- In this video i'm casting large Aluminium Ingots which are made from empty Coca Cola and other soda cans.
First i'm shredding the cans to make them smaller, and then i'm melting them in my metal foundry.
The RAW footage was cut up very much because it took me several hours to melt all the cans :)
The result are 3 awesome amuminium ingots which i will use in my future aluminium casting projects

A big thanks goes to my parents who collected these soda cans for the past 6 months. They also helped me in this video to shred the cans and do some preparations for the video. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

A huge thanks to my parents who collected these cans for me the past several months ! Also thanks to www.baller.be for supplying me these T-shirts (only Belgian and Dutch people will know what these mean :) Soon there will be some 'PressTube' Merch also !! Who would buy PressTube Merch?
hello
Yay merch
Ik kan dat lezen
PressTube can you cast from the ingots a aluminium sword of a weapon or something just like that
i´m worried for your parents. 1000 soft drinks can´t be good for you!
Me: “That’s at least 6 kg.”
Him: “3 kg.”
Me: “What… Oh wait, that’s aluminium.”
I thought the same thing!
For future reference, when making massive ingots like those, you might try dusting the inside of the mold with a little powdered graphite. It'll help the mold release the ingot.
Now you can make an iron pickaxe
Alex Triboi do you Stoll Play Minecraft like me?
@@RSFrROAS yep
an aluminium pickaxe*
You mean aluminum? Also it wont be very durable :/
No with mods aluminum pickaxe
Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Also, I really appreciate that you use the Internation System instead of the English System. Do NOT let them change you.
@@Bashfulvideos1 UK and the rest of the world does, its the USA that doesnt.
@@asdfpoop33921 A lot of British people use imperial too
Me: Where is the ice?
Freshly casted aluminium ingot: Gone, reduced to atoms.
Well freshly casted aluminium ingot , is wrong , it's still in molecules !
technically it got reduced into molecules.
@@billkillernic here comes two scientists in the replies
In the US scrap cast aluminum is about $0.30 per pound. So 20 lbs of aluminum is worth about $6 in the US. It's not about the money is about what you can make with it which makes it more valuable. Paint is very cheap but fine art in a museum costs substantially more. It's all about what you do with the artistic medium that counts. People will pay much more for a car pulley or a toothed gear than the material it's made from. My point is it's not the scrap that's valuable it's what you do with it that matters most. Thank you for your video. I absolutely love your grinder and foundry setup. It's a high quality setup and one you should be genuinely proud of. Great video, I learned a lot.
You are honestly one of the best channels on TH-cam :)
These projects probably take so much time and effort yet you still put videos out on schedule plus they are quality content and that is why I am part of the notification squad of you're channel. P.S. keep up the good work.

I very much enjoyed this video. I also have made a home furnace to melt aluminium and brass. I have found that a small amount of table salt helps separate the dross from the aluminium for a significantly better yield. My experience has been that the dross, when hot, has an ash-like consistency and is very frangible after it has cooled. Thank you very much for posting these videos.
Looks like nearly 50% in volume is slag, plastic lining, paint and lacquer. Nice ingots and good video.
I was amazed at the volume of slag. Is it good for nothing waste?
Not really. I can tell there is a lot of aluminum still in that slag. He wasn't very careful scrapping it off, so he can reheat and melt out the remaining aluminum. And, most of that slag is aluminum oxide, which is what a lot of angle grinder wheels are made from, so he actually has a way of making his own grinding compound out of it.
Aluminium cans are super thin.

