I got an email the other day
from a small scrap yard
in the midwest
and they have
A whole bunch of these things
which are
the ends of copper aluminum radiators
this is very similar to a video I posted a couple of days ago of a
copper brass radiator out of
a vehicle but these are out of
air conditioning
units or freezers
and there is a steel
plate
and the ends of the copper tubes
all come out through the plate
loop around and it's all one big huge
cooling system
just like with brass aluminum radiators they take a saw zaw and cut the aluminum copper
radiator and all the fins off this side
and they are left with this steel
plate with the copper
hoops in it
so I'm going to take these units
and run them down through our hammer mill here
and were going to knock all those copper
U's off of there
The steel will come right out with a magnet and you will be left with little copper
pieces that you can pick out and sell for clean number 2
Here is what happened with the copper aluminum radiators with the steel ends on them
Here is all the steel pieces
the ends caps I guess
they just beat the copper right out of them
some of them got more rolled up than others
but there is no copper left in them
it all came pretty clean
here is some of the aluminum fins that were left on
on the ends as well
there is hardly any weight there, it doesn't weigh anything
it's easy enough to separate out
and here are all of your copper end pieces
they just get beat up in the hammer mill
and fall right out
There is a lot of weight there actually, I'm surprised how much copper was in those
You can see that we got our three different products
all clean now and ready to turn and make some money
Mark I hope you
liked the video and this is going to work out for you
thanks for watching and let me know if your interested
having any samples run down through the mill
I would be more than happy to go grab some for you
try it out, take a video and show everyone how it works
Thanks!
