Watching you tear these huge motors down make the scrapping I do seem so insignificant. Good video!

That is one giant motor. That was one tough bugger to remove. At least the back was easier. That was very interesting to see, though I will never come across a 700 pound motor.

I highly recommend that you have a 5 gallon bucket by you so you can put all small steel pieces in it. That way your video looks more professional and less amateur hour. To many recyclables get thrown out when just tossed on floor willy nilly. But then if not worried about the $$$ thrown out I guess it no would matter.

Every bolt and scrap piece gets put in a bucket and recycled.

That was great, thank you! When you say "short steel". is that the same as saying "prepared", as in number 1 prepared or number 2 prepared? Also, when you scrap the copper from the stator, do you have to cut off those binding wires that hold the ends together, or it can still go as #2 copper with those attached? Do you have to take the plastic pieces off the copper, or from inside the grooves in the steel part to get #2 copper price, and also #1 prepared for the stator steel? I mean the plastic channels that line the grooves in the stator....do those have to come off/out? I really appreciate your time, thank you!!!
@midwestsmelters1902 ай бұрын
Yes I call prepared steel short steel or foundry steel.....so many different names for the same stuff.....i do not remove the binding twine from the "crowns" and yes u have too remove the plastic insulators. Thank you so much for watching. And i appreciate the comment i hope i could help
