Scrapping some refrigeration compressors to recycle some copper

[@ScrappingScotland]

Once you cut off the copper crown, hold the stator in the vice with the cut end facing up the way. Then go round each cut with a screwdriver and tap the copper through the bottom. So much easier

[@ScrappingScotland]

Meat cleaver, axe, machete all work really well for splitting stators in half. Then it's easy to wedge out the copper

Great content you will find easy ways to pull these apart i do them a lot and have my way it ususally takes me 20 minutes,good stuff mate from australia.

You sure do. I could have just edited my mistakes out but then no one would be learning. At least we know how not to do it lol

COPPER!!! ♻️💰♻️💰♻️💰♻️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DavidGS66]

Meat cleaver thru middle of armature is best way.

[@Coppercasting]

Yeah i have seen it done like that before but i do not have one of those so i just make do with what i have

[@ScrappingScotland]

Stator not the armature. The armature has a steel rod running through it.

[@DavidGS66]

​​@@ScrappingScotland You are probably right, but an Armature can be moving or not moving. An armature carries AC electric current in windings.

[@ScrappingScotland]

@DavidGS66 the armature revolves mate and it's held within the stator. Yes it also can contain copper windings. He was trying to remove the copper from the stator though, not the armature