I really admire your work
I'm not sure if it's because I'm deliriously tired and cannot focus, but that bear tshirt is the best thing I've seen all week. I need one.
Great video.
That shredders got be the best garden toy you can have I could play with that all day everyday it's awesome and satisfying to watch
that's a lot of slag. think you could get maybe half an ingot more if you purify that!
A lot of it was caused by him shredding the cans - if he had put them in one at a time and fully submerged each can using a piece of rebar he would have gotten an extra 2.6 pounds of aluminum.
ik ben geen Nederlander omdat ik dit spul heb vertaald, maar ik wil zeggen dat dit een geweldige video is
Toffe t-shirt. Ik ben een bear!🐻
Might as well call me grape I’m so jelly of your shredder for processing the cans!😂 Sweet setup. 👍🏻
Nice video, not clickbait like I expected
8:19 Forgive for my dirty hands😂😂
Hallo , I'm TIEFA.
We loved your channel
That is one beautiful ingot my friend!
I’m going to make some metal from aluminum cans and pennies at my dads ranch tomorrow.
Thank you for showing me how :)
If you still have one of them send it to DemolitionRanch so he can make a video
but he already shot an aluminum block tho.
wuss poppin jimbo true but why not two
He already shot it duh matt
You should put your mold on top of your furnaces. You will get t a better ingot no air bubbles
I did this once as a teenager (I’m upper teens now, but that was lower teens). My friend and I started a giant fire in their backyard, and melted a ton of aluminum cans and a bit of foil to increase the purity. We even used an air mattress air pump to give the crucible more air. Their mom thought that we had meant a few pieces of paper on fire when we asked, and not a homemade forge. We had 10 gallons of water on standby in case something went wrong (when we put it out, the 5 gallon bucket wasn’t enough, so we had to use the second one). Their mom actually let us do it when she found out! She just supervised us afterwards. That was an interesting day.
Alexis Harper interesting day?! More like the coolest day ever! My mom would never let me attempt such a thing. Ur so luckyy😓
Salazzle is fucking hot
Richie Ingpiece Um, yeah, so just an fyi, a regular fire can melt iron very slowly, so why would you EVER construct a fire on aluminum, which has a melting point that is a little more than half of iron’s melting point? That’s just plain stupid.
@@hokage1997 the pokemon if so why
Aluminum foil generates more dross than aluminum, even when submerged in molten aluminum - don't waste your time tossing it into your crucible.
Those aluminum ingots are sweet!
I have several comments. First, the aluminum in can form is valuable as scrap, (To make new cans.) A better thing to melt would be to get ond pistons, heads etc. The alloy from the castings will give you stronger castings for your project.
Next, if you would have made smaller ingots, you could have just re-melted them next time. By making ingots bigger than your crucible now you have to chop them up before you can melt them.
The value in those 1000-1100 cans was a youtube video that would generate millions of views.
I don't follow your thinking. Why would melting cans be more entertaining than old pistons?
Because views make money and money is nice.
VbgVbg 113 ,
I get the point that making an interesting video can earn money for the creator of the video.
Did you get my points about the size of the ingots and the choice of the alloy chosen to melt?
Yeah, he should have remelted them to make it as pure as possible, no slag or waste in them
I wish I had the stuff to do this coz this is awsome!
The Brick Man, Go watch the (king of random) Channel he shows you how to build a backyard Foundry using plaster of Paris and play sand I've made one and it was fun.
Thanks for the video to satisfy the BASE LINE OF HUMAN DNA of creation+restoration+construction etc.
I don't have any kind of stuff to do these things BUT ,,,,, Now , I think I am doing these things , through your hands. Thanks again for your valuable videos.
I don't know what it is about this video but I love watching it over and over again I guess all I can say is that it is awesome 👍 keep them coming 👍
Já estava com saudades desses tipos de vídeo. ❤
This video earned you hundreds of times as much money as the metal could ever be worth though.
Lord Haberdasher that was the idea I’m guessing
At 8:04 I could swear I saw an Innova DiscCatcher in the yard. That is awesome! Disc on, brother!
Je komt uit 🇧🇪 ik vind jouw een leuke TH-camr
He made $22-$25 of those bars. But hey you can buy more cans now.
It's 10 minutes I guess 4 ads and USA channel = US CPM = GREAT CPM = 1.3m views / 1000 x 2.5 = 3.2k
But that's a bit high only if it's USA all but his made around 1.8-2.5k
A lot of scrapyards wont even buy homemade ingots. Theres no telling what someome actually put in it
Hi Pain Exist
But he could have gotten 100 dollars if he recycled though
and burned a lots of gas!
2 favorite maschines in the video
Cool Ben 01 they are not maschines lol they are machines
This is the FIRST Video I have seen where someone shredded things and actually used what was left of them to make something else
Am I the only one that finds all of his videos relaxing?
Your videos are so satisfying .... I watch then again and again ...- love from india.

