This has been another popular request from my youtube comments and emails
guys want to see transformers run down through the hammer mill
and in particular transformers out of microwaves
and i'm not real sure if any of these come out of a microwave or what size they would be
this is the biggest one I picked up
I don't know, probably weighs 8 or 10 pounds
it's probably a little big for this size of hammer mill
This a 16" x 12" hammer mill
but I'll throw one down here and see what happens
and show you what the result is
so here are our transformers that we ran through the hammer mill at 2 inch
and it busted all apart but it didn't really do you a whole lot of good.
you still have all this steal and stuff to pick through
the copper wire kinda hangs up on stuff
and its hard to separate
so what I'm gonna try and do is run it through this hammer mill that has a 3/8ths gap
and not that they are all busted up all that stuff should go through
and what I'm hoping to do is take all these steal plates and roll them up into tiny little steal balls.
and the copper should break up into little tiny pieces
Than you can just mag out all the steal, it should be nice and
it should be nice and cleaned out from the copper
the copper should all be liberated from the steal
You just mag out all of the steal and you have clean copper
We will start her up here and see what we can do
Here is all those busted up transformers that I ran through the 2inch
than I ran them through the 3/8ths screen
It ground up all the steal into little balls and all the copper wire is liberated
I'm going to run a floor magnet over this and
suck up all the steal and I'll show you the results
This is after I ran a magnet over the steal pieces
and you can see they came out 99% clean
here's the copper, it still has a bunch of paper and plastic and stuff
but there is no steal in it
