If you guys have a catch basin that you can put underneath the material that you place in the incinerator, you could set the first burn at 1220.5 to catch and retrieve all the aluminum. Then set the next burn at 1763.2 to retrieve all the silver. And the last burn set the incinerator at 1984.3 for the copper.
Hi Projects Shop FL & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Projects Shop FL & Friends Randy & Hello Projects Shop FL & Happy New Year's & Best & 2025
Hi, I see that you put the transformers too tight in your clamp, if you loosen them a little (a few millimeters) then your cutting blade from the press will go through it more easily, and the sides of the clamp will not press outward. the welds stays intact. try it. greetings
Silver contacts will separate from the copper arms with map gas. You just gotta clip the copper shorter. Heat spreads throughout the copper. The larger the material the harder to remove the contacts!
Uh that silver makes me sick, I threw so much of that away not knowing what it was one time :( As for the pieces you have those are some good ones, even map gas will work to get them off but you have to cut the copper so you have the smallest amount of copper to work with. That way the heat will stay in the piece you have and melt the solder. If you leave the big ones connected copper works as a heat sink too well and you can't get it up to temp easily or at all. Your torch may have enough power though. Great setup on the transformers! Great video, good luck Scrapper!
I have a bunch of these small ones. I just trade them to TMR as is.. ;( Think I traded in some type of light ballast someone tossed near a dumpster. 80lbs. i got $15 for it Thing was mostly plastic... with epoxy with some copper showing Not sure how to bust that one
I'm number 8 got lucky tear that stuff up time to get money back my friend worked for musco lightning turned into a big ass company like I said you made it and got a template so you know what you need to do to repair it you made from scratch watch you do it and got it to work now need repair and you know how to do it
Are you able to sell cardboard in your area? I know if you come across a lot of cardboard in my area, you can sell it for pennies per pound. Cardboard with tape on it can be sold as cellulose for a penny a pound. It would only be worth it if you come across it by the ton.
why don't you reinforce your plate once and for all? so that way you don' t have to be welding every time? or have someone to custom make a thicker inch plate???? that is just my suggestion
Hi I wanna say thank you for making these videos I really learn a lot from you and watching your video's thank you for making them.
Glad you like them!
@ProjectShopFl I will continue to watch them. Happy New Year

Thanks, I don't think the temp is adjustable
Copper time! Been waiting patiently as possible! Let's do it!
Thanks for being patient. lol
Nice margins
Thank you!
Cool hat Steve.
👍👍👍
Love your work my favs are your transformer's scraps
Thanks! Transformers are my favorite too. lol
Making money scrapping isn't always sexy work but you've got a great system down that I'm sure helps to maximize recovery and $$$$.
Thanks
I really hope you can find the silver! I had hoped you wouldnt melt it. But take it apart with the jaw!
I have a bunch of silver I cut some with the jaw.
that was alot of transformers to go threw but i knew you could do it easy so thank you for sharing another great video with us
👍👍👍
Great video on the transformers cant weight to see what's next
Thanks!

Press makes quick work of the welds love it
Thanks!

try it. greetings
Thanks for the suggestion but I originally had a non adjustable jig and if you don't squeeze them parts will fly out.
caught it early this time lol nice man you have been busting ass keep up the good work
Thanks!
Nice quick weld fix for the press. Looks like a really good ROI on all that. Nice work!
Thanks!
Copper is king
I agree. lol
Man that pile you pulled from the incinerator is literally a hot mess. I would hate to have to go through that😮
Yes I wont be doing that again.
putting the dank in jank
😂😂😂
عمل رائع ومشوق بلتوفيق اتمنى لك النجاح
شكرا!

Thanks I will try now I cut all the copper short.

I've made a few videos on how break them down.
Bump the algorithm
Thanks! 👍👍👊👊
Fix the press once and for all ( quit kicking the can down the road !, it's gonna come back and bite you! )
Thanks for the suggestion
You should sell the melted AL as art.
you gunna buy it bud ?
@ I would.
Thanks for the suggestion
Heyooo🎉
Dang it, beat me by 12 seconds :p
Dang you are fast. lol
Burning/melting looks l like big mistake. Maybe crushing would work better?
Possibly, I don't like the burning.
What kind of customers do you get these transformers from? What was your approach to being in business with them?
I think he's been doing this for years and has had his customers for a long time.
Electrical contractors, I told them I'd pay cash for the transformers.

I use to get .10 per lb then it went down then they would only take it for free.
@ProjectShopFl as long as the disposal costs are down, it's all good.
16:32 Dirt on the camera lens, always check that camera lens after moving camera. 😉
Thanks I usually check.
I know how you love your nuggets! Haha
Yes they are my favorite. lol

Thanks for the suggestion, I will be making a hole new plate soon.
