Here is one I know you scrappers have a hell of a time with
little tiny electric motors
you look down in there and there is quite a bit of copper in there
but it's a real pain to get it out
real labor intensive
this one has the shaft removed
this is a whole motor
We are going to run these down the hammer mill
bash them all up and try and get the copper
either 100% liberated on the first pass
or just knock it out of the housing
and then we will end up with the
center piece with the copper in it
and than we will re-run it down the hammer mill to knock all those steel plates off
See those steel plates all get stacked up and hold the copper in
we will run it and see what happens
I did just a real quick dirty sort here
there is a bunch of copper maybe the size of your head
and some steel pieces I didn't get yet
here is some of the
pieces that didn't become quite liberated there, is still some copper in those
run them through the hammer mill at either a smaller setting or run them through a couple of more times
bash those up
here's one and here is another one
these ones did come clean so there is no more copper in those
and this is a bunch of this steel junk and still some copper in there, it was quick and dirty
it was just a quick sort
here is a few of the
housings
this one got beat around so much it turned blue and got real hot
but the hammer mill didn't seem to care it just
spun it around in there until it spit it out
here is some of the stuff I haven't sorted yet
you kind of give it a shake
it becomes fairly clean and you put it in the copper pile.
You can sort it pretty easily and it comes
clean pretty quick
here is some steel, put it in the steel pile
I have a little bit more work to do but that's kind of the jist of it
You put it down there and there is some hand picking and sorting
I think it's a whole lot faster than
beating it with a hammer and a chisel
screwdrivers and
just throw down the hammer mill and your done
let me know if you want to see something run
