    Потратить кучу времени, электроэнергии, воды, загадить всё вокруг мелким мусором а потом жечь его вместе с металлом - ТО ЧТО НУЖНО!

    @Panda_Gibs Год назад +59

    A fun addition to your setup may be an eddy current generator. Basically a drum covered in magnets that spins. If you run your scrap shreds over it, the plastic should drop from gravity and the aluminum will get a bit of a flicking action that can send it down a secondary chute into a separate container. Much less water waste, and less need for the drying step!

    tbh to everyone saying he should've stripped the cables with a knife, i think the method he chose worked out better for melting it down anyway. I'm no expert so don't take this comment too seriously.
