Shredding & Melting 1000 Coca Cola Soda Cans Into Huge Aluminium Ingots

- In this video i'm casting large Aluminium Ingots which are made from empty Coca Cola and other soda cans.
First i'm shredding the cans to make them smaller, and then i'm melting them in my metal foundry.
The RAW footage was cut up very much because it took me several hours to melt all the cans :)
The result are 3 awesome amuminium ingots which i will use in my future aluminium casting projects

A big thanks goes to my parents who collected these soda cans for the past 6 months. They also helped me in this video to shred the cans and do some preparations for the video.

A huge thanks to my parents who collected these cans for me the past several months ! Also thanks to www.baller.be for supplying me these T-shirts (only Belgian and Dutch people will know what these mean :) Soon there will be some 'PressTube' Merch also !! Who would buy PressTube Merch?
hello
Yay merch

PressTube can you cast from the ingots a aluminium sword of a weapon or something just like that
i´m worried for your parents. 1000 soft drinks can´t be good for you!
Me: “That’s at least 6 kg.”
Him: “3 kg.”
Me: “What… Oh wait, that’s aluminium.”
I thought the same thing!
In the US scrap cast aluminum is about $0.30 per pound. So 20 lbs of aluminum is worth about $6 in the US. It's not about the money is about what you can make with it which makes it more valuable. Paint is very cheap but fine art in a museum costs substantially more. It's all about what you do with the artistic medium that counts. People will pay much more for a car pulley or a toothed gear than the material it's made from. My point is it's not the scrap that's valuable it's what you do with it that matters most. Thank you for your video. I absolutely love your grinder and foundry setup. It's a high quality setup and one you should be genuinely proud of. Great video, I learned a lot.
For future reference, when making massive ingots like those, you might try dusting the inside of the mold with a little powdered graphite. It'll help the mold release the ingot.
Me: Where is the ice?
Freshly casted aluminium ingot: Gone, reduced to atoms.
Well freshly casted aluminium ingot , is wrong , it's still in molecules !
technically it got reduced into molecules.

I very much enjoyed this video. I also have made a home furnace to melt aluminium and brass. I have found that a small amount of table salt helps separate the dross from the aluminium for a significantly better yield. My experience has been that the dross, when hot, has an ash-like consistency and is very frangible after it has cooled. Thank you very much for posting these videos.
I did this once as a teenager (I’m upper teens now, but that was lower teens). My friend and I started a giant fire in their backyard, and melted a ton of aluminum cans and a bit of foil to increase the purity. We even used an air mattress air pump to give the crucible more air. Their mom thought that we had meant a few pieces of paper on fire when we asked, and not a homemade forge. We had 10 gallons of water on standby in case something went wrong (when we put it out, the 5 gallon bucket wasn’t enough, so we had to use the second one). Their mom actually let us do it when she found out! She just supervised us afterwards. That was an interesting day.
Alexis Harper interesting day?! More like the coolest day ever! My mom would never let me attempt such a thing. Ur so luckyy😓
Salazzle is fucking hot
Richie Ingpiece Um, yeah, so just an fyi, a regular fire can melt iron very slowly, so why would you EVER construct a fire on aluminum, which has a melting point that is a little more than half of iron’s melting point? That’s just plain stupid.
@@hokage1997 the pokemon if so why
Aluminum foil generates more dross than aluminum, even when submerged in molten aluminum - don't waste your time tossing it into your crucible.
ik ben geen Nederlander omdat ik dit spul heb vertaald, maar ik wil zeggen dat dit een geweldige video is
Toffe t-shirt. Ik ben een bear!🐻
I showed this to a friend. In Australia, there is an aluminium can buy back at Woolworths. Apparently there are about 71 aluminium cans in a kilo. The can-buyback would give you $7.10 for those cans. BUT a kilo of aluminium at scrap merchants would only give you $1.25 for a kilo.
Don’t forget the views on this video ;)
Looks like nearly 50% in volume is slag, plastic lining, paint and lacquer. Nice ingots and good video.
I was amazed at the volume of slag. Is it good for nothing waste?
Not really. I can tell there is a lot of aluminum still in that slag. He wasn't very careful scrapping it off, so he can reheat and melt out the remaining aluminum. And, most of that slag is aluminum oxide, which is what a lot of angle grinder wheels are made from, so he actually has a way of making his own grinding compound out of it.
Aluminium cans are super thin.
Jj i8
that's a lot of slag. think you could get maybe half an ingot more if you purify that!
A lot of it was caused by him shredding the cans - if he had put them in one at a time and fully submerged each can using a piece of rebar he would have gotten an extra 2.6 pounds of aluminum.
This is the FIRST Video I have seen where someone shredded things and actually used what was left of them to make something else
Nice video, not clickbait like I expected
8:19 Forgive for my dirty hands😂😂
Hallo , I'm TIEFA.

