It couldn’t possibly come on. The machine is 3 phase and the inverter was also off. While you are correct it could have been done safer the chances are very slim for it to come on
If you had it running on three phase it would prolly preform way better we had a beam saw for postform counter tops and it was very weak running on single phase with inverted power
Hi Mate, I am intending to scrap copper mainly from car harness(Car wiring looms). I was wondering if you have done these kinds of wires before and how much was the recovery ratio.
I have done them but they are tedious to do. I don’t know the recovery ratios right off hand but it would be a pain with a wire stripper. And you have to strip the harnesses first before it goes into this machine because they have metal in them and it will damage the blades
Having to manually feed small lengths of cable sorts of defeats the object to me, surely you want a machine that you can just chuck in unprepared cable without the time spent pre cutting and standing there feeding it in.
I don't get the big picture of all this. The machine seems unnecessary? Because at a copper smelter, why not just throw the wire into the red hot furnace direct, because the insulation would burn off.
because of HUGE amounts of pollutants to the air, very expensive to remove, and also it will contaminate the copper, requiring a more complicated smelting process. Copper wire is usually over 99% pure copper. So this takes less work than doing all the extra steps relating to furnace complications, and this way costs less too than all those other things. Also, it's possible to recycle some type of wire insulation, so that saves too.
@@hobbyscrapper3576 I did a little more research, it looks like a "polymer systems hopper type granulator" I want to try to run already stripped wire through something like this to get it in a form that fits easy in a crucible for melting into bars and designs. I really enjoyed your video.

Did anyone else have a heart attack when you noticed it's plugged in while open?

You should use felt barbecue gaskets instead of cardboard to keep the copper pellets in
You could put gaskets on where you need them
You should post a video of separating the copper and insulation.
I have a video on that lol
Big gauge like that green wire you're probably better off just stripping.
Hello, I love your video! quick question, is your shredder a shredder for plastic?
Yes it is
Think I would be watching where I'm putting my hand and arm vs how many amps I'm drawing. But that's just me. I seem to like arms and fingers attached
The blades are so are down that you could never reach them. But you do have a valid point!
where can i get that machine?
Great video!
Which sieve would you recommend for the car harness cable? How many mm?
Love it!
That's what it seemed to me, and have you already tried the rigid 1.5 2.5 cable?
Can you tell how many mm are the sieve holes?
If you had it running on three phase it would prolly preform way better we had a beam saw for postform counter tops and it was very weak running on single phase with inverted power
Chop it like it's hot!!!!
hey, im from brazil, i loved ur videos, could you show about the motor, how many hp? it has any reducer for a higher torque?

What is the purpose of that machine? It looks like it just makes a mess and devalue the copper??
The purpose is to get the copper out of the insulation. Then I separate it with another machine.
@@hobbyscrapper3576 o okay.. great thank you
does i sperate the rubber from the wire or just shreds it all.
It just cuts it up so the copper will come out of the rubber. I use another machine to separate it
What is shredded copper classified as far as scrap . value??
They give me #2 at the junk yard but most of this I keep to melt into bars
Having to manually feed small lengths of cable sorts of defeats the object to me, surely you want a machine that you can just chuck in unprepared cable without the time spent pre cutting and standing there feeding it in.
That would be ideal but this is what i have to work with right now not a $30,000-$50,000 machine
You need to do prep on wire regardless this is the best way , much quicker than sitting there with a stripping machine
The machines you’re referring to take up about as much real estate as a living room. This one doesnt
for separate copper from plastic you used water or melt all? sorry i dont speak english if you say on video xD
Water
where can I buy one of these machines?
This should be good 👍🏻
I’m still learning all the video making parts lol
@@hobbyscrapper3576 me too brother 🤣👊🏻
Hello.do u have any instructions or details on buying a small unit like ur’s as I do it as a hobby cheers
I got this one used from equipment auction. You can get them a lot cheaper that way
Lockout tagout !
I like this.. I am also get this one..

Also it is illegal😂
Where did you get that granulate machine
At a used equipment auction
@@hobbyscrapper3576 thank you I'm going to Google it around my Area ty
Do you have a name or link to the granulator you are using
I don’t I’m sorry this is a family members machine he lets me use

@@Aaron-ro2yz that’s what I do with mine after I separate the insulation from the copper.
Were r these machine auction
Online or at a Going out of business sale
Peris kitni hai
How much cost
$800 used at a machine auction
look me my copper wire machines
Thank you very much for this video I have questions can I by one thank you
You can buy one for a dealer this one is a friends I use. He got it from a used equipment auction
