Melting Aluminum Cans At Home - Easy DIY Recycling Process

Рет қаралды 5,457,046

4 жыл бұрын

Today I'll be melting about 300 aluminum cans at home in my backyard foundry. I have been saving these beer and soda cans from some time and I'll turn them into big pure aluminum ingots. This is a very simple DIY project that anyone can do with the proper tools. The whole melting process took about an hour and used a quarter tank of propane.

For all those wondering, I don’t do this for the value of ingots in money. I don’t sell them at all. It’s main purpose is the artwork that I make from them.

Thank you so much for posting this video, I like it when KZfaq puts good videos on my home section. Questions If you don't mind, A few Questions: if you were to sale the ignots vs taking cans to a recycle - would it be worth it? Considering the cost of your tanks - might you explain? Thank you!!

He finally got some good gloves. But he needs to get a face shield, flame retardant shirt, hat and pants. Then a heat shield apron . Equipment wise he should get a better set of thongs to handle the pot during pouring process. I would put a better coating of insulation around it and a vent pipe on top to release the heat further in and over hear to limit the heat reaching him and other things in the area. Safety cost a little more. But that cost is far lower then even a small burn. Many people have been scared for life during similar events.

Your video brought back a lot of memories. My father had an aluminum foundry from the time I was a few years old until my 20's. He smelted it from scrape and sold it to larger steel companies. Later he made a small table top portable BBQ grill out of aluminum and sold thousands and thousands of them. Although he did not as many, he also made ornamental aluminum house shutters He supported his family and made a good living doing so. I still have a couple of the BBQ grills in my attic and they still look brand new - not like the cheap ones that were made back in the 50's and '60's.

I did something similar a few years ago. I used a cheapo bathroom fan with a dimmer switch to control airflow over charcoals and it worked great using an iron teapot as a crucible. Al is selling for < .60/lb so you don't get much if you're just recycling. Actually, if you're going to recycle these for money, this method will cost more than you will receive. Most average 12 oz beverage cans are approx 33 cans/lb and that includes paint and interior resin coating that burns off/gets separated from the Al. However, this is a great method to get somewhat clean Al for casting or for making parts/milling. I never did anything with them, there's still a 6 lb pile of mini aluminum cupcakes in my mom's garage.

Funny how people can find something negative to say about a man pouring aluminum and not bothering anything/nothing

Yeah because when people go to all the trouble to make and post a video where millions of people will see it, it's not like they're expecting that anyone will have an opinion they don't like. (Sarc, of course) It's you tube. If you post something here expecting nothing but wonderful compliments you're an idiot who deserves mocking.

@@geofraz4594 That makes no sense. As far as I can tell, the author made no such statement. Yes, this is "you tube [sic]", where anonymity breeds courageous trolling.

Cool video. I'm interested in making 3D printed stuff, then using molten aluminium from soda cans and some greensand to make the 3D model into metal. Gotta figure out how to melt em first without an expensive kiln, this gave me some ideas! thanks.

Interesting vid. I do a fair bit of lead casting,( bullets) but never aluminium. I did make a can crusher , only one or two at a time though, crude but effective, however once I had a large amount of cans to crush so I had to speed up. Solution , placed a couple of hundred cans in an Australian nylon wool pack , roughly sewed the top and drove the tractor over it a few times, good crush in a very few minutes. We only get about $1 per kg. here for re-cycle, 75 cans per kg. ,so not much money in it. Some states pay 10 cents per can for re-cycle, which is a lot more attractive but mine doesn’t.

these fuelcan foundries are cool and all, but when I build one I really wanna make it larger than just a little can... maybe do something with an old boiler tank - have a proper crucible shifting and pouring rig supported from the ceiling, etc...
