Hey guys, this is Jason with Mt. Baker Mining and Metals
and today we are going to run three different samples from a customer in Germany
He sent these over DHL
there are three different samples with three different characteristics
this one is more like a electronic shred
a bunch of wires, they all have gone through some
various stages of magnetic separation
there is still quite a bit of steel in this one'
and I think the goal here is going to be to liberate
some more of the copper wire
from the plastic and get the remaining steel out of this one
This is the second sample we are going to run
and this is mostly steel
there may be a little bit of stainless in here
but I think a lot of this will get sucked out with a magnet, there is a piece of stainless that will go through
the magnet will pull out the
ferrous and all the non-ferrous like the copper wire
stainless and aluminum will go through
This is the third sample he sent, which is mostly rubber and plastic
there is some copper wire in here
and a little bit of ferrous and probably aluminum as well
we are going to run it through our
HD hammer mill
with a half inch screen
and than under the mag belt
and try and pull out as much ferrous as we can and show you what comes out the back side
this is the hammer mill we are going to be running the samples through today
this is our 24" x 16" HD hammer mill
it's especially designed for scrap metal processing
we have ribs on the top and the back here
it has between 12 and 24 hammers depending on your application
and the screen in the bottom is a 1 inch thick screen
rolled 180 degrees all the way on the bottom of this case
and this current screen has 1/2 inch slots about 3 and a half inches wide
it is run with a 30 horse electric motor
it will discharge down onto this conveyor belt
which you can either have a guy
hand picking here if you wanted our have it go
continuous up under the
magnetic separation belt here
this will pull out the ferrous material, we are going to use this tray
to catch the ferrous from each sample
and than the non-ferrous will continue up the conveyor belt
and discharge off the end of the conveyor, this is
one of our zig zag separators
we do not have the air classifying system set up
so this is just going to be a chute for today
but the way this works is when the
air is hooked up here, you pull a vacuum
up from the bottom
the heavier material comes across from the air flow up
and it carries the light paper, light pastic
anything, the string, the fluff
will go up into the sucker
and the heavier dense metals will come down into the bottom
This is the stuff pulled out by the magnetic cross belt
and at first we thought we were getting a bunch of copper wire with our steel but
but than we realized
that it's all actually steel and a lot of it
is coated with copper, here is a cow magnet
you can see that's a nice looking piece of copper wire
that's magnetic
same with all this stuff down here, you take a magnet
and it's all steel wire
it's just copper coated
here is the non-magnetic stuff
this is what went under the cross belt magnet
and this is all your
non-ferrous and plastic
and this can go on to further separation
probably by a granulator
and a air separation table
or maybe a
a eddie current after it's been liberated more with a smaller screen in the hammer mill
here is our magnet again
hardly any magnetic it picked up so it's all pretty clean
Alright, so we have finished our samples
Mark, we got your three different samples here, the magnetic and the non-megnetic
we are going to bag some of this up for you and send it back to Germany
and you can analyze them and see what you think
Everyone else, thanks for watching our videos
and we will see you on the next one
