This seems like a needlessly complicated way to get rid of a couple blocks of ice.

@billykulim5202 4 ай бұрын

i wonder why not just put those block of ice in container, so when you put your pour into the ice, it will cool and submerge with ice water and not slide around and no mess

A fun addition to your setup may be an eddy current generator. Basically a drum covered in magnets that spins. If you run your scrap shreds over it, the plastic should drop from gravity and the aluminum will get a bit of a flicking action that can send it down a secondary chute into a separate container. Much less water waste, and less need for the drying step!

A tip: if your wires won't go through the the wire stripper, instead of shredding them (and of course making more mess for yourself) cut the plastic casing off with a Stanley blade and THEN shred your metal once everything is stripped from the outside and the core. Honestly this way saves you alot of time and sifting.