Might as well call me grape I’m so jelly of your shredder for processing the cans!😂 Sweet setup. 👍🏻
He made $22-$25 of those bars. But hey you can buy more cans now.
It's 10 minutes I guess 4 ads and USA channel = US CPM = GREAT CPM = 1.3m views / 1000 x 2.5 = 3.2k
But that's a bit high only if it's USA all but his made around 1.8-2.5k
A lot of scrapyards wont even buy homemade ingots. Theres no telling what someome actually put in it
Hi Pain Exist
But he could have gotten 100 dollars if he recycled though
and burned a lots of gas!
I have several comments. First, the aluminum in can form is valuable as scrap, (To make new cans.) A better thing to melt would be to get ond pistons, heads etc. The alloy from the castings will give you stronger castings for your project.
Next, if you would have made smaller ingots, you could have just re-melted them next time. By making ingots bigger than your crucible now you have to chop them up before you can melt them.
The value in those 1000-1100 cans was a youtube video that would generate millions of views.
I don't follow your thinking. Why would melting cans be more entertaining than old pistons?
Because views make money and money is nice.
VbgVbg 113 ,
I get the point that making an interesting video can earn money for the creator of the video.
Did you get my points about the size of the ingots and the choice of the alloy chosen to melt?
Yeah, he should have remelted them to make it as pure as possible, no slag or waste in them
The slag removal is also very satisfying to watch
If you still have one of them send it to DemolitionRanch so he can make a video
but he already shot an aluminum block tho.

It’s amezing that shredder did not get overloaded with all these cans,but it was cool to see that shredding & melting process, too bad you could not fill in the entire block atonce but still it was cool to watch it👍
Je komt uit 🇧🇪 ik vind jouw een leuke RUclipsr
Me: Hell is not a bad word
You: Oh hell no! You said a bad word!
Yeah pretty much
It says H*ll yeah and not hell yeah
Those aluminum ingots are sweet!
Did you weigh all the cans together before?
Yea?!
Yeah i was interested in how much weight was in the slag and how much went up in smoke!
well 1 can approximietly 15grams x1000 equals 15000g=15kg something around that i think
33.33 pounds you stupid shit net loss of 10 pounds
35 cans are about 1 pound I know because I scrap cans for cash
2 favorite maschines in the video
Cool Ben 01 they are not maschines lol they are machines
I never thought I’d see the day that I would find shredding and melting cans relaxing 😂😂. This is so cool.
You should put your mold on top of your furnaces. You will get t a better ingot no air bubbles
In Germany you cant do this..or better said it wont make sense. In Germany you get 0,25 € for a can if you bring it back to the supermarkets.
Djerun88 do you need a proof of purchase to claim that money back?
Pawel Krzysztof Possession is all that's needed in the areas of the US that have deposits on cans. If you have the cans, you can claim the deposit.
Pawel Krzysztof No all cans that get you money back have a certain symbol and you can return it in nearly every store
Or you drive to Venlo.
errrr...but you pay 25c pfand / deposit at the point of purchase.
Thanks for the video to satisfy the BASE LINE OF HUMAN DNA of creation+restoration+construction etc.
I don't have any kind of stuff to do these things BUT ,,,,, Now , I think I am doing these things , through your hands. Thanks again for your valuable videos.
That is one beautiful ingot my friend!
Já estava com saudades desses tipos de vídeo. ❤
For a person from Belgium your English is very good
We loved your channel
Need about 100 of thos ingots to make som good armour in Skyrim

I'm not sure if it's because I'm deliriously tired and cannot focus, but that bear tshirt is the best thing I've seen all week. I need one.
Great video.
Where does one buy a shredder like that? Also, the furnace?
Google it.......
As a person having no idea what to term this type of shredder, I googled it and was inundated with paper shredders and leaf shredders. Plastic and waste shredders only return industrial machines in the $11000 range.
Thanks for being unhelpful in response to a legitimate question.
Amazon is the way. Fellow traveler, let us walk the roads to Amazon together.
Google was sooooo much help. Not! It’s a double shaft industrial shredder but I couldn’t find a retailer who sells them. You may be able to order from a manufacture for around $3K US.
Google it.....lol Another way of saying I have no fucking idea what you are talking about.....
I took some cast aluminum in to sell and the value was less than the loose cans per pound I took in.
That's is usually because cans are a known "Grade" of Aluminum that can simply be crush and sold to Smelters, Ingots are can all kinds of unknown other materials and so have to be refined before reuse
Yes, you could have added zinc or lead to make it heavier, and as the other person said, they know what cans are but ingot they don't. A cool vid though, I'm a foundry guy so no critiques from me, I'll be nice. Good job.
Another cost to you is your fuel cost. Too energy intensive.
Also all that guop he took out was zinc
Awesome video. So aluminum today in US is .92c/lb. I would love to be able to try this, but ingot around here sells for junk price. Great vid, subscribed!
This is ASMR to my ears
Ik ben een bang bang saapjen, en ik ben een beer😂😂😂
Aren’t you spending more money on propane gas than the value of the aluminum? Excuse my naive question, I really don’t know

