A number of years ago, i scrapped over a ton of medium size motors. After timing the break down time, I made just over a dollar per hour.

Breaking motors down is a really labor intensive job.

The end caps on the hvac motor are usually aluminum also. Little bit of work(less than a minute) and you've got clean aluminum.

@iscrapapp hi Tom! I’m wondering about those fan motors you see in microwaves and some ovens that have a wire spool like an inch away from the rotor, if I remove that spool of copper can the rest of it still go into the motor pile? Or does it then become shred? My yard dosnt do “light iron” because they are partnerd with a steel mill anything that isn’t melting steel they call “white goods” and frankly dosnt pay enough to make it worth the time. Thanks in advance!

@iScrapApp 7 ай бұрын

Great question, It will likely go into the shred pile as you've taken the most valuable metal out of the motor already. Yards typically want to see the motor complete. Sucks to hear about your yard though

@@iScrapAppthanks for the quick response! Yeah it sucks that shred isn’t worth anything in Yeg🇨🇦. But thanks for your videos! Scrap ya later

Thanks bro . What about water motor. In Italy there are motors with aluminum body. Does this aluminum body worth any money???

@iScrapApp Жыл бұрын

Many that have aluminum bodies may be better off getting taken apart.

Can't say I've seen a large motor with aluminum windings. I see them in vacuums a lot.

@@iScrapApp great point, and probably a good feature for a cieling fan because it makes it lighter. Those awful low end garbage disposers that Americans commonly buy also have aluminum windings. Awful because they rust out in just a couple of years.