I respect that you spelt aluminium correctly
Shame you spelled ‘spelt’ wrong :-p Just kidding ;)
This foundry melt copper
PressTube I was gonna type "spelt is correct" until I saw the "just kidding"
Unknown Asian its aluminum. Look it up dude, it ain't aluminium
dudeface gaming its both
Very cool to get to see this in action. Good stuff.
Awesome work , thanks for sharing
Where does one buy a shredder like that? Also, the furnace?
Google it.......
As a person having no idea what to term this type of shredder, I googled it and was inundated with paper shredders and leaf shredders. Plastic and waste shredders only return industrial machines in the $11000 range.
Thanks for being unhelpful in response to a legitimate question.
Amazon is the way. Fellow traveler, let us walk the roads to Amazon together.
Google was sooooo much help. Not! It’s a double shaft industrial shredder but I couldn’t find a retailer who sells them. You may be able to order from a manufacture for around $3K US.
Google it.....lol Another way of saying I have no fucking idea what you are talking about.....
Did you weigh all the cans together before?
Yea?!
Yeah i was interested in how much weight was in the slag and how much went up in smoke!
well 1 can approximietly 15grams x1000 equals 15000g=15kg something around that i think
33.33 pounds you stupid shit net loss of 10 pounds
35 cans are about 1 pound I know because I scrap cans for cash
its getting harder and harder to find cool videos on youtube. this was a cool one. very interesting
ThIs is my fist video of yours that I’ve seen and I have to say I’m already a fan
I took some cast aluminum in to sell and the value was less than the loose cans per pound I took in.
That's is usually because cans are a known "Grade" of Aluminum that can simply be crush and sold to Smelters, Ingots are can all kinds of unknown other materials and so have to be refined before reuse
Yes, you could have added zinc or lead to make it heavier, and as the other person said, they know what cans are but ingot they don't. A cool vid though, I'm a foundry guy so no critiques from me, I'll be nice. Good job.
Another cost to you is your fuel cost. Too energy intensive.
Also all that guop he took out was zinc
Awesome video. So aluminum today in US is .92c/lb. I would love to be able to try this, but ingot around here sells for junk price. Great vid, subscribed!
Me: Hell is not a bad word
You: Oh hell no! You said a bad word!
Yeah pretty much
It says H*ll yeah and not hell yeah
I love this content because you make me very happy
Hey if you let your aluminum harden a bit more between pours would they break apart if you hit them with a hammer? If so that would be like the little 1gram gold/silver sheets that break apart.
Need about 100 of thos ingots to make som good armour in Skyrim
You mean IRON DAGGERS
Dankzij de reacties weet ik dat je belgs ben ga door met youtube je doet t goed💪✌
I never thought I’d see the day that I would find shredding and melting cans relaxing 😂😂. This is so cool.
By seeing a hole with a hell hot flame I’m already sure ima enjoy dis. Also the crushed cans/aluminium material looks cool
In Germany you cant do this..or better said it wont make sense. In Germany you get 0,25 € for a can if you bring it back to the supermarkets.
Djerun88 do you need a proof of purchase to claim that money back?
Pawel Krzysztof Possession is all that's needed in the areas of the US that have deposits on cans. If you have the cans, you can claim the deposit.
Pawel Krzysztof No all cans that get you money back have a certain symbol and you can return it in nearly every store
Or you drive to Venlo.
errrr...but you pay 25c pfand / deposit at the point of purchase.
Also HOLY ALUMINUM THATS ALOT OF CANS
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF CANS
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE
I'm curious what do you guys do with the ingots once you're done with them
It’s amezing that shredder did not get overloaded with all these cans,but it was cool to see that shredding & melting process, too bad you could not fill in the entire block atonce but still it was cool to watch it👍
U T-SHIRT IS GENIAAL BEN, Ik ben een bang bang sapjien en zou graag nog eens een casting video zien! ;)
I admire your endeavours but why don't you make something functional or aesthetic.
Ik ben een bang bang saapjen, en ik ben een beer😂😂😂
I really enjoyed watching this video! I’m curious to what you do with them? Do you take it to a scrap yard? Roughly 22/23 pounds at .50 cents is only $11/$12 worth. So that’s why I was curious to what do you do with them! Thanks I’m advance to anyone who answers!
Great video!
Aahahahaha legend, ik ben een bear😂 en ik ben het bang bang saapjen😂 hou van je videos bro
alexthedawg eindelijk iemand da het begrijpt
Aren’t you spending more money on propane gas than the value of the aluminum? Excuse my naive question, I really don’t know

Great video, was wondering where you got your foundry from, need a good one for my own projects and yours looks like it would fit the bill.
I'm interested in that flaming cage behind you. You made that or where did you buy it from?
Thanks

Ok...I LOVE your accent...So... It's like silk! 😍
awsome video! what did you do with all of the can tabs?
Portrait Coins the tabs are made of the same aluminum. He just shredded those up with the rest of the cans.
Aidan Yelsma why did he rip them off then
Last Day On Earth Bunker Codes some people find them annoying when drinking
That Guy oh
Aidan Yelsma What can he do with the slag?
Wouldn't layering the ingots like that trap impurities in the middle?
Where I got this full foundry with all equipment except propane gas cylinder and 1kg aluminium collect in how many cans want to do it
Did you or would you cut that with a saw to check for porosity. This is a good way to cast your own parts at home. I would like to learn more about de gassing for better aluminum castings. Good video. Thanks.

Beautiful.
I have just purchased a furnace so I can smelt aluminum and copper. My question is how do you dispose of the slag because there seems to be a lot
Also imagine how much money it took to keep that fire going
that fonv dude not much, cans melt in about 10-20 minutes or less.
that fonv dude never mind I didn’t watch the whole video. Probably a lot.
Plus all the power to use the shredder and for such little returns
but 3 mil views !! made good money for him !!
One 1p pound tank is $12.00
Probeer serieus te blijven, het vertalen van de gewichten naar Imperiale eenheden is zinloos en wordt in 99% van de landen op deze Aardkloot niet begrepen.
this was very satisfying to watch
The slag removal is also very satisfying to watch
I freaking want to do this now lol

I bet 5 bucks you woud hurt yourself! :D
Wow what a cool video
I seriously need to get into aluminium casting.
How much does all the stuff you need to melt it cost
Like the gas and the melting thing
Nices Video
You should make a full solid aluminium can with it
What's the crucible made of? Is this economical? How much gas did you use?
How much is your time worth? What did you get for the aluminum ingots?
Nice set up. For some reason I find this rather therapeudic.
_You have a drinking problem_ :P
LOL :P
True
No,his mum and dad do though!
Dutch heh!
drinking is a serious problem when you begin to hide it in the toilet tank, etc. or suddenly make ingots for no apparent reason, at all!
That’s not a drinking problem, that’s a drinking solution!

What do you do with the slag have you tried to melt it down again to get more aluminum out of it?
