Great video! Which sieve would you recommend for the car harness cable? How many mm?

Can you tell how many mm are the sieve holes?

You should use felt barbecue gaskets instead of cardboard to keep the copper pellets in

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

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.

@hobbyscrapper3576 5 ай бұрын

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

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

does i sperate the rubber from the wire or just shreds it all.

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.

@normhill4650 Жыл бұрын

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.

@CuriousEarthMan 2 ай бұрын

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.
