and net, do you weigh your stuff before you take it, or trust them? Will your people deal with local scrappers?
I weigh the copper mainly, but I trust my buyer and routinely see them weigh the containers. But When I first started I went all the yards with 40 lbs of copper in 5 gal buckets weighed on 3 different scales and I found the honest ones. I've been dealing with them exclusively for 10 years. They don't buy from the public, But It don't hurt to ask. thanks for watching.
Nice video! I've seen some scrappers like Ewaste Ben sell poured copper ingots for more than double their copper value, so even simple ingots might not be such a bad idea to pour! :D
One thing you could try to help eliminate the excess material from your shredded copper is to build a pyrolizer- much safer than straight combustion (the volatile organic compounds are real nasty, don't want to breathe that in or put it in the air) leave copper and basically charred bits that will easily break break down in a mill, separate the copper from the excess material. Some electronics scrappers do that and sleuce the material, though they're usually looking for microscopic gold bonding wires etc. Also, as far as what you do with it, people buy up bars of copper for their own metal casting projects. Luckily, there's a bunch of RUclips channels out there that are dedicated to pretty much everything in this comment 😅
@@ProjectShopFl actually, come to think of it, if that's rubber, then pyrolisis would likely create sulfur dioxide which is super toxic stuff. Anyway, the same process can be used to turn virtually any kind of waste plastic into diesel fuel as well. Not the smallest of up front costs to build a pyrolisis rig for that purpose but waste plastic is certainly very easy to come by.
@@Tacosgalore24 Dude, I've been wanting to build one of these for a while. I did not know what it was called. lol I'm in to making my own fuel and energy. I make black diesel out of waste motor oil and gas. " w85" 85% waste oil 15% gas or diesel. Tranny fluid works better than motor oil. I also wanted to make a down draft gasifier to run a generator.
@@ProjectShopFl I'm not familiar with down draft gasifiers personally. To my understanding, a pyrolyzer is kinda like a distilling unit, but with an extra step involved of burning off gasses from heating, externally. That said, you theoretically should be able to use the same device to purify old fuels, oils in into usable fuel, even making gasoline from diesel. I'll find you a link on a design I just saw
@@Tacosgalore24 Ok thanks. A gasifier burns wood in a low oxygen environment then you condense the smoke and can be burned as fuel in a regular gas engine. I use to rebuild pallets so I had a ton of waste wood I wanted to run the air compressors on.
Its a combo of rust and whatever the coating that covers the transformers. I actually have a vac system for the presses but outside it really don't need it.
Hey man, love your stuff. I'm wondering if u ever gotta cut 3+" pieces of copper, and if so, how do u do it? I got these donut-shaped cores that are about 8" tall, w/3" thick walls, w/a 3"-4" hole in the center, top to bottom. 170lbs each! Brutal. Thanks for posting this video. Aloha!
I would use a diablo Aluminum/Copper cutting saw blade. It will cut like butter. Check out my video on scrapping a large commercial Transformer. I show the blade and some tips. Just be careful and good luck. Thanks for watching.
Just a question. If the guy you buy from in Miami is right close to the place you sell your scrap why do you not stop there first when you have a half load like you did in this video and then drop all the cast off since your seller has already processed it rather then haul it back to your place of operation? It would seem to be more efficient then having to handle it multiple times plus have it take up space until your next run.
90% of what I buy has to be processed. Also the place that I sell to doesn’t receive after 3 o’clock. Believe me I’m in the area and if possible just offloaded real quick I would definitely do that thanks for the suggestion and thanks for the watch
I offered him but he said its too hard to breath and I gave him ear plugs and eye protection. I made him where the eye protection. The respirator and ear protection is only really needed for the first press. I actually built a dust collection system for it but out side its not really needed.
i wonder how often does dot stop and check your fuel tank to see if you are running red fuel thats a big bad fine bad news bears maybe in future not mention that all ppl as you well should know are not pleasant folk
I always check the aluminum coils, he did a good job I did not find any copper. I said you could use red diesel not I use it. Black diesel can be used in off road equipment as well. The fuel is straight black so they would be really confused. lol Transmission fluid worked even better.
OOhh noo now we still dont know what it exactly is cant wait to see the granulator i have one too i own a guidetti 315 its a small wire granulator it works great
No, I fired him for not listening to me. Don't worry I world have fired him with in the hour because he was not productive in any way and thought he was just gonna show up and get paid. That incident just sped up the process and I don't need anyone to approve my equipment.
dude, I admire your hard work but, that hammering has got to be real hard on your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and back. See what your doctor says but that got to lead to repetitive stress syndrome. You don't want to be crippled in the future. Get the machine to do the work for you, it can be replaced.
Dude I built the machine so I don't have to do it by hand. I was showing how easy it can be done if you don't have a press like mine. 99% go through the press. I only use the hammer to knock off the pice that the machine bends.
I like how u said im gonaa let him catch up. Then switch to the hammer which appears to be way faster. And bury him. 😆
I got a lot of time in with that hammer. lol
May be your intent to "colliquify" but it's REALLY exTRUsion not exSCREWsion. But truly you've REALLY impressed me with your energy and intent. I hope you get rich in your recycling ventures
Thanks. I'm trolling people when talk about the Aluminum. lol
Wish we could see closer to what you are doing for us who have no idea😁
I've made a few videos on this process. This video pretty much explains it all.

Where are the lights or hazard reflectors for the back of your trailer?
It has lights but I will have to get the reflectors. lol
👍 why you put the nose during working with Transformator?
If you are talking about my respirator its because the machine kicks up dust

423 lbs of #2 copper, I took a pic with my phone of it on the scale but forgot to put it in the video. Next time I'll get it on video.
