hey guys my name is Jason with Mount Baker Mining and Metals and today we're
gonna be running a sample of scrap metal through our scrap line. And this is a
dirty brass sample, and so you have a lot of non-ferrous metal on these pieces but
there's also some small pieces of steel and things that we want to break out and
liberate from the non ferrous and it'll greatly increase the value of the non
ferrous. And so the sample are gonna be running, we're going to be running it
through one of our 24 by 16 HD hammer mills it has a two inch by three inch
screen in the bottom. It's going to discharge out onto this conveyor belt,
come up under the cross belt magnate and the cross belt will pull off any steel
and this barrel here. The non-ferrous and non-magnetics are gonna come off the end of this conveyor and down into
this box here and we'll take a look at it after we run.
So here's the results from our dirty brass from the hammer mill and I've got it
separated out into three piles. From here over is all the non ferrous, and I just
went through real quick in about 30 seconds I hand picked out some clean
copper and some clean yellow brass. And so I think that during production it
would pay to have at least one person after the mag belt picking out the
different fractions, the bigger pieces of yellow and the clean copper because that
really is where a lot of the value is. There's still quite a bit of yellow
brass, there's some copper in here, a little bit of cast aluminum, some
pot metal. I think this is what you would call a red metal mix, or a non ferrous
mix, but I still believe there's quite a bit of value in this pile and because
there's no ferrous in it, we've pulled out all the steel, it's worth more than
having the ferrous in it. Down here at the end is the ferrous pile and I was really
surprised at this there's hardly any ferrous in this sample,
it was mostly non-ferrous. But you can see little pipe nipples and
springs and there's a little pipe nipple as well. So most of the weight of this
sample is actually a non ferrous metal that is worth more now that we've taken
the ferrous out. So I hope you guys enjoyed the sample, if you have any
questions or comments about what you saw please let us know you can find our
phone number and email in the description below. So thanks for watching
and we'll see on the next video.