That shredders got be the best garden toy you can have I could play with that all day everyday it's awesome and satisfying to watch
Also HOLY ALUMINUM THATS ALOT OF CANS
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF CANS
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE
I wish I had the stuff to do this coz this is awsome!
The Brick Man, Go watch the (king of random) Channel he shows you how to build a backyard Foundry using plaster of Paris and play sand I've made one and it was fun.
At 8:04 I could swear I saw an Innova DiscCatcher in the yard. That is awesome! Disc on, brother!
U T-SHIRT IS GENIAAL BEN, Ik ben een bang bang sapjien en zou graag nog eens een casting video zien! ;)
I admire your endeavours but why don't you make something functional or aesthetic.
This is what I call recycling
That shredder is the way to go
Also imagine how much money it took to keep that fire going
that fonv dude not much, cans melt in about 10-20 minutes or less.
that fonv dude never mind I didn’t watch the whole video. Probably a lot.
Plus all the power to use the shredder and for such little returns
but 3 mil views !! made good money for him !!
One 1p pound tank is $12.00
Probeer serieus te blijven, het vertalen van de gewichten naar Imperiale eenheden is zinloos en wordt in 99% van de landen op deze Aardkloot niet begrepen.
A lot of aluminum left in the slag, you could re-melt it. Also use borax to help draw out more metal
I was gonna suggest the same thing...about the borax, and also I don't think it's a good idea cooling the metal while it's still in the mold. I would also suggest he use graphite molds instead of iron ones.
Dankzij de reacties weet ik dat je belgs ben ga door met youtube je doet t goed💪✌
You should make a full solid aluminium can with it
I can’t believe I haven’t found this channel before!
Wouldn't layering the ingots like that trap impurities in the middle?

The slag is scooped out. It's on the side of the forge
my mom said these were bad quality ingots but the video still good though

_You have a drinking problem_ :P
LOL :P
True
No,his mum and dad do though!
Dutch heh!
drinking is a serious problem when you begin to hide it in the toilet tank, etc. or suddenly make ingots for no apparent reason, at all!
That’s not a drinking problem, that’s a drinking solution!
I am pretty sure you are not letting all the cans melt. You skimming unmelted cans off the top and wasting half your aluminum. There would never be that much slag. remelt what you scraped off the top and next time let your cans melt all the way your rushing the process. I use to work in a foundry for 12 years.
that's what I was thinking way too much waste
Its called slag. Its the impurities.
Yes there will be some slag but I dont think it would be near that much. Cans are pure aluminum.
shartne, But remember how many cans he actually melted down. About 10% of all the cans is pure slag.
Cans are pure aluminum. probably maybe 5 percent,, even though. he slagged out half the crucible.
the fire sounds like doctor whos tartis xD just close your eyes and listen good xD
So it is worth 30€. In germany you get money back for empty bottles or cans. It would be 275€ for 1000 cans.
Michael Janzen 250€. Get your math together 😂😂😂
In finland you get 0.15€ per can

In germany: how to waste 250 Euro.
100 Abos ohne Video challange/Der Wissenschaftler 0.25 euro/can?
Hst Hast yes.
There's something called 'Pfand', and if you buy for example a can, you've to pay 0,25 euro more. But after that, you can give the can back and receive your 25 cent.

Depends where you sell and the purity. With the refining process he's using the ingots aren't very pure due to the slag content, paint and other impurities from using pop cans. To Increase the purity he would have to smelt the ingots 2 or 3 more times each, and use an iron mesh dipped from bottom to top of the crucible to remove as much slab as possible. And then pour it evenly throughout a clean mold. As each time you pour you are reintroducing impurities, slag, etc from previous pours. On top of that slow cool, it as dipping it in water introduces steam which creates air bubbles which can creates air bubbles and result in an uneven ingot. And after that depending on the weight and amount souls say 50 pounds. About 3-4 full size ingots. You get around 2-3 dollars per pound plus tax. And that if its pure to 10 percentile. If it's not refined and smelter correctly you'll only get around .80 to 1.20 per pound. Honestly the effort and time it would take to refine isn't really worth the amount it's worth unless you have an industrial assembly line where you are producing 250 to 1000 pounds per work day. You're honestly better off just selling the raw material, as the refineries know exactly what they are getting.

You can lessen the amount of dross if you put flux in with the aluminum shavings ie. borax soap or table salt.

maybe there whas so much slack because not all cans are made of aluminium but MOST Coca cola cans are made of Iron
Who the hell told you they were made of iron?
Not completely but, have you tried to close a magnet to a can? surprise.
The fact that they are effected by a magnet and my best vriend that collecte trash cans and brings them to fhe scrap man for material money. Pretty fucking sure theres iron in it
They are 98% aluminum according to coca cola.
Shipmate | Revengefull Trout You might be thinking of the coke cans made like 50 years ago. I have been drinking coke all my life and I have yet to see a coke can made of iron.
Spent a lot of energy collecting the cans, powering the shredder, gassing up the crucible. Is it worth it?
